Back in August London-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Oscar Browne announced his debut EP If Only, which is set for release on October 20 via So Young Records.
He has already shared “Somebody Else” & “Cut Me Off”, and now we are getting one more preview, “All or Nothing”. It’s another special offering from the talented artist, with his unique touch on indie folk and captivating storytelling ability. The single is out with the playful music video, directed by Ella Margolin.
If you like your punk rock noisy, take notice of test plan, a new London trio who are sharing their debut single “So Bored at Your Squat Rave” today.
Musicians are marrying their visceral and raw energy with the danceable grooves, creating a sound that is both chaotic and rhythmic, assaulting and captivating.
Lyrically, the track weaves a dark concoction of dissatisfaction and paranoia, as drummer/vocalist Max Mason explains: “This song explores a character angry at the environment around them, the people, the drugs and how they feel. The ‘Squat Rave’ serves as a metaphorical vessel in the lyrics as a means for the character to direct their fear and anger”.
Having teased us already with the single “Easy Keepers”, Tokyo-based Australian artist Tex Crick unleashes another great cut “Barefoot Blues”. It is taken from his forthcoming new album Sweet Dreamin’ due out October 13 on Mac’s Record Label.
The song derives its appeal from its stripped-down arrangement and Tex Crick’s heartfelt delivery, which makes it an ultra-smooth and enjoyable earworm.
The upcoming debut by avant-folk nine-piece Bishopskin is shaping up to be something really special and unlike anything we heard before. They already have shared a couple ofamazing songs, and now we get the final album teaser, a groovy “Mother’s Steel Bike”.
The single would be a part of Babble, which is set for release on October 13 via Isolar Records and was written in collaboration with band clarinettist (and qualified priest) Tati Gutteridge (who also shares lead vocal duties). Detailing the halcyon memories that informed the track’s meaning, band frontman Tiger Nicholson explains:
“Before I was old enough to go to school my mother would have to cycle me in to drop two of my elder sisters off – I on the front of her bike and my twin sister on the back. As is common with early memories, they are often made by an unconscious blending of one’s own young memories, and the colours of our beloved ones’ memories. I conjure up a smaller, snot-nosed me, singing nonsense into the wind. My mother would say I’d sing this way a lot before I could talk”.
Exciting new artist Re Teu (pronounced Ree-Too) debuted with stellar “Glas” back in July, and now he is announcing his debut EP The Author for October 20 + shares the title track from it.
It is a delicate but at the same time quite powerful and deeply affecting song that showcases Re Teu’s incredible songwriting and vocal talents and also his ability to mix the genres.
On the new single, he says “This song encapsulates the feeling of release and surrender, embodying complete acceptance. We’ve become unfamiliar entities, characters within a tale, where you and I hold the quill as co-authors of our narrative”.
