DIY artist Mint Eastwood has shared new single ‘Man From Atlantis’. A synth-drenched dose of lo-fi dream pop, it fits somewhere between The Flaming Lips, Stars and Future Islands as Mint opens the song by remembering how someone told him ‘you talk too much’. This somber tone continues as he goes on to say how…
Vermont-via-LA-based Babehoven share their new EP ‘Yellow Has a Pretty Good Reputation’ – a collection of three songs that finds Maya Bon exploring themes of loss, love, hope and despair in a fuzzy DIY setting. The drumbeats of recent single ‘Dissociative Tally’ open the EP along with a ludic soundscape that falls somewhere between Fiona…
New Xtra Mile Recordings signings (and Rose Coloured Records alumni!) Berries have shared new single ‘Copy’, a single about ‘imitation and how we are programmed by society to try and live up to other people’s expectations of happiness and how unhealthy, self-critical and obsessive this way of existing can be’. Opening with scattergun Biffy-style riffs…
The Anchoress has shared the video for ‘The Art of Losing’, the title track from her second album due out on 12 March. While the visuals riff on ‘fake news’ and the role the media plays in enabling – and encouraging – it, the song itself is about loss. Catherine Anne Davies says: ‘Every idea…
This collaboration between Polish superstar Brodka and Speedy Wunderground’s in-house band (label boss Dan Carey, Oli Bayston and Liam Hutton) is the 35th single to be released in the label’s esteemed series.

Blanketman have shared ‘Leave the South’, the latest single to be taken from upcoming debut EP ‘National Trust’. Covering the extremely important issue of the north/south divide – one that is showing no signs of improving following our government’s attitude towards Andy Burnham last year – it’s a breezy slice of jangly indie pop that…
Firestations, signed to Lost Map Records, have shared new single ‘The Circular’. An ode to revisionism and owning the past, rather than accepting mythologised versions, it features on the band’s ‘Automatic Tendencies’ project (an album split into three EPs) and reminded us of Grandaddy or Meursault with its gloriously light touch and fuzzed-up guitars.
