Artists: CUTTY
Who: Indie rock-pop
tandem from Hull, UK.

Track: ONE SHOT
2nd single from their upcoming
debut EP, titled Pump Funk.

“‘One Shot’ is us doing what we love most. Mixing moody indie with synthy electronic feels. Imagine Metronomy, Spill Tab, and MGMT having a drink a studio and seeing what happens.”

TUTV: Only their 2nd single, but it’s clear that Cutty is here to stay. One Shot is a groovy jam that satisfies your avid ears on the spot. You can hum, sing or whistle along until the shaky finale sets in. The repeat button was invented for sickly sticky tunes like this. Bullseye.

Artist: KENTUCKY
Who: The musical project of Canadian singer-songwriter Jordan Holman.
His songs, a quicksilver blend of acoustic rock, indie folk, and subtle ’90s alternative
glow, carry stories shaped by extremes: from near-death hushes to the hard-won
hope of second chances.

Track: THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE

The song marks a shift in tone for Kentucky, offering a clear-eyed, quietly triumphant reflection on renewal after pain. With its steady acoustic build and gentle optimism, it feels
like the emotional breakthrough following a long internal storm.

TUTV: Hail hail Rock ‘n’ Roll! Kentucky keeps it simple with this irresistible, straightforward steamroller. Foot on the gas, incessant riffage and feeling-good vocals. Amidst all the chaos that plagues our planet, a hopeful booster like this is very welcome.

I Am Kentucky

JUKEBOX 2025 – Week 12 – Five New Rad Tracks Added Twice A Week

In order to not miss a beat TURN UP THE VOLUME scans the musical
horizon daily, for 10 years now, to pick ace tracks and add 5 new ones
twice per week, to the one and only JUKEBOX playlist that matters.

TRACK BY TRACK

Artist: PATRICK WOLF
Who: Expressive English singer-songwriter
from South London.

Track: LIMBO
Piece from his upcoming, 7th album,
called Crying The Neck. Out June 13th.

The song features wonderful American songstress Zola Jesus.

Wolf: “I have adored Zola’s work since her first ‘Stridulum’ album and we have been pen friends since 2011. As I finished writing the song here by the quiet of the sea and seeing pictures of her own wilderness of woodland where she lives now in Wisconsin, I felt we were aligned somewhat in spirit at this point of our work. It was only her voice I imagined to duet with me and now I can’t imagine anyone else riding shotgun beside me on this our summer gothic road trip of a song.”

Entrancingly vocal, and melodic grandeur.

Artists: CUTTY
Who: Indie rock-pop
tandem from Hull, UK.

Track: AIN’T TALKIN

The song explores the feeling of detachment and defiance against meaningless chatter.
It’s a self-reflective track about choosing silence over the noise around us, embarking
on a journey to discover true connections while piecing together our own truths.

Top-tier rock ‘n’ rolling stomper, funky as hell and groovin’ and movin’ with
gutsy gusto and vivid verve and fueled with an unexpected transition to
a break-beat finale.

Striking stroke.

Artist: BEN KEY
Who: Singer-songwriter blending groove-heavy rhythms, soulful vocals, and ambient synths, bridging vintage grit with modern electronic textures. Debuting singer-songwriter from Toronto, Ontario. He was co-founder of Canadian band New West.

Track: JAMES DEAN
Solo debut.

“I wanted the song to carry that same sense of passion, defiance, and nostalgia, like
a scene straight out of an old movie where love is reckless, raw, and all-consuming.”

A tireless drum beat throbs non-stop and motorizes this sonic upper all the way through. The iconic rebel without a cause James Dean inspired Key for this rousing rocker. Infectious, resolute, irrepressible and juiced with perfervid vocals.

they dropped in 2016 following lots of criticism related
to the Vietnam War.

Track: BASTARDS
New single from their upcoming 5th LP,
titled III At Ease. Out on May 9th.

Never heard Preoccupations this synth-poppy
and it works 100%. Kicky knockout.

Band: THE GODS THEY MADE
Who: Indie rockers from Geneva, Switzerland.
They released their debut album Breathe In
last year.

Track: ANYTHING YOU WANT

“A haunting exploration of identity and authenticity, beyond the masks we wear
in daily life. The song carves out its own space as a standout indie alt-rock track
with subtle pop accents.”

Riveting from the get-go. Indie guitar-pop opulence for your eager ears spiced with
peachy and crystalline, harmonious vocals, sparkling guitar play and a splendiferous chorus. Stellar stuff.
