Psylhouette Share Everything is Fine

Leave a comment

Still circling back to last week where I’m encountering some hidden gems those of us in the States missed out upon, so this Psylhouette is one of those jams I really wanted to get under your skin. The Brighton due have this propulsive futurist brand of pop, working on heavy synths and these sort of crystalized sugared vocals. The tune below locks you in this hedonistic trance, urging you to try and catch the strobing lights as they dance upon the tile floors at your favorite club. This is definitely one of the more upbeat numbers on their new album, Psylhouette III, so don’t go on about town looking for more of the same!

Our Girl Shares Emotive New Single

Leave a comment

Brighton based upstarts Our Girl have really been dropping some heat this year with a ton of new singles including the jams “Relief,” “Something About Me Being a Woman,” and “The Good Kind.” While you take a listen to those stellar tunes, go ahead and queue up the band’s next single called “What You Told Me” below. It’s rare you can find a band nowadays who pull off the combination of twee pop with dashes of shoegaze sort of like stalwarts Slowdive used to do (and sort of still do I guess). Truly a lovely body of work for this new album.

Our Girl will release new album The Good Kind on November 8th via Bella Union. Pre-orders are live now.

Prom Shares Post-Emo Jam

Leave a comment

Brighton based label Small Pond is possibly one of the busiest indie labels in the UK, which one can discover by checking out the myriad of releases on their bandcamp page. For a quick run down of what the label has been up to recently, a big compilation is upcoming with 16 new tracks from up and coming label discoveries. One of those new bands are locals prom who have offered up this track “Fancy Word For Addiction” for the soon to be released compilation. It’s an engaging piece of a sort of post-emo meets late 90s grunge type tune and serves as a promising preview for this new compilation.

The new compilation from Small Pond, Small Pond Emerging – Volume III, will be released on November 24th. Pre-orders are live now.

Sludge Punk from Genn

Leave a comment

Brighton via Malta punk rockers GENN are continuing my huge dose of energy and drive recently with their new single called “Days and Nights.” It features a super sludgy take on punk rock with heavily distorted bass and guitars along with just the right amount of drops and fills. Think something like Dead Weather or maybe even the darker side of QOTSA. Whatever you call it, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

This song is part of a new album entitled unum due out on October 7th via Liminal Collective. Pre-orders for that are live now.

Paul Thomas Saunders Shares Cruel

Leave a comment

Brighton based artist Paul Thomas Saunders has really altered and molded my musical tastes over the last few months with the new singles he’s been releasing. As one who usually gravitates towards louder, guitar and bass focused sounds, Saunders has thrown me for a loop with his slower, melodic and sometimes broodier take on songwriting. His latest single, “Cruel”, is a track that can take you on a sort of rollercoaster of emotion through joy, happiness and back again to simply relief. These songs are truly stunning and powerful examples of the emotional impact a songwriter can have on us all.

Saunders will release his new album Figure in a Landscape on October 21st via 7476 Records. Pre-orders are live now.

 

Video Premiere: Fujiya & Miyagi Drop New Body Language

Leave a comment

Brighton based Fujiya & Miyagi is simply one of the most well known names in the indie electronic pop game, having started their musical career over twenty years ago. Nathan and I have really been seeing the tunes coming out this year as a welcome return to the band’s engaging, dance pop ways. So naturally we were thrilled and excited when asked to premiere this new single with accompanying video for “New Body Language”. This, sure to be on your weekend party mix, song will be the last track released before new album Slight Variations is released on Friday. Pre-orders are currently live for digital and physical releases of the LP.

Here’s some words from David Best on both the track and the video:

Track: “New body Language is probably the most instant and accessible song on the record. We took a lot of our current listening habits and put them in a blender till it turned out like us.”

Video: “The video Bob Brown & I made plays with the idea of perception. How we appear to ourselves is generally not how we are perceived by others.”

Enchanting New Single From Paul Thomas Saunders

Leave a comment

Brighton based artist Paul Thomas Saunders really made a name for himself back in 2014 with the release of his debut album Beautiful Desolation, but despite a few singles in 2017, he took a complete hiatus from music. Today fans of Saunders were treated to an unlikely new single and the announcement of his sophomore album, just eight years in the making. When you are dormant for so long, it’s going to take something hauntingly beautiful like this new single “Bloodlust” to really re-announce yourself into the music world. What an incredible way to come back. Welcome back sir.

The sophomore release from Paul Thomas Saunders, Figure in a Landscape, will be out October 21st via 7476 Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Playful Pop Tune From Nancy

Brighton based artist NANCY really hit the ATH pages a couple of years ago with the artful and quirky pop release of the EP, Happy Oddities. After the EP, NANCY also dropped a “mini-LP” last year, to much fanfare from most of the biggest music publications out there. While most have been focused on some of the bigger things going on in the music world today, I was a little giddy when I saw a new LP announcement from NANCY along with the drop of this new single “Judy”. It’s straight up just a near perfect indie pop song worthy of a whole bunch of repeat listens. Check it out below.

Blame Recordings will be releasing the official debut LP from NANCY, entitled English Teacher, on October 28th.

 

Ciel Deliver Another Ripper

Leave a comment

Brighton based outfit CIEL picked up some steam in the Spring of this year with a new single and vague details of a new EP on the horizon. Today we have more concrete details of the new EP, Not in the Sun, Nor in the Dark, with an accompanying new single to boot. I think you’ll find “Baby Don’t You Know” features this hazy, dream pop, almost shoegaze inspiration but with a downright sick grit and edge that you simply don’t find often in the genre. You will love it.

New EP Not in the Sun, Nor in the Dark will drop on October 7th via Jazz Life.
