Nestled between the mountains and the sea, south coast legends, Shining Bird, have been hard at work putting the final touches on their debut album Leisure Coast. If you weren’t already skitzin’ (as the boys would say) over the Bird’s forthcoming release, their album promo video “The Wonders Of The Leisure Coast” and new single “Stare Into The Sun” should […]

Earlier this summer RY X released the heartbreakingly beautiful track “Berlin”. He is just about to release his equally titled EP on Aug 28. Here’s an exclusive premiere of new song “Vampires”. He was born in a small village on the Australian coast where he grew up surfing and says he would not know what to do without nature. His travel biography is quite […]

The Darcys release “Muzzle Blast”, the latest single from their highly anticipated 3rd album Warring. Toronto four-piece The Darcys have spent two albums exploring various nuances of ethereal, artful indie rock – always with darker, ominous undertones and always with beautiful results. Like Foals or Wild Beasts, their surface-level pop and post-rock influences carry a deeper tension, a sense of […]

Capturing the last warm days of the summer is the Texas-born and Brooklyn-based musician John Peña a.k.a. Heavenly Beat. His beats are indeed sent from heaven – the easiness of the steel drum blends perfectly with the surf-pop guitar rhythm, bringing the Hawaiian beach to the stuffy city streets. Complete is taken from his upcoming second LP Prominence which is […]

Part Time may have started out as a solo side project for San Francisco musician, David Speck, but has turned into a full-time band with a newly released album, PDA. The project began as a diversion while Speck was playing in indie rock bands in Austin. Leaving behind the loud and boisterous rock & roll, Part Time’s style is hazy, […]

Earlier this week, Leeds band Sky Larkin premiered the video for their new single “Loom”, a cheery song that will fool you at first. Listen closely, and you’ll notice the darkness underneath. This song is “the saddest on the record”, according to singer Katie Harkin. Who has also contributed playing keyboards and backing vocals on tour with Wild Beasts and […]

Meditations is the second track to be revealed off Stockholm-based Holograms‘ second album Forever. Meditations is nothing but a punch in the face that intrigues until the last tone and hits the spirit of the contemporary post-punk sound flourishing in Scandinavia right now. Forever will be released in Sweden on September 18th by Stranded Rekords and in rest of the […]

Last week was no ordinary one for Sydney quintet The Preatures. Not only did they release their new EP, Is This How You Feel, they also dropped a smokin’ hot clip for their single Manic Baby. Visually, the clip is an homage to the past; with lycra, PVC and kitschy dance moves dominating the mise en scene and exuding an […]

Stockholm based Mountain Bird released a brand new single this week, right after the acoustic live version they shared on Soundcloud a few days ago. Not so far from the dreamy atmosphere of Youth Blood pt.1, this Adam Öhman project stressed the point on the dreamy and echoing evocative background of the song. This way the tune lies on wide […]
