May I be so bold to say that this is the best track that United Fruit have ever released? ‘Ghost Inside Your Head’ has appeared from nowhere ahead of the band’s SxSW appearance in less than a week and once again showcases what an extraordinary progression the band have made. The quality or pace of…
Catholic Action: ‘L.U.V’
Over the last few months there have been plenty of excited whisperings about Catholic Action. The Glasgow 4-piece have gained high praise already for their live performances and are about to release a limited edition split tape via Fuzzkill Records with fellow Glasgow band Poor Things. Our Song of the Day ‘L.U.V’ is taken from…
Deadly Rides: ‘Half Heart’
Song of the Day comes courtesy of Glasgow-based trio Deadly Rides. Rumour has it they have connections to New Zealand, although they are shrouded in mystery. ‘Half Heart’ is nothing other than completely intoxicating, with its rich psychedelia-laced melodies, this band channel a lot of influences, but never lose their own identity. Please, Christ I…
Featherwest: ‘People In The Station’
With their pristine production and more importantly uplifting tracks, Glasgow’s Featherwest are yet another collective to stand out this year amongst a saturation of electronic pop, lad indie rock and univentive emo. Today’s Song of the Day ‘People At The Station’ has identified the 4-piece as a charismatic and luminous group. These pop mavericks are…
Blood Relatives – Deerheart (The Ansion Remix)
No, you are not going mad – this is indeed the second remix of Blood Relatives‘ ‘Deerheart’ I have featured as Song of the Day on Podcart. The last was expertly executed by Mind✝rap. This version remixed by The Ansion (Kilmarnock’s Jonathan Innes) has since popped in my inbox. His love of Efterklang and The…
Forever – ‘Shamed’
With no real information as to who this, assuming Scott Meadows is the man behind Forever according to a Facebook profile, it doesn’t really make much of a difference as debut track ‘Shamed’ is yet another stand out track for 2015. With so many varied influences, this cannot be streamlined to identify one initial dominion…
Sarah J Stanley – ‘I Promise Mum’
I remember seeing Sarah Stanley for the first time live a number of years ago. Both her and her partner owned and ran an arts café called Project Slogan in Aberdeen. I remember seeing a ukulele on stage and inside I think I whispered ‘oh no, here we go’, but like numerous times I was…
Sacred Paws – ‘Vince’
Rachel Aggs and Eilidh Rodgers are Sacred Paws and provide Podcart’s thumping Song of the Day. ‘Vince’ is taken from their forthcoming EP 6 Songs, due to be released March 16th via Rock Action. Should you find yourself craving a galvanized, well-crafted pop song then this will do wonders. An energised and impassioned track from…
Pinkshinyultrablast – ‘Holy Forest’
Credit must go to Admiral Fallow’s Joe Rattray for introducing me to Russian band Pinkshinyultrablast. Named after the 2005 album by noise-pop supergroup Astrobrite, they have become a bit of an office soundtrack. With shoegaze bands such as Slowdive and Ride reforming, many are saying that there is a stylistic resurgence, but with bands such…
Unnveig Aus – ‘How Long Must A Woman Mourn’
5am clarity is what I am sometimes most thankful for. Open mind and open ears are perfect, but sometimes tracks land in my inbox that require neither. Norway’s Unnveig Aus’s ‘How Long Must A Woman Mourn’ will no doubt appeal to the Martha Wainwright and First Aid Kit fans out there. In her own right…
