Sam Palladio is back with a fresh single called “Burberry Jacket,” and it hits a cool, dark groove right away. Anchored around London’s historic Fleet Street with a subtle nod to Sweeney Todd, the track crafts an eerie, mysterious mood that instantly grabs your attention, and the rhythm section drives the whole thing forward with …
“You Deserve Better Than Me” by Reetoxa
I put on “You Deserve Better Than Me” earlier, and it ended up sticking with me. Reetoxa is the project of Melbourne artist Jason McKee, and this track drops the heavy production to focus on a single awkward moment. “You Deserve Better Than Me” is my favorite of this week. The backstory is pretty relatable. …
“The Tide” by Noella Rain
Noella Rain has a really quiet way of getting your attention, and her single “The Tide” proves it. Recorded at Blue House Productions alongside producer Jeff Gruber, the track lands in a sweet spot where simple piano lines do all the heavy lifting. The song came together on a Steinway piano during studio downtime, and …
“phan thiet” by Kiey
Kiey’s new single “phan thiet” landed on my radar last week, and it has been playing on loop ever since. The Ho Chi Minh City artist usually drops English tracks , so picking a simple Vietnamese name for this release felt like a refreshing shift. The track blends airy dream pop melodies with a smooth …
“terms & conditions” by cooper mae
Cooper Mae has a knack for turning annoying dating situations into songs you want to play in your car with the windows rolled down. Her track “terms & conditions” hits a great sweet spot of witty pop lyrics and a clean rhythm that stays stuck in your head all afternoon. The chorus landed right away …
“Definition” by Elysian Fields
When a local album re-appears after years, I’m often skeptical. I’m glad I listened to Elysian Fields’ 1995 release, ‘Definition’, because it’s a solid collection of indie pop-rock. If you enjoy finding forgotten bands from the era, this is a fun listen. What is impressive is Kerri Murray’s powerful, expressive vocals, which hold the whole …
“Down The West Coast” by Moon Construction Kit
“Down The West Coast” is the kind of track that hits right when you need a summer breather. Olivier Cornu, the Lausanne-based mind behind Moon Construction Kit , really hit the sweet spot here. It feels like taking a calm, sunny drive along the ocean with the windows rolled all the way down. The song …
“When The Honeymoon Is Over” by Prem Byrne
Prem Byrne’s new single hit my headphones this week, and it’s been stuck on repeat ever since. The track dives into that awkward wall you hit after the initial spark of a relationship fades and rather than blame the other person, Byrne turns the mirror on himself. He looks back at a past relationship to …
“Passing Craze” by Tom Emlyn
Tom Emlyn has delivered something genuinely refreshing with his sixth album, Passing Craze, out on Dirty Carrot Records. The Swansea singer-songwriter started these tracks as part of a university project with producer Evan Collett, and you can really feel that relaxed, hands-on energy across every song. The whole record has a warm, tactile charm that …
“High Noon” by Moon and Aries
Moon and Aries drop another track that hits the spot, and “High Noon” shows off what makes this transatlantic project work so well. Jordana Moon sits in Canada while Tom Aries works out of Germany, yet their music feels as tightly knitted as two people sharing a studio desk. The arrangement sets up an easygoing …
“Don’t Waste My Time (LA mix)” by 4fro Nick
A track landed on my radar last week by an artist named 4fro Nick, and it has been stuck in my head ever since. The track is called “Don’t Waste My Time (LA mix)”, and it hits with a level of raw, clear energy that feels really fresh right now. The groove blends classic indie …
“Hope and Need” by Ray Gibbz
I went in expecting a typical bedroom-studio rap single and ended up running it back twice before I even got to the write-up, Ray Gibbz did everything himself on this one, wrote it, produced it, built the beat, and you can hear that control in how tight the whole track sits. The song is about …
“Personal Martyr” by Skar de Line
Okay, this one snuck up on me. “Personal Martyr” starts so quiet I almost skipped past it on my playlist, then that chorus comes in and I had to stop what I was doing. There’s a trance-y pulse running through the whole thing, but it’s got real strings and percussion under it too, so it …
