Buddha Trixie describe themselves as four college kids holed up in a garage in San Diego which is perfectly reflected in their latest track ‘Real’. This is not so much recycling classic rock ‘n’ roll, but reviving it with added ebullience. This is an exciting new wave attack that goes way beyond the band’s years.
Fresh: Dreuw – ‘Wait’
Swindon doesn’t exactly conjure a catalogue of memorable musicians, but singer-songwriter Dreuw certainly is someone to put it on the map. His latest track ‘Wait’ is both vulnerable and affecting. Its quiet rippling guitar lines make you feel like you are immediately imposing on someone’s privacy. This is packed with dynamic bravery, if anything it leaves…
A. Sinclair – ‘Liars In The State of New York’
Austin sextet A. Sinclair are set to release ‘Liars In The State of New York’ from their upcoming album Get Out Of The City May 13th via Dangerbird Records. The band have created reflective pools of vocal harmonies accented with fervour from time to time with fiery electric-guitar licks. This is classic rock to the core,…
Fresh: Noble Oak – ‘Hyperion’
Canada continues to showcase an extraordinary new school of electronic artists and Noble Oak is no exception. If he’s aiming for naïve beauty with ‘Hyperion’ then he has hit it consistently here. For something so minimal this is surprisingly lavish. Subtly melodic and gloriously compelling, this is a real headphones moment.
Fresh: Helen – ‘Tell Me’
Bucharest singer-songwriter Helen has released the tantalising electro anthem ‘Tell Me’. Accompanied by a stunning video, there is more than enough pop fuel here to maintain Helen’s momentum for some time to come.
Fresh: On Planets – ‘Brief Pause’
Vancouver’s Sean Wharton is the man behind nectarous outfit On Planets. Latest track ‘Brief Pause’ is a genre bender, packed with broken nostalgia which sounds completely organic given how computerised it is. This has a grace and delicacy that sets it apart from a lot of its peers.
For The Record is back again with another stunning vinyl release.
Bossy Love – ‘Want Some’
I have been waiting to make this Song of the Day for 5 days. A sad admission on my part, but it’s finally live and I can express my unconditional love. Firstly, this is my favourite song released so far this year. Bossy Love have nailed it, this is a heart-bursting, body-moving, electro-pop anthem. John…
As a teenager, when it came to buying new records I would do one of three things.
Fresh: WOMP! & Maya Payne – ‘Falling (Remix)’
Los Angeles producer WOMP! has collaborated with New Zealand native singer/songwriter Maya Payne on new release ‘Falling‘. The result is a deep, heady, delicious mix of electro. Payne’s vocals set this apart from other techno duds leaving you cranking up the volume and hitting repeat.
