Singles That Mingle
Sun’s Signature – BlueDusk
Sun’s Signature Out August 25 Via Partisan Records
The opening borrows from John Carpenter but takes an upward trajectory of its own volition.
Blur – St Charles Square
The Ballad of Darren Out July 21
Not sure who these blokes are but we reckon they’re onto something.
Alex Nicol – Hollywood
Been A Long Year Out Now
These ghostly sounds are compounded by Thom Yorke esq vocals.
MADMADMAD -Totes Amazeballs
Behavioural Sink Delirium Out July 21 Via Bad Vibrations
It builds to a foot stomping zenith.
McKowski – Lake
Notes From The Boneyard Out September Via Deltasonic Records
Sounds like a great lil medley to put behind a cautionary tale by the fire.
Aluna – Running Blind
MYCELiUM Out Now Via Mad Decent and Because Music
Throwback to those late ‘80s/ early ‘90s jams.
Pigeon Wigs – Iron Dynomite
Rock By Numbers Out Now Via CLWB Music
New to Pigeon Wigs, we’re already pretty smitten with this steady stream of singles hitting all the right notes.

Hollow Out September 8
Like taking a drive through a wasteland, you can’t help staring and letting your mind drift.
Maple Glider – Dinah
I Get Into Trouble Out October 13 Via Partisan Records
2 Sold out gigs by July for September, if this single’s anything to go by believe the hype.
La Force – October
XO Skeleton Out September 29 Via Secret City Records
A light and airy tune with some floaty sax notes folded in.

Dim Dwywaith Out October 27 Via CLWB Music
Cardiff keeps spewing out the talent so listen up, even if the lyrics are indecipherable.
Cherry Glazerr – Soft Like A Flower
I Don’t Want You Anymore Out September 29 Via Secretly Canadian
Same great vocals but with a grungier sound, not too shabby.
The Drums – Better
Jonny Out October 13 Via Anti- Records
A sweet tune the likes of which made us fall in love with The Drums in the first place.
Drab Majesty – The Skin and the Glove
Object in Motion Out August 25 Via Dais Records
90s throwback, catching some Dandy Warhols inspiration? Whatever it is, we dig it.
My Ugly Clementine – Would Do It Again
The Good Life Out August 10 Via BMG
Leading up to the album release we’ve tasted a wide range of singles but solid consistency in listenability.
Crystal Fighters – Manifest
This hooked us in the first 3 seconds, first new music in 4 years and hit the mark straight out the gate.
