Diving Station - Joanna

Goat Girl – The Crack

If first singles, ‘Sad Cowboy’ and ‘The Crack’ are anything to go by, Goat Girl’s sophomore album coming January 29th may well be one of the strongest efforts of 2021. Produced by Speedy Wunderground producer du jour Dan Carey (Fontaines D.C, Black Midi, Black Country, New Road), ‘The Crack’ is brimming with warbling synths and discombobulating polyrhythms. 

 

Shame - Alphabet

Oracle Sisters – The Dandelion 

‘The Dandelion’ is the first taste of Parisian trio Oracle Sisters new EP, ‘Paris 11’, which is due for spring 2021. Oracle Sisters are currently in Greece working on their debut record. They’ve also found time to fit in impromptu shows on the island of Hydra with friends from The Murder Capital & Fontaines D.C too!

Kevin Morby - Campfire

Rostam – Unfold You

Ex-Vampire Weekend member Rostam Batmanglij has been a busy man since he left the group back in 2016, producing the likes of Haim, Clairo and Carly Rae Jepsen. His solo output has been equally prodigious. Latest single, ‘Unfold You’, is a beautiful and mellow synth-driven soundscape.

 

Matt Berninger - One More Second

PVA – Sleek Form

PVA first emerged in 2019 with ‘Divine Intervention’, a delicious slice of disco-punk, released on the Speedy Wunderground label. ‘Sleek Form’, from their debut EP (having now signed to Ninja Tune) finds Ella Harris casting doubt on a plethora of characters, buoyed by the track’s pulsating bass line and pounding, tribal drums. 

 

Shame - Alphabet

Claud – Soft Spot

New York-born indie popster Claud recently signed to the Queen of indie pop, Phoebe Bridgers’ label ‘Saddest Factory Records’. ‘Soft Spot’ comes with the announcement of their debut album ‘Super Monster’, due in the new year. 

 

Oscar Lang - Drinking Wine

Robbie and Mona – Wallpaper

Robbie and Mona is the partnership of William Carkeet and Eleanor Gray. The project began when William offered to produce Eleanor’s second album, which in turn led to the creation of Robbie & Mona. ‘Wallpaper’ was recorded in the cellar of Bristol’s iconic venue, The Louisiana.

 

Bedouine, Waxahatchee, and Hurray for the Riff Raff - Thirteen

Kitty Fitz – Saving Face

Doves - Prisoners

Angel Hotel – By All Means Necessary

‘By All Means Necessary’ is the second single by Cardiff based alternative pop trio Angel Hotel‘. The song touches on motifs of loss and hope and is brimming with exburent, 80s-esque melodies. A band on the rise and one to watch for sure!
