Cara Mitchell – ‘Suspended Motion’
Song of the Day comes from Aberdonian Cara Mitchell. ‘Suspended Motion’ is a satisfying blast of unmeasurable potential. I never want to sound insulting when I mention someone’s age, but at 19, it’s entirely possible that Mitchell could be something of a big hitter in the future. On the flipside, this is already something to…
DOWNLOAD: Little Arrow – ‘Medicine Moon’
Little Arrow‘s ‘Medicine Moon’ is a peculiar little track and features on the Welsh band’s third album Furious Finite. It’s one of the standout tracks on there but listening to the album in its entirety you quickly realise that there’s more to this band than odd lyrics and upbeat folk melodies. Furious Finite is out…
Vasquez – ‘Thumbmusic’
I always feel this wave of relief when Vasquez are making new music. It’s Scottish bands like this that get me most excited. They are a unique entity and ‘Thumbmusic’ cements them as one of the most dynamic bands of my current listening. The controlled intensity yet complexity of ‘Thumbmusic’ shows stunning experimentation, it radiates…
Shambles In A Husk – ‘The TOWIE Effect’
Song of the Day comes from the exceptional Shambles In A Husk. They are one of the best bands in Scotland, no question. Aside from being one of my favourite track titles to date, ‘The TOWIE Effect’ is beautifully broad in texture. This may be ferocious, but its intelligence matches its intensity. For some this…
Ubre Blanca – ‘Red Skies’

Released via Clan Destine Records November 3rd, ‘Red Skies’ has a full-bodied groove produced for maximum dance floor bombardment. With an undercurrent of 80’s stylistics, fuck the analysing – just dance.

Errant Boy – ‘The Night Dilates’
Edinburgh’s Errant Boy are Song of the Day today. The 4-piece release ‘The Night Dilates’ 24th November via Permwhale Recordings and it is free to download. With tangible gloom, yet a satisfying romantic air, ‘The Night Dilates’ is revelatory.
Miss Danby & The What – ‘Humdinger’
Song of the Day comes from Newcastle today. Lo-fi, sweet, and Miss Danby’s vocal is sublime. With its vitriolic blasts, ‘Humdinger’ does everything to satisfy my stifled teenage angst. For people like myself that have drowned themselves in bands like Hole then there are obvious comparisons, the chord progressions and riffs might not be groundbreaking,…
