Of the song, she says that …

Premiere: Nick Kingswell releases the shimmering double singles ‘Deep Blue’ and ‘Money in the Bank’
We are honoured to premiere a double single release from Australian expat living in the UK, Nick Kingswell. Both tracks put on display Kingswell’s delicate and reflective vocals as well as his melodic ear: gentle folk-tinged tracks that offer an immersive pool of sonic tranquility. ‘Deep Blue’ – nominally the ‘A’ side – is a …
Premiere: Italian post-punks Edna Frau release new video for Angry Face Man; See it here, first
Edna Frau is essentially the side project of Postvorta’s Andrea Fioravanti, but rather than the extreme sounds of that band, he runs down a more catchy, post-punk avenue. The outfit, which includes Vincenzo ‘Vins’ Baruzzi of The Doormen and Annihilator drummer Fabio Alessandrini, have recently released their debut album ‘My Ego is Bigger Than Yours’ …
PREMIERE: Field Guide wants to ‘Make Peace With That’, shares loved-up new song ‘Me & You’
Sometimes you uproot your life right before a global pandemic, which is to say that it was incredibly unfortunate timing for Canadian Dylan MacDonald when he did that early last year, moving to Toronto where it rapidly became clear that his only option was to focus on writing music – it was a fraught but …
PREMIERE: Rubber Band Gun puts it all on black in video for freewheeling new track ‘My Time’, announces new album for November
If you know New Jersey workhorse Kevin Basko, then you know he doesn’t do things by halves. He’s spent much of the previous decade as the main creative force behind Rubber Band Gun, and put out a fully-fledged album pretty much fortnightly under this name in 2019. All 25 of those records are on his …

Premiere: Aphra unveils an effervescent and buoyant track ‘Tide In Tide Out’ in advance of EP ‘Sticky Toffee Pudding’
We are very pleased to premiere the new track ‘Tide In Tide Out’ from Aphra. ‘Tide In Tide Out’ is a bright and effervescent track that has a folkish tinge and an aquatic, seaside feel about it – lapping waves and seagulls sounds give way to a bright pace and a muscular pop melody. The …
PREMIERE: Karaboudjan shares the powerful ‘Falling Forwards’, preps debut EP for September
He’s been part of a number of bands including the live setup for Tycho, but Billy Kim has only recently started to embark on a musical venture of his own.

PREMIERE: Moira Smiley shares captivating collaborative performance video of ‘Silverlake’
In February, the Vermont-based Moira Smiley released her most recent album In Our Voices, her attempt to reconnect with the world of a capella singing from which she came – regularly performing with VOCO, their plans for a tour of the US in early 2020 were scuppered for obvious reasons. Unable to perform live for …
