Track: Drew Smith – ‘Whose News’ feat. Isla Craig: the Toronto scene brings us another gem of blissful, ambient synthpop-triphop
BESIDES his other bow-strings playing in Toronto power-poppers Bunny and the heart-hookin’ bubblegum fun of The Bicycles, Toronto’s Drew Smith also fashions a lovely ambient synthpop under his birth name: dreamy, fun, blissful, and very much of an effect with Montreal’s Afternoon Bike Ride. It’s sorta candyfloss brittle and ice-melt pure and futuristic and just …

The song keeps that rave squelch and …

Track: Lizzie Loveless captures the moment when the rift becomes all too real in ‘Window’; her autumn album’s now up for pre-order

See: Sugarstone – ‘Angel Boy’: Mancunian new wave of new ravers break out the synth colours
Y’KNOW one thing that’s missing from our lives – I know, I know, a zillion things, right, but: technicolour. Really eye-poppingly bright colour, cerise and sunset yellow and tangerine and electric blue, glowing, searing – and I mean in a sonic form, too. It’s gotta be a good thing, then, that Manchester’s new wave of …
