Singles That Mingle

 With Captain Stavros

 

 

Bon Iver – Everything is Peaceful Love

 Sable Fable Out April 11 Via Jagjagwar

This one’s hard to pin down, bit like popping rocks in your mouth. Worth a listen, unpack something new each spin.

 

 

LA Witch – 777

DogGod Out April 4 Via Suicide Squeeze Records

Anemic fuzz for the win.

 

Joni – Things I Left Behind

Things I Left Behind Out April 11 Via Hand In Hive/Keeled Sales

A fast and furious finger picking good time tune.

 

Lust for Youth & Croatian Amor – Kokiri

All Worlds Out March 7 Via Sacred Bones

Didn’t grab us at first but got lost in browser tabs and wormed its way in, give it a whirl.

 

Bnny – Love Trap

One Million Love Songs Out Now Via Fire Talk

We defo got snapped up in that trap.

 

Clara Mann – Doubled Over

Rift Out March 7 Via State51

An unhurried and fully formed track.

 

CoCoRosie - Yesterday

Little Death Wishes Out April 28 Via Joyful Noise

I remember yesterday like it was just yesterday, crackin’ lyrics.

 

Bonnie Trash - Haunt Me (What Have You Become?)

Mourning You Out now Via Hand Drawn Dracula

This dark beat make our heart beat.

 

Tindersticks - Soft Tissue

Can you imagine this absolutely sound track never being released? Killer cut.

 

 

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.
