Released as part of Saddle Creek‘s Document series which highlights some of esteemed label’s favourite acts who are not yet part of their family, Hand Habits (also known as Meg Duffy to her friend and family) is an artist you’ll want to hear more from after just one listen. Hailing from upstate New York, the…
Excitement is already at breaking point for ‘A Fever Dream’, Everything Everything‘s fourth album. Now, it will go up another level after the Manchester masters of oddball pop revealed their new single, ‘Desire”. A synth-led intro dives into the bands more math-rock elements before it takes a typically EE turn into 80s power pop with…
Lomelda – ‘Interstate Vision‘ Lomelda (or Hannah Read to her parents) is a GoldFlakePaint favourite who has toured with Pinegrove and is starting to develop a loyal, passionate following. It’s easy to see why. Her songs sound like a combination of Kevin Devine and Sharon Van Etten and ‘Interstate Vision’ is an acoustic and sparse…
Everything Everything – ‘A Fever Dream‘ (live) This video sees Everything Everything showcase the title track from their new album in all its glory. It opens in uncharacteristically sparse and piano-led fashion, giving plenty of space for Jonathan Higgs’ falsetto to breathe. Within a minute, the glitchy Radiohead-esque elements to come in before the bass…
Signed to Hanger Records, Brighton’s Murderhouse are a four-piece emo-punk band who play interesting shows with cool bands (their upcoming Brighton gig with itoldyouiwouldeatyou and Orchards looks like it will be a blast) and they also have a healthy disregard for capitalisation and spacing, judging by the title of ‘BURYMEbeneathGRUBBS’. Anthemic from its very first…
We’ve been hearing good things about Bellevue Days for quite a while now and when we saw them at 2000 Trees, we were suitably unpressed. Playing the festival mere days after releasing the ‘Rosehill’ EP, the Croydon four-piece have plenty more exciting gigs in the pipeline – including appearances at Citadel and the Summer Westival…
‘You were born with thicker skin and I am only oxygen’ are the first lines of Magana‘s new single ‘Inches Apart’ and if that doesn’t get the hairs on the back of your neck standing up, the sheer emotion of her vocals and Cat Power-meets-Jeff Buckley guitars are sure to grab you. Dark, cold and…
Already played twice in a row by Daniel P. Carter on Radio 1’s Rock Show (and with another daytime airing on the station to boot) The Xcerts have made a welcome return with ‘Feels Like Falling in Love’. On 2014’s ‘There Is Only You’ album, the trio delved into a more Springsteen or Tom Petty-esque…
We’re living in a very divisive society right now and it’s horrible. We went to Glastonbury the other weekend and the difference between there and ‘real life’ was incredible. It was so refreshing to be surrounded by people who were actually open-minded and respected each other. itoldyouiwouldeatyou have always been keen advocates of acceptance and…
Bad News Club – ‘False Start‘ Luke Prosser’s Bad News Club returns with another song to make you sad. With an emotive Antlers-esque opening, ‘False Start’ progresses into a slice of dream pop a la Beach House as woozy guitars join the mix. Luke sings about how ‘The curtains are closing as you realise it’s over.…
