TRACK BY TRACK

Artist: SUKIE SMITH
Who: Artist from London who has collaborated widely with artists, musicians and writers creating cross-disciplinary sonic work, exhibiting and performing internationally. She has released three critically acclaimed albums with her band MADAM and toured throughout the UK and Europe.

New track: INTO THE LIGHT
Piece from her upcoming 4th album, named ‘The Glass Dress and a Ringing Bell’
and will land on 8 March via Sukie Smith’s own label Shillingboy Records.

A song about leaving a turbulent relationship Smith found herself trapped in during lockdown, as Smith succinctly says, “I wrote this, then escaped,” with its focus a celebration of the jubilation felt in newfound freedom and the liberation found in the enlightening processes of recovery.

Into The Light grooves and moves pushed by dynamic eurythmics from the get-go and keeps on cruising throughout its ablaze 3.07-minute duration. Glowing jingle-jangle guitar play, rock-solid drumming and Smith‘s impassioned vocals combine for a striking juggernaut. Top-tier score.

Artist: FRANKIE FLOWERS
Who: Singer/songwriter from Ontario, Canada. She creates a genre-bending sound
by merging her love for dark-wave and post-punk music, as well as combining elements
from other genres.

New single: LUST

“You can lust for anything. People, money,
power, we’re all longing for something.”

Lust is a sassy stomper to fill dancefloors with.
It’s only 1.44 minute long, but you know where
the repeat button is.

Band: DIE HARD HABITS
Who: Texan outfit that draws inspiration from the pioneers of post-punk, infusing
their own restless creativity to forge a sound characterized by angular guitar riffs, pulsating basslines, and propulsive rhythms. Their music conveys a sense of urgency, reflecting their desire to challenge norms and provoke thought.

Track: ARKANSAS
From their brand new EP Hey You!

Arkansas is my ears’ favorite track. It rocks, it rolls, and it rattles with
vivid vehemence, fueled by greedy guitars, a robust drum/bass duo and
firm vocality. Bang-on.

Band: OPINION

Who: It’s the pseudonym under which French musician Hugo Carmouze chose to release his solo albums at the age of 13, marking the ordinary chapter of a garage rock fan born into the internet generation… Well, not quite, as the young Occitan has never stopped producing an impressive number of albums since, reminiscent of his great master Ty Segall.

Track: HYPERGLAM
Piece from upcoming album
Horrible, out 23 February.

Grungy chaos, glammy disturbance, fuzz and buzz stir.
Yep, Ty Segall would like this riff-ripper.

THE SMILE featuring two radioheads – Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood – and
drummer Tom Skinner — just launched their new album WALL OF EYES, only 11

Mesmeric and magnetic track READ THE ROOM is a fascinating highlight.

Band: CROW BABY
Who: Berlin-based duo featuring Jean-Louise Parker and
Cherilyn MacNeil – both born and raised in Johannesburg,
South Africa, and each a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist
with their own projects.

New single/video: PITY PARTY
Their 4th single.

Pity Party is a multi-layered art-pop tingle swinging forth and back,
left and right, around an infectious guitar/drum groove with high-pitched
vocals adding a bouncy vibe.

The self-made video features both Cherlyn and Jean-Louise
as children as well as their animated adult selves.

Infamous British misfits FAT WHITE FAMILY have their
4th longplayer out on 26 April.

Second eerie single BULLET OF DIGNITY sounds like FWF have
written the soundtrack for our daily Doomsday experiences.

“The overarching aesthetic themes at work here are torpor and further torpor still.”

Doom and gloom.

The British folk-pop sisters THE STAVES release
their 4th LP, baptized All Now on 22 March.

I DON’T SAY, BUT I FEEL IT is the 3rd taster.

“The song came from a train-ride down to Brighton with friends with the scenery whizzing
by the transient flashes as things come in and out of focus. It is built around this two-chord pattern that kind of chugs along and motors through, picking out these jolts of feeling or memory that rush by.”

Totally entertaining.

Artist: OLIVE GRINTER
Who: Singer-songwriter from
Cardiff, Wales

New single: MURMURATIONS

Isn’t it wondrous that it only takes a spellbinding voice, an acoustic
guitar and a tantalizing tune can combine for a delightful aural
experience.

This is what happens here. Grinter enthralls and enchants
with this melodic lullaby flavored with crystalline harmonies.

Wondrous, indeed.
