Track: Paves – Take me while I’m here
London quartet Paves follow last Novembers debut single ‘Til the end of time’, with a new track ‘Take me while I’m here’. Taking at least a little bit from the likes Blossoms but mixing it in with a good dose of good time blues rock, the band do a neat line in lovable ruffian like …
Track: Deep Sea Diver – Creatures of Comfort
Creatures of Comfort, the new single from former Shins guitarist Jeqssica Dobsons new band Deep Sea Diver, comes from their forthcoming album Secrets, out February 19th on the High Beam label. It has this rather lovely listlessness about it, these little synths flourishes and picked guitar chords contrasting the melancholy of the melody. It ebbs …
Track: Cullen Omori – Cinnamon
By Ryan Jameson Weaver Not many people know this, but Smith Westerns were an incredibly special band. They crafted delectable teenage gospel in a way that was almost purposefully harking back to their past but proud and boastful enough that it lived on its own. They were snotty Chicago kids encapsulating the hype machine of …
Track: Field Music – Disappointed
Sunderland avant rockers Field Music first heralded their forthcoming album Commontime before Christmas in the shape of The Noisey Days Are Over. If that vibrant slice of progressive indie pop wasn’t enough to tickle your musical taste buds, they’ve followed it up with the equally brilliant Disappointed.

Track: Sea Pinks – Yr Horoscope
Taken from their second full lengther, Soft Days, which is out at the end of the week, Yr Horoscope is the latest single from Belfast three piece Sea Pinks. Although it might be a new name to you (well, it was to us) its members have form between so them – Neil Brogan is ex …
Track: Tall Poppies – Cat Got Your Tongue
Cat got your tongue is the new single from London indie pop quartet Tall Poppies. The band, fronted by identical twins Susan and Catherine who also contribute bass and guitar, and joined by Diarmuid on Violin and Doug on drums, make this kind of wonky, almost Dexy’s like soul indie, at least judging from their …
Track: Mood Robot – Drip
By Ryan Jameson Weaver Los Angeles synth-pop trio Mood Robot (Jenny Helms, Alex Kazenoff, Ben Kazenoff), have been steadily releasing a sleek catalog of one-off velvet gems for the past year or so with each release giving us more awareness to their acuity of making PBR&B saccharine cuts. Their newest single, Drip, furthers this testament …
Track: Forced Random – Go Get It
By Ryan Jameson Weaver Go Get It, the latest track from Forced Random, is a paramount of tantalizing proportions. It is an anthemic cut that will pull at your heartstrings with its introspective guise and bring you up with its upward mobility. The slow, thrashing, wall of noise unfolds in front of you like dominoes …
