Weyes Blood – Movies
Sultry, whining sci-fi sounds of dystopian discontent drones in the background, the opening lyrics, “this is how it feels to be in love, this is life from above, there’s no books anymore”. The intense relationship between the sound and the lyrics is fantastic. Haunting yet euphoric, devilishly angelic, ‘Movies’ is a poetic tale of technologies control over mankind, the allure of the big screen. Fans of the Stranger Things soundtrack will adore this.
Honeyblood – Glimmer
Stomping, driving, marauding forward. Booming bass lines bomb on but a certain tinge of pop, the catchy riff and friendly vocal delivery see the song get stuck in your head. Stina Tweeddale’s vocal is like a warm hot chocolate. So friendly, inviting, smooth and creamy, an absolute delicacy. Enjoy it.
Sophie and the Giants – The Light
Fans of Florence and the Machine will utterly adore this band and this song. Slow, poised verses emerge into a colossal, triumphant chorus. Rise up.
Bakar – Dracula
Merging ingredients from alt-rock and hip hop, Bakar is quite simply just getting better and better. This new one from him is a bop. He’s dreaming big this boy.
Tame Impala – Patience
They. Are. Back. It’s a tropical paradise of psychedelic synth, a tale of nostalgia, an absolute dream. But you probably already knew that.
