Singles That Mingle

With Captain Stavros

 

The Rhythm Method – I Love My Television

Peachy Out March 8 Via Moshi Moshi records

Can’t listen, TV now.

 

Sprints – Heavy

Letter To Self Out Now Via City Slang Records

Anxiety inducing, what a rush.

 

Slift – Weaver’s Weft

Ilion Out Now Via Sub Pop Records

Settle in, it’s a long one. French psyche making some moves.

 

Jozef Van Wissem – With Our Hands Our Hearts To Raise

The Night Dwells In The Day Out Now Via Incunabulum Records

Sounds like something that would’ve been in a Sergio Corbucci film.

 

Dermabraison – Magic Missile

Pain Behaviour Out Froday Via Hand Drawn Dracula Records

A bit monotonous but a perfect song to facilitate bad behaviour in our opinion.

 

Beans – Calling

Boots N Cats Out March 1 Via Fuzz Club Records

Enjoying the brass on this track.

 

Waxahatchee – Right Back To It

Tigers Blood Out March 22 Via Anti-Records

That lulling banjo and the tune’s pace is a great way to watch the sky melt before you.

 

C Turtle – Shake It Down

Expensive Thrills Out March 8 Via Blitzcat Records

Grungy, reminds me of the mid 90s jams from yesteryear.

 

Serpentwithfeet – Safe Word

How can a song be complex and minimal at the same time?

 

Ellie Bleach – Whole Lotta Nothing

Now Leaving West Feldwood Out March 28 Via Sad Club Records

Consistently solid work from Ellie.

Happy Satuday everyone! The ever-reliable Captain Stavros has sifted through the new releases to bring you the best tunes around right now.

UV TV

‘Always Something’

Out Now – Papercup Music

Live @ The Victoria in Dalston on 5.4.22

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.
