Singles That Mingle
By Captain Stavros
His Lordship
‘All Cranked Up’
Out now via Psychonaught Records
Does what it says on the tin, two-piece rock outfit touring this April.
IST IST
‘Nothing More Nothing Less’
Protagonists out March 31
Can you imagine if bands could give birth to baby bands? IST IST would be an early ‘00s child of Interpol in that case.
Angelica Rockne
‘White Cadillac’
The Rose Society out May 5 via Loose Records
Angelica’s music sounds like warm coffee in a conservative on a slow morning.
Fazerdaze
‘Flood Into’
Break! out now via Section 1 Records
Another slowburn masterpiece
SQÜRL
‘Berlin 87’
Silver Haze out May 5 via Sacred Bones Records
I’m somehow hooked to this track that sounds like it’s lost the will to live.
Blondshell
‘Disappointment’
Blondshell out April 7 via Partisan Records
Full disclosure, didn’t take at first. Got distracted and opened up another tab for a few minutes while it played in the background, it stuck.
Barrie
‘Empty’
5K out March 31 via Winspear Records
Never fails to hit the mark.
London Brew
‘Raven Flies Low’
Brew out March 31 via Concord Jazz Records
Great textures and flow.
Kate Davis
‘Long Long Long’
Fish Bowl out March 21 Via Anti
A really inviting tune.
Alice Low
‘Fruitcake’
Transatlantic Sugar out April 21
A great tune for the Headwig II OST with Bowie undertones.
The Reds, Pinks & Purples
‘The Town That Cursed Your Name’
Tough Love out March 21
Inoffensive tunes for when your parents are over.
Westerman
‘Take’
An Inbuilt Fault out May 5 via Partisan Records
New to our ears but hummingly appealing.
The Murlocs
‘Initiative’
Calm Ya Farm out May 19 via ATO Records
Best song you could ask for to wake up to.
Bully
‘Days Move Slow’
Lucky For You out June 2 via Sub Pop Records
It’s got that sound that Hole sorta had, ‘90s vibes.
Geese
‘3D Country’
3D Country out June 23 via Partisan Records
This smooth track by Geese is migrating your way.
Lea Sen
‘Luv Him (About U)’
You of Now PT 2 out April 21 Via Partisan Records
Honestly, I was distracted while previewing but it demanded my attention and got it.
Aluna & Tsha
‘Killing Me’
Not usually our format but you can’t knock a banger, killing me? More like killing it.
Autobahn
‘Silver’
Ecstasy of Ruin out April 28 via Tough Love Records
This track, like the band's namesake, is limitless.
Egyptian Blue
‘Geisha’
This is our first introduction to Egyptian Blue, and a favourable one at that. Check ‘em out at the Oslo next week if you’re about.
Moor Mother
‘We Got The Jazz’
Jazz Codes Deluxe out May 19 via Anti- Records
A mashup of styles and lyrics that hold their own.
Fidlar
‘On Drugs’
That’s Life out now via Wichita Recordings
Great hook.
