Singles That Mingle

 With Captain Stavros

 

Danny & The Champions of the World – I’m In Love

You Are Not a Stranger Out October 18 Via Loose

 Mellow Dad rock, and there ain’t nothin’ wrong wit-it.

 

Eterna – Perfect Comms

 Well formed, hitting the ground strolling. They’ll be at Pitchfork Music Festival if you fancy their sound.

 

 

Dawn Richard and Spencer Zahn – Traditions

Quiet in a World Full of Noise Out October 4 Via Merger Records

A chill one to unwind to or reflect with.

 

Total Tommy – Real

A bit poppy for our tastes but sorta infectious at the same time.

 

Fucked Up – Another Day

This song is primarily about cannabis and as such puts its thumb on the scale of publicity tipping said scale.

 

Caleb Landry Jones – Hey Gary

Hey Gary, Hey Dawn Digital Deluxe Out September 13 Via Sacred Bones Records

Great vocal/music matchup. Short and sweet too.

 

DoFlame – Fastlanes

Bent Out October 14 Via Blue Grape Music

Kinda has that late ‘90s Linkin Park/Billy Talent/Limp Bizkit thing going on.

 

Tindersticks – Always a Stranger

 Soft Tissue Out September 13 Via City Slang

Moody and beautiful.

 

Tycho – Green

 Infinite Health Out Now Via Ninja Tunes

 Not a fan of the live show we caught few years back but the video is mesmerising and the song is seductively captivating. Credit where credit is due.

 

 

J.R.C.G. – Cholla Beat

Grim Iconic Sadistic Mantra Out Now Via SubPop

Another solidly constructed and listenable tune by J.R.C.G.

 

 Nice Biscuit – Fade Away

 SOS Out October 4 Via Bad Vibrations

 Another solid rambler from crumbmakers.

 

 

Molchat Doma - Belaya Polosa

Belaya Polosa Out September 6 Via Sacred Bones

The boys keep levelling up with each album release and really push out of their comfort zones, well impressed by this title track.

 

 

Lunar Vacation – Tom

Everything’s Fire Out September 13 Via Keeled Scales

 A pleasant and all too cruisey tune.

 

 

Desire – I Know

 Games People Play Out October 2 Via Italians Do It Better

We know you’re gonna love this one.

 

Geneva Jacuzzi – Laps of Luxury

Triple Fire Out Now Via Dais Records

If you don’t like this straight out the gate never come back to this blog.

 

 

 

Singles That Mingle

With Captain Stavros

 

 

Common & Pete Rock – Fortunate

The Auditorium Vol. 1 Out Now Via Loma Vista Recordings

Consistent throughout each release.

 

Molchat Doma – Ty Zhe Ne Znaesh Kto Ya

Beya Polosa Out September 6 Via Sacred Bones

The very essence of this track is unpredictability.

 

Curses – Another Heaven

Fun digital samples from the '80s and solid rhythms.

 

Crystabelle & David Lynch – The Answer To The Questions

Cellophane Memories Out August 2 Via Sacred Bones

Not gunna lie, really really slow, but sink into it it’s worth it.

 

Geneva Jacuzzi – Scene Balllerina

Triple Fire Out August 23 Via Dais Records

So much electric goodness, we’d totally get strapped to the chair and ride the lightning if GJ was the juice.

 

Party Dozen – Money & the Drugs

Crime in Australia Out September 6 Via Temporary Residence

Our favourite stand out track on the list this time around. This is what Bass Drum of Death used to sound like and what we thought they would’ve involved into.

 

Porridge Radio – Sick of the Blues

Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me Out October 18 Via Secretly Canadian

Pick yourself up by your boot straps already!

 

Julia Sophie – Wishful Thinking

Out Now Via Da Bing Records

JS’ wispy vocals encompass a vulnerability shared by the lyrics but are ultimately fortified by solid beats.
