Sassyhiya Announce Take You Somewhere

Leave a comment

Fresh off of the catchiness of “Kristen Stewart,” London’s Sassyhiya return with the announcement of their brand new LP, Take You Somewhere. They jump right back into the joy of life with another infectious number, teasing you with noise before bouncing into the upbeat jangling that sets up the vocal work. Those vocal notes seem to ride on the crests of the rhythm section, going up and down as the track pitches back and forth, though the second foray into the verse seems a bit softer tonally. You should definitely have Take You Somewhere on your radar, as it drops on November 8th via Skep Wax.

Black Doldrums Deliver Another Hit

Leave a comment

London based Black Doldrums came onto my musical radar last month with the fuzzed out, post punk single “Hideaway.” As many know, once a band gets on my radar, I tend to save all new singles and albums as they come in. Such is the case with this new single “Summer Breeze,” which offers a hint of brightness underneath the sort of dark wave sound I originally vibed with. You’ll find lots to like here.

Black Doldrums have a new album entitled In Limerence due out on October 18th via Fuzz Club Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Black Doldrums Drop Hideaway

Leave a comment

Dang if London based label Fuzz club hasn’t been dropping some serious heat recently as purveyors and curators of modern, fuzzy psych rock. Continuing with the string of modern gems in the label’s catalogue is this dark wave psych number called “Hideaway” from fellow London risers Black Doldrums. I am personally loving the play here on what some might consider a fuzzed up, psych sound with a gnarly, darker, post-punk type vibe. For me, it creates something all together unique and fresh in the genre.

Black Doldrums have a new album entitled In Limerence due out on October 18th via Fuzz Club Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Sassyhiya Share Kristen Stewart Single

Leave a comment

Even though we’re drawing near the end of the Summer, or maybe that’s wishful thinking, we’ve still got room for this Summer Jam from Sassyhiya. Seriously, if the infectious delivery and stuttering dance from the percussion aren’t enough to get you grooving, then maybe you’ll have to turn to the chorus. They open the tune up there, offering a nice melodic glide with some classic cymbal work filling in the background space. Personally, the employment of multiple layers of vocals throughout the tune is a nice little 1-2 punch for me, laying me out on the floor so I can play the track on repeat. This song will appear on a limited 7″ via Skep Wax, and we can only hope there’s more exciting pop of this sort coming our way.

Check Out Shapeshifting From Human Interest

Leave a comment

London based dup Human Interest really came on to my radar with a force late last year with the release of their stunning EP Empathy Lives in Outer Space. Of course I’ll give a band my full attention once they’ve got a hold of me so I of course immediately had to click play on this new track “Shapeshifting” after receiving it this morning. I dig how the track sort of lulls you in for the first 20-30 seconds of mellow atmosphere, but then blasts off with some driving indie pop with absolutely stellar vocal harmonies. Could they make it 2 for 2 on year end lists? Probably.

This track is part of a new EP entitled Smile While You’re Losing which is due out on September 6th via Nice Swan Records.

Lip Filler Return With followup

Leave a comment

London based group Lip Filler came onto my radar last year with the release of their self-titled EP which featured top song of 2023 “Monster Truck.” This year the band will power in to 2024 with more new music along with some planned summer dates in London, Manchester, and Bristol. Their latest effort, “followup”, is a pure stunner of a single with an electronic, dance theme paired with a killer guitar riff and energetic vocals. I am here for all of this.

Lip Filler will release this song as part of a new EP entitled witchescrew. That’s due out on May 26th via Chess Club Records.

Return Flights Drop Newcomer Single

Leave a comment

Really been looking to dive more into the electronic pop craft this year, which is how I stumbled upon London’s Return Flights. They spend the first minute or so of their latest single driving the beat, waiting for the song to open up and twist into some indie-disco shuffler. Smoky vocals ride atop the groove for a few moments, then that shuffle kicks in, and you find yourself spinning in the happiest, dizziest circle. Layered vocals work to perfection, building both the texture and the hooks that will likely find folks making some New Order comparisons. Never a bad thing in our book here.

Talk Show Drop Red/White

Leave a comment

After a slow burn with a few singles over a couple of years, London based Talk Show really started to make a lot of noise this past year with multiple, straight slamming new singles. As we drive into the new year, the band is full steam ahead with a new album called Effigy due out on February, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the short new year. As anticipation builds for the full length, you should take some time to check out the latest new slammer called “Red/White” below. Get after it lads. If you’re in a giving mood, Talk Show are trying to raise a little money to make it stateside for SXSW in March. You can find their donation page over on IG.

Talk Show’s new album Effigy is available on February 16th via Missing Piece Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Chemtrails Say Join Our Death Cult

Leave a comment

London outfit Chemtrails have opted to leave the lo-fi production work of their early recordings in order to enhance the vibe on their new LP, The Joy of Sects. Their latest single definitely wears a bit of that studio perfection; you can hear it in the way the vocals get get intertwined perfectly creating this little hook that has your head spinning. But, the band still are driving this thumping psychedelia, often times brooding and other moments sputtering into a smashing bash of joy. When it all subsides, there’s this great bit of buzz trailing behind, locking in the band’s ability to hit all sorts of rock n’ roll notes. The Joy of Sects is out via PNK SLM on January 19th.
