Singles That Mingle

A massive dose of deadly singles from our resident expert, Captain Stavros 

False Heads

‘Mime the End’

Sick Moon - Out September 30 on Scruff of the Neck Records

A real nuts and bolts track, reminiscent of Blood Red Shoes hungrier days.

Bloomsday

‘Voicemail’

Place To Land out June 10 via Bayonet Records

A jam with a light touch.

Alice Low

‘Sodomizer’

A funkload of OG riffs on this absolute gem of a jam, it's got that big sword energy you never knew you needed.

Bonnie Trash

‘Teeth’

Single out now via Hand Drawn Dracula

Do, do, a double take on this ghostly identical duo as they cut their teeth on this haunting single.

Clamm

‘Monday’

Care out August 19 via Meat Machine Records

A tune spitting so much heat it'll take your head off and cauterize wound at the same time.

The Soft Moon

‘Him’

Exister out Sept 23 via Sacred Bones

Surf's up dudes! Dark wave surf. The long awaited follow up to 2018’s Criminal is almost here.

CANDY

‘World of Shit’

Out now via Relapse Records

Don't want to miss your stop on the tube? Fire this bad boy on and sleep will be the least of your concerns.

DEUX FURIEUSES

‘Resolute’

Bring Down the Government out now

I’d say it was a well-timed release, but they literally could have released it any time in the last 12 years and it would have been well timed

Ellie Bleach

‘Big Strong Man’

No Elegant Way To Sell Out, Out October 6 on Sad Club Records

Ellie’s new on the scene so you’ll likely not recognize the music when it pipes through your listening device. It’ll be the first time the tunes’ll make you take notice but not the last.

 

Muna Ileiwat

‘Pity Party’

Twenty-Seven out August 19 on FOMO Records

Great summer late nights playlist material.

Tan Cologne

‘Floating Gardens’

Earth Visions of Water Spaces out September 9th on Labrador Records

If a Zephyr transmogrified itself into a song, this would be it.

October and The Eyes

‘Jack Black Must Die’

EP Who Upset You? Out Now on Kro Records

I think the YouTube description said it best, ‘Any comparison to real life people is defintely not coincidental’.

KEG

‘Elephant’

Gerders EP out September 2 Via ALCOPOP! Records

We’ll keep promoting KEG as long as they continue their strange trip down Absurdity Boulevard.

The Paranoyds

‘Lizzie’

TALK TALK TALK Out September 9 via Third Man Records

If America ever decides to dip their big toe into Eurovision, this should be their 2023 submission.

ALASKALASKA

‘Growing Up Pains’

A slow burner from the freshly re-surfaced, and blog favourites ALASKALASKA

Desire

‘Days & Nights’

Escape Out Now via Italians Do It Better

Skip to the 1 minute mark and prepare to appreciate Desire’s consistency.

UV TV

‘Always Something’

We dare you to play The Cult’s - ‘She Sells Sanctuary’ simultaneously alongside ‘Always Something’.


 

Ibibio Sound Machine

‘17 18 19’

Electricity out March 25 on Merge Records

Touring London March 28 Rough Trade East / Electric Ballroom Camden April 14 

The last in a series of charged up singles releasing before the album drop in a few weeks. Ibibio’ll help you thaw your way into spring with the heat they bring.


 

Jesse Mac Cormack

‘NHFN’

SOLO out April 8 – on Secret City Records

Feels like a Thom Yorke inspired track, very Kid A.


 

Panic Shack

‘The Ick’

Baby Shack out April 8 – On Brace Yourself Records 

You put the milk in first? Mate, get a clue. How dare you shoosh me!


 

Bloomsday

‘Phase’

Place To Land out June 8 – Bayonet Records 

A feel good easy breezy ditty, worth a feel good warm and fuzzy listen.

 

 

Erasers

‘A Breeze’

Constant Connection out April 8 – on Night School Records 

Another quality slow burner.


 

Bodega

‘Pillar on the Bridge of Yourself’

Broken Equipment out now – on What’s Your Rapture?

Touring now across the UK 

If you like what you hear, and we do, Bodega are playing a slew of dates around the end of the month in London town.


 

Sprints

‘Delia Smith’

Modern Job out now on Nice Swan Records 

Sprints tackle the age-old question, ‘who wants to be special anyway?’.  Track feels like a nod to Blood Red Shoes’ roots, if you dig that you’ll dig this.
