Minnesota’s Tiny Moving Parts have released the video for ‘Applause’. It comes ahead of the release of their new album, ‘Swell’ (which you can order via BSM here). Intelligent math-pop in the vein of Minus the Bear or previous touring partner Into It. Over It., the song has a stop-start celebratory feel in its irresistible…
Long Distance Calling have unveiled the video for ‘Out There’, the first song from their widely anticipated sixth album ‘Boundless’ (released on 2 February). It’s a 9-and-a-quarter-minute beast of a song that veers into so many different directions that bring to mind both Mogwai and Maybeshewill. It opens with huge-sounding walls of guitar and chunky…
A couple of weeks back, we included Natalie Evans in one of our new music round-ups and now we’re delighted to be hosting the premiere of a simply breathtaking live performance at her label Small Pond’s studio in Brighton. ‘Under the Moon’ finds the Kent-based singer-songwriter laying her heart bare as she sings about wanting…
We’ve been big fans of Glagow-based post rockers Dialects for a few years now and were very excited to hear their debut LP ‘Because Your Path is Unlike Any Other’ (available via Through Love Rec on vinyl now) after hearing their phenomenal EPs and watching live performances at the likes of ArcTanGent and Audiotree.

New Saddle Creek (Bright Eyes, Cursive, Hop Along) signings Young Jesus originally formed in Chicago but have since relocated to Los Angeles and their sound is a combination of shoegaze, Kinsella-style math moments and the intelligent pop sensibilities of Talk Talk. ‘Feeling’ is the first single to be released from upcoming album ‘S/T’ and it’s…
Following the release of ‘Planet Shhh!’, Paul Russell’s Human Pyramids project put a smile on the faces of crowds at festivals ranging from ArcTanGent to Glastonbury and now the Axes man has come up with another 12 pieces of gloriously orchestral pop for you to wrap your ears around. Coming out on Three Mile Town…
Pinegrove – ‘Intrepid’ Pinegrove are set to release one of the albums of 2018 and ‘Intrepid’ is just the first of what are sure to be many essential songs for your broken-hearted playlists. Opening with a sparse and almost-DIY feel, it pulls off the feat of being emotional and charmingly ramshackle. Dreamy slacker-pop meets folk…
After the release of his debut album ‘Empire’ (available from Injazero Records now,) we asked Matt Emery to give us a Top 5 rundown of both the influences on this wonderful record and Top 5 artists or bands he’s listening to right now. This might be the first in an occasional series so do contact…
It’s been a long time in the making, but Matt Emery, one of our favourite people (and an incredibly talented musician to boot) has now released his debut album ‘Empire’. Available via Injazero Records, it’s been released on vinyl and via Bandcamp and is full of compositions that fall somewhere between post-rock songs and classical…

As post-rock giants, Sigur Rós are set to take the stage for the second night of their three-day residency of the Eventim Apollo, and the audience are patiently waiting for a night of two halves, both literally and sonically.
