This young college kid from Bristol is barely starting off, but his demo for “Flurry” has already been picked up by Fat Cat Records. Previously known as Isle Clay, Thom Quentin Leigh is planning to release a debut EP soon. In the meantime, listen to this soft tune about “a person’s love for someone turning rotten from the inside out”.  

Sydney natives Sticky Fingers have lived up to (and perhaps exceeded) their reputation of wild antics with the release of their new video for “Freddy Crabs”. Set on the seaside, the video begins with the Sticky Fingers washing up on shore, drowning in seaweed and spewing up salt water. The boys then venture through the sand dunes and gallop under […]

British singer-songwriter Dan Croll will release his debut full-length on September 2, after last year’s successful From Nowhere EP. “In/Out”, the title track of the forthcoming album, is a dance pop hit strongly influenced by tropical rhythms.

After releasing a fantastic 7″ last year, 80s-inspired Gold & Youth return with “Jewel,” the gorgeous first single off of their debut full-length, Beyond Wilderness. The throbbing synths and the pulsing drumbeat create a gloomy, almost ominous atmosphere.

It is my pleasure to introduce you to a Latvian indie band Starmetis hailing from a very artsy city called Cēsis.

Formed in Athens in 2010, the modern shoegaze quartet, Wonky Doll and the Echo are beginning to get some notice outside of their native Greece. Guitarist and singer, George Lemons’ deep baritone voice at first resembles The National’s Matt Berninger, but probably has more in common with Peter Murphy of Bauhaus. There is definitely something dark going on here, as […]

Young Archy Marshall is back and the long wait is finally over. Following his eponymous EP from 2011, King Krule surprised us this week with the first single from his highly anticipated full-length, 6 Feet Beneath The Moon. His guitar and his deep voice are enough to put “Easy Easy” on repeat. 6 Feet Beneath The Moon is out on 24 […]

Berlin-based Ballet School, who have mesmerized followers of the Berlin music scene for a quite a while now, just signed with London-label Bella Union and are releasing their first official single Heartbeat Overdrive on August 19th. There is nothing as heartwarming as an 80s disco track done correctly. Ballet School’s Heartbeat Overdrive masters the balance between singer Rosie Blair’s high-pitched […]

Brisbane-based quartet, Major Leagues, have proven that great things do indeed come in small packages with their new single Endless Drain. Running for just over two minutes, the track is effortlessly hypnotic. As breezy guitar riffs propel the song forward, crooning vocals and clever lyric work capture your attention from the get go. Endless Drain also embodies an undeniably wistful […]
