As ever, all the tracks that make it onto the playlist are aces in my book but if I absolutely, positively had to pick no more than five to check out this week, it’d be these.
If you’re looking for new albums, all the new long-players I’ve spotted from emerging, independent, and DIY artists are here
SINGLE
The Belair Lip Bombs – Hey You
While it drives and pounds, ‘Hey You’ also glitters and shines like sunlight on chrome, unyielding at its core but lit up with the lightest of touches.
TAKEN FROM THE ALBUM ‘ANY DAY NOW‘
Garage Sale – Kick It
Warm and relaxingly frothy from the opening, the Pavement-y notes wash over you in a delicious wave of smart slacker foam.
SINGLE
PEPTALK – Pretty Colours (feat. Huck Hastings)
PEPTALK’s impeccable run of collabs continues, this time combining forces with Huck Hastings to create a delicate pop gem chock full of bounce and feeling.
SINGLE
Full Flower Moon Band – Harder Man (feat. Nicholas Allbrook)
Sharp enough to skin you raw, FFMB – along with Nicholas Allbrook – are back to stomp confidently right into hell’s disco and make it their domain.
SINGLE
The Tullamarines – Idiot
While remaining a lament for the passage of time and the damage it can wreak on friendships, The Tullamarines still manage to wrap it up in their signature giddy hooks to help the medicine go down.
