Antherius- ‘Midnight Cowboy’

‘Midnight Cowboy’, by Antherius – the project of Texas based artist Tom Reynal – is an homage to the beautiful city which is right now hurting about as hard as it possibly could hurt because of the continuing COVID-19 crisis. Although not a New Yorker, Antherius nonetheless understands the New York story, and the video for his version of the theme song from the classic film of the same name features nothing but shots of the magnificent city. Not just a tribute, but a celebration of the central place New York City holds in the consciousness of not just the United States, but the whole world.

Ukrainian-born Delana unleashes ‘SOS’

Delena is fast making a name for herself as one of the UK’s most exciting new names in pop, with her alternative aesthetic videos racking up an impressive 5M streams. This is no mean feat from the Ukrainian-born singer-songwriter, who is no stranger to hard work. Her latest track, ‘SOS’, sees her reap the benefits of her work, delivering the ultimate kiss-off song to add to her repertoire of dark, sophisticated alt-pop.

Ancient Whales – ‘Giving’

Ancient Whales have a compelling sound – garage rock that contains more than a hint of punk – that works well with their equally intriguing name. In fact, the band name is matched by that of the members themselves, Enoch Bledsoe, Natalie Bledsoe, and Oakley Munson. Not to be outdone is the title of their latest album, ‘Vestiges Of Tails Appear In All Of Us’, set for release on April 24 via Owlphabet Records, which sounds like it’s been lifted from ‘On The Origin Of Species’. First single from the album is the more simply named, ‘Giving’, and that’s where the simplicity ends.
