Ahead of a handful of dates supporting Montaigne on tour, Sydney singer-songwriter Sophie Lowe has released another song taken from her upcoming EP, out in November.

Track: Hot As Sun – I can feel your love
LA based songwriter Jamie Jackson, aka Hot As Sun is back with another dose of her 80s laced synth-pop in the form of a new single, I Can Feel Your Love, taken from her upcoming EP ‘Little Friend’.

Track: Over Sands – Hounds
Hounds, the new single from London brothers Over Sands, belies the fact it was recorded in a World War II bunker, instead giving the impression with its rippling beats, chiming synths and glittering guitar work that it was somewhere hot, overlooking the sea, probably with easy access to a balcony. It’s a follow on from …

Track: Abby – Hexagon
Hexagon is the second album from the German four-piece band Abby, here we see Abby venture into a more electronic spectrum throughout the album, a departure from their Indie Pop labeling which sees them more than comfortable in their new surroundings.

Track: JATA – Ebony
If you’ve not yet wrapped your ears round Berlin-based producer Jata, you’re in for a treat. The former hip-hop DJ and University Jazz student showed he had a knack of writing elector earworms with his last EP, Bells, and from his new one, the slightly unimaginatively titled Bells 2 EP, he’s released ‘Ebony’. The track …
