‘Take Me As I Am’ doesn’t exist in the standard 3D tangible world that the rest of us mortals live and breathe in. You may be listening to it in the here and now, making cogent sense of heavily distorted lyrics about acceptance and safety, but the bass-driven, dreamy melody, hypnotic synths, mesmerising drum poundsContinue reading “em koko – Take me as I am”

Fate Of The Sun – UFO
For a little bit, Fate Of The Sun went quiet on us. We thought he was away in his bunker, concocting his latest batch of dystopian fuzz-hop. Turns out he was getting summoned up in an intergalactic traction beam and, thankfully for us music fans, he got chucked back down over by the Wentloog hinterlandsContinue reading “Fate Of The Sun – UFO”
AIRFLO – Swansong
Drifting in with dreamy strumming and gentle vocals, we presumed at first that Bristol and Newport’s AIRFLO had gifted us a charming little acoustic number for their second single. As we sat and listened, however, it became searingly obvious that ‘Swansong‘ is a bit more of a hefty, profound beast than its tender opening chimesContinue reading “AIRFLO – Swansong”
Jackson Lucitt – Save Our Steel
There are few better ways to make a worthy cause heard than to put a powerful message to music. Port Talbot indie-folk singer/songwriter/all-round person who makes things happen (see Shiny Vinyl) Jackson Lucitt has joined a long tradition that runs from the most poignant of protest songs to political punk rock in order to bringContinue reading “Jackson Lucitt – Save Our Steel”
Megan Wyn – Familiar Faces
Megan Wyn’s second single, ‘Familiar Faces’, is as forceful and powerful as indie rock tunes come. The Welsh girl’s voice is at it’s husky finest and, along with co-songwriter Alex Quinn (The Royston Club, Lottery Winners), she’s managed to successfully forge an intensively driving alt-anthem to raging heartbreak. As she casts off the track’s soaringContinue reading “Megan Wyn – Familiar Faces”
Silent Forum – Here’s The Email
In small, atomised, spare bedrooms all across the land, lone office workers log in to check their emails, dripping milk from a bowl of Cheerios all over their duvet, soaking papers on their desk with Tassimo Costa macchiattos as they bustle to show active on Teams by 9am. With post-punk shades of Idles, Sports TeamContinue reading “Silent Forum – Here’s The Email”
Elli Glyn – Pretend
Let’s be honest, the warm summer nights are likely all behind us now, but if September does have a treat or two in store or you’re heading off to sunnier climes for a few days, you may have just stumbled across the perfect radiant soundtrack for some cocktails by the pool or a gin andContinue reading “Elli Glyn – Pretend”
Megan Wyn – You Don’t Get It
The debut single proper from Welsh girl in Manchester Megan Wyn is an absolute corker! Those folk keeping their eyes on the emerging music scene have likely noted that Wyn has spent the past two years putting out music and playing venues all over the UK but the release of ‘You Don’t Get It’ seesContinue reading “Megan Wyn – You Don’t Get It”
MACY – Shoulders Back
Bubblegum-pop starlets don’t come any more fizzy and energetic than MACY and her new single ‘Shoulders Back’ is every bit as sparkling as any of her releases to date. Like contemporaries Charli XCX, Dua Lipa and Little Mix, the Abertillery performer takes shamelessly overt melodies and couples them up with razor sharp, glistening EDM productionContinue reading “MACY – Shoulders Back”
Aderyn – I Wish I Had A Dog
We’ve been racking our brains on this one but we’re pretty sure that, to date, there have been zero songs inspired by the utter horrendousness of suffering private rental landlords with rules like 1) No Dogs and 2) Fines for putting up pictures on your wall. With her latest single ‘I Wish I Had AContinue reading “Aderyn – I Wish I Had A Dog”
