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…
Garden City Movement – My Only Love
Tel Aviv electronic trio Garden City Movement have recently released their single ‘My Only Love’ taken from their forthcoming collaborative EP, Modern West. With swathes of primordial pop, ‘My Only Love’ still feels fresh. This will go a long way to putting GCM in the mainstream media, but also on a wealth of club listings.…
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…
Life Is Like A Box Of Records: Nick Anderson
Nick Anderson is one of Glasgow’s brightest characters. A real gent with a beautiful outlook on life and the epitamy of excellent human being. He is one of Stereo’s gig bookers, he is also a talented creative individual and is part of the wonder movement Buzzcut. Aereogramme – ‘The Question Is Complete’ I saw…
Sorren Maclean – ‘Rows & Rows Of Boxes’
Having read the Sorren Maclean’s impressive synopsis then bathing in my first taster of his music, it is easy to see why he has so many strings to his elaborate bow. He has worked with the likes of Colin MacIntyre of Mull Historical Society, Idlewild singer Roddy Woomble and has just completed tour dates with…
Song of the Day: Lazy Day – ‘Oldest Friend’
London 4-piece Lazy Day have taken up a lot of my listening over the last few weeks and today I hope they take up most of yours. ‘Oldest Friend’ is replayable infectious indie pop, it glimmers with ambient freewheeling beauty and is simply magic.
25 Years Of King Tut’s
As Glasgow’s King Tut’s continues to celebrate their 25th birthday this week I thought it fitting to reflect on my experience with the venue, but also catch up with two of the foundations. Craig Johnston is no stranger to Podcart, he is known as a champion of new music and has been on quite the…
Song of the Day: Sea Change – ‘Squares’
Song of the Day comes from Norway’s Sea Change. Ellen A.W. Sundes is based in Oslo and with previous 2014 single releases, she has already captured the attention of numerous London-based sites and bloggers. ‘Squares’ impresses with its intimacy and playfulness, Sundes’ vocals provide instant soothing gratification and her minimalist approach will surely mean we…
C Duncan – ‘Say’
One of the most inspiring things this year (and we are only in January) is the open pool of artists pouring out of Scotland. There is no specific genre or style taking the reins and the calibre of artists already is notable. I was lucky enough to be one of the bloggers invited to the…
Tuff Love – ‘That’s Right’
Fresh from taking over BBC 6 Music DJs attaention with their music, the most recent being Tom Ravenscroft (yes, I was listening and squealed a bit), Tuff Love have revealed a new video for their next single ‘That’s Right’. Taken from the Dross EP released February 9th via Lost Map Records, the ladies also have…
