Singles That Mingle
With Captain Stavros
Hey there Gang, been a minute, hasn’t it? Let’s ease right back into the swing of things with the latest(ish) Singles That Mingle, shall we?
Clara Mann – Driving Home The Long Way
Riff Out March 7 Via State51
Driving home the long way with my parents and no air-conditioning in the car is perhaps one of my worst childhood memories. What isn’t grating though is Clara’s voice which really shines through as the track highlight.
Youth Lagoon – Speed Freak
Rarely Do I Dream Out February 21 Via Fat Possum
A fuzzy delight. Grounded in a bit of a grungy 90s bob there are vestiges into the future laid within the track as well.
Spelling – Portrait of My Heart
Portrait of My Heart Out March 28 Via Sacred Bones
Propulsive drum tune, great for ramping up your anxiety whilst running late and simultaneously looking for your keys.
Edvard Graham Lewis – Switch
Alreet Out Now Via Upp Records
A loose and limber tune with echoing vocals to unwind to.
Florist – Have Heaven
Jellywish Out April 4 Double Double Whammy
A warm and inviting track that gently tugs you towards it.
Bria Salemena – Stretch the Struggle
Big Dog Out March 28 Via Sub Pop
Slow build pop but the vocals hang a little heavier than anticipated, what’re they hiding?
Sam Akpro – Evenfall
Evenfall Out March 28 Via Anti-
A slightly morose and wavy tune, heavy on the grunge factor. Solid debut which’s got our interest.
Cocorosie – Cut Sitch Scar
Little Death Wishes Out March 28 Via Joy Noise Recording
A blip bloppy tune that destroys and rebuilds itself nicely.
Bonnie Trash – Hellmouth
Mourning You Out February 28 Via Hand Drawn Dracula
Their thrashy downstroked guitars never get old IOO and supplement the vocals nicely.
MIEN – Evil People
MIIEN Out April 18 Via Fuzz Club Records
Full disclosure popped the tune on because of the title, stuck around for the undertones of psych though.
