Music

SONG PICK: Flashes - Paintbrush

What starts out as beautifully flowing strokes of sound with a distinct urgency to it, develops into something wild and grunge and equally awesome. One can take “Paintbrush” by British five-piece Flashes quite literally, because comparisons with paintings on canvas come to mind: first tentative, exploring, testing the waters and

SONG PICK: Soft Fangs - Elephant Girl

It would be easy to quickly write off “Elephant Girl” as ‘low-fi’ or ‘garage’ and move on but this also would mean to miss out on something surprisingly fragile and insanely beautiful lingering under the rougher, outer shell. “Elephant Girl” is the new single by Brooklyn-based dark pop/alt-folk artist

Music

SONG PICK: Anna Tosh - Weightless

“Weightless” about a dream, about the feeling of drifting underwater into an unreal world. Musically however, the new song by London singer, songwriter and guitarist Anna Tosh stays grounded in solid rock. A relaxed beat and bass line drives the song forward and here and there Anna flashes her guitar

Bryony Parker, who records just under her last name Parker moved from Australia to London to make music and her new song is about the “Runs and Rides” she took as a teenager back home. Pleasant memories for her, I suppose, but for a 21-year old she packs an astonishingly

SONG PICK: Space4Lease - Must Be Something

Like the bubbles in a java lamp, everything seems to organically flow and build upon each other in the ultra gorgeous “Must Be Something” by Oklahoma City based quartet Space4Lease. This is what guitar driven indie pop with dreamy, psychedelic influences sounds like these days. Listen to “Must Be Something”

Music

SONG PICK: Zola Jesus - Exhumed

Zola Jesus is back! Her new track “Exhumed” indicates that she turns again towards a darker place for her music. There is still the big orchestral sound of her last album Taiga, but not only her oil-covered face on the new artwork reminds me of “Stridulum”, one of her first

Music

SONG PREMIERE: Henry Bateman - Received in Me

Listening to “Received in Me” for the first time, what instantly fascinates are the gorgeous melody, the rich vocals and the overall optimistic vibe, yet there is a depth in the lyrics, that asks for further exploration.

SONG PICK: Slowlights - Overgrown

Who ever pays attention to an artist’s Facebook ABOUT page, particularly the “Artists We Also Like Part”? Well, Slowlights definitely got me with their EP “I Try So Hard” but sealed the deal with mentioning ‘Rod Stewart’… that’s rather… unusual and so cool because… that story is way

SONG PICK: From Apes to Angels - Gift Tag

From Apes To Angels is a synth pop duo from England who name a slew of exciting electro-pop acts of the last few decades as their inspiration and I would add Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and Ladytron to the list. But their latest track “Gift Tag” stands well on
