Gimme Indie

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 […]

After the successful debut release “Told You So”, Aussie band Cub Scouts will release their second EP on August 2. Listen to “Paradise” – title track and brand new single. It’ll take you straight into catchy and easy going melodies. Starting with a simple and brilliant piano riff, the song tastes like a 80s summer hit. Even the voices are treated […]

Future Bible Heroes is one of the many side projects of Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields and is a collaboration with bandmate Claudia Gonson and longtime friend, keyboardist Christopher Ewen. After an 11 year absence, they have released a new album, Partygoing. Bubbling under Merritt’s usual darkly humorous lyrics are Ewen’s playful, layered synths, reminiscent of Vince Clarke-era Depeche […]

London-based Landshapes recently signed to the prestigious Bella Union label who released their debut full-length Rambutan last month. This idiosyncratic folk-pop quartet have come a long way since their quirky YouTube hit “Cups (You’re Gonna Miss Me)”, when they were still known as Lulu & The Lampshades. The song sparked a slew of equally cup-happy cover versions, but for the band, it was […]

As raging as the river that they are singing about, are the youngsters from the new Swedish indie act Könsförrädare. Despising the standards of the modern society, this four-piece has found escapism and freedom in making music together. Raging River is the second single from their debut album Curse All Law which will be out this fall on Teg Publishing. […]

If we say Bordeaux, chances are wine will come to your mind almost immediately (and we won’t blame you). Well, the gorgeous west-coast French harbour is now hosting yet another delicacy, aimed this time for your ears: a quintet named Pendentif (“pendant”). Off the forthcoming album is this first single Embrasse-moi (“Kiss me”) whose bouncy bass line is hard to […]

Olle Blomström, a.k.a Faråker  is a national pop treasure. Late 2011 we bumped into his Soundcloud and found the amazing new track “Stå på tå”. It was added to our playlist on January 3, 2013 and started to attract listeners who couldn’t understand a word but loved the sound. “I don´t understand any word of this but I love the melody” […]

It starts off with a slow piano but soon you find yourself immersed in it when drums kick in and the pace changes. Last month These New Puritans released their third album, Field of Reeds, their most ambitious project yet. The song premiered on BBC’s Radio 1 Maida Vale sessions on Wednesday (July 3). It is not included in the […]
