Australian trio Movement arrived on the music scene last year with two singles, ‘Feel Real’ and ‘Us’ which Pitchfork named as Best New Track. Their style is pretty unique; not fitting into a set genre. Blurring the lines between R&B, electro and dance, Movement have given the music scene a fresh new sound. Released in…
Excluding last year’s contribution to the ‘Catching Fire‘ soundtrack, Coldplay have not released a single since Hurts like Heaven in 2012. That the band have just announced a new album ‘Ghost Stories‘ will please fans just as much as this new single from the upcoming LP. This is not typical Coldplay either, with the beginning…
‘Home’ is clean, catchy, and suggests huge potential.
Todd Terje, everyone’s favourite Norwegian DJ and house-disco producer (even if they don’t know it yet) is finally releasing his long-awaited first studio album, aptly titled ‘IT’S ALBUM TIME’. Out on the 7th of April, you can pre-order it now and receive an instant download of his single ‘Dolorean Dynamite’. The track is instantly likeable,…
After the première of the lacklustre ‘There Is No Other Time’, the first new Klaxons track in over three years, it appeared that the once-mighty nu-rave titans were doomed to fall into oblivion. Taking their generic, Crystal Fighters-aping indietronica with them in the process. However, with the release of the second track from their double-A…
It’s difficult to recall another act who have garnered such praise and success on the back of such a sparse amount of material. With this in mind, ‘Little Monster’ faces a particularly daunting task as an addition to the band’s petite but currently impeccable back catalogue. The Brighton duo have declared their statement of intent…
Do you ever feel that everything in the British rock music scene is a bit serious these days? There seems to be a lot of bands that want to tell the world how awful their lives are. Well, punk rockers Ugly Love are trying to bring the joy back to music, and their debut single…
‘Rumour’ is the latest offering from the feisty teen pop star Chloe Howl. Following on from sassy ‘No Strings’ and ‘Paper Heart’, ‘Rumour’ is her strongest offering yet. From the electronic beats to the warbling synth, everything about the track is current and catchy. Howl’s powerful vocals have the effect of commanding the listener throughout.…
‘Selfies’ is just as catchy as you’d expect from a Nina Nesbitt single. The track, rather obviously, is about self-takes. The lyrics are candid and witty, and even though they may not be the most serious, this is a respectable pop song. With an ostinato piano riff that continues throughout almost all of the track,…
‘Wanderlust’ is the latest offering from indie-rock quartet Wild Beasts. From the first haunting synth and trembling choral-style accompaniment, the listener gets drawn into the ethereal song. It’s completely unrelenting; from the first note to the last the track elegantly pushes forward, sprinting towards the finish line. Hayden Thorpe’s earnest vocals, which effortlessly slip into…
A listless hangover, jittery relaxation, the nicotine-fueled reminisce of a debauched memory, these are all feelings Mac Demarco has consistently managed to evoke through his work. Such feelings permeate this track from forthcoming LP Salad Days as a sun-soaked, Beach Boys-esque, synthesizer allows itself to wash over us. Accompanying Demarco are his now almost trademarked…
‘Let Go for Tonight’ shows why Foxes is here to stay as a solo artist, not just a collaborator.
The alt pop duo unveil another solid single with ‘Galore’.
The Brit Critic’s choice winner and Sound of 2014 shows us why he’s become king of the accolade.
