Pop essentials and a little bit more

Mychael Gabriel – ‘Ghost In The Midnight’

September 18, 2019

Mychael Gabriel might be familiar to you as the musical collaborator and lead guitarist for legendary percussionist Sheila E: his performance skills and stage presence are beyond argument on that count. Now he brings his vivid imagination to the forefront, with his first official solo single and video, ‘Ghost In The Midnight’.

Triple Island – ‘FÊTE’

September 18, 2019

Vocalists Neysa, Cuppa, and Yola each represent a different island, and collectively they carry the sound of the tropics with them.

Rat City – ‘Deliriously Good’

September 18, 2019

Norwegian trio Rat City are as unusual as their name. They’ve got the style and swagger required to ensure immediate success, and are more than just a household name in their home country, where they have held the place for #1 record on the radio and the Top 10 Spotify in Norway, as well as being on the Top 5 Shazam for over ten weeks. Their new single, ‘Deliriously Good’ does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s good. Deliriously so.

Mother Yeti – ‘My Best Please’

September 18, 2019

Mother Yeti are as elusive as the Himalayan Cryptid for whom they are named. First spotted in the Pacific Northwest circa 2012, their numbers have varied between two to as many as five members over the years. Their latest single, ‘My Best Please’, has a sound as hard to pin down as the band themselves, and ranges between punk, psych rock, and RnB. One thing we know for sure however – we love it.

The Bobbleheads – ‘I Really See You’

September 18, 2019

Everything about San Francisco’s The Bobbleheads feels effortlessly classic: from their 12 string Rickenbacker guitars, to their sweet sweet multi-part harmonies, to the joy and love that emanates from their live performances, and to every single one of their releases. Formed in 2003, their latest single, is a hopeful track from their most recent album, ‘Myths & Fables’.

Neko Deshawn – ‘Too Much’

September 18, 2019

Neko Deshawn is set to make a huge impact on the rap scene with his debut single and video, ‘Too Much’. He channels a jazz ethos through brass-tinged instrumentals, while harnessing an unapologetic realism via direct delivery.

KMFDM – ‘Paradise’

September 18, 2019

Formed in Paris in 1984, KMFDM cross techno/dance music with heavy metal to create their signature sound, an aggressive blend of industrial rock and blunt lyrics, challenging the social and political landscape. New album ‘PARADISE’ takes a deeper step into other genres, including abrasive hip-hop, dark alt rock, and avant-electro metal.

Zaritza – ‘Slot Machine’

September 18, 2019

Zaritza’s latest release, ‘Slot Machine’ is an empowering affirmation from a woman who knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to do what it takes to get it.

SPiN Contemplate The ‘Price Of Love’ With 80s Tinged Single

September 11, 2019

We’re a bit late to the table with this one – SPiN released ‘Price Of Love’ at the end of July – but hopefully we can shine a bit more light on it.

Lesibu Grand – ‘Miranda’

September 9, 2019

The video for ‘Miranda’, by Lesibu Grand, looks like it was a lot of fun to make. It’s got costumes which shift from 1950s suburbia to space suits which look as though they’ve come straight out of ‘Lost In Space’, or ‘Star Trek’. Filming locations are lush as well, opening on a beautiful mid-century modern house I’d not say no to, there’s also a fair bit of green screen as well, with the couple in the clip flashing between their average American dream to travelling in time and space – complete with rayguns.

‘Those Were The Days’ – Jared Lee Performs Stripped Back Acoustic Version Of Midnight Kids Song

September 6, 2019

Jared Lee gives us a beautiful stripped back acoustic rendition of his song ‘Those Were The Days’, which he released earlier this year with Midnight Kids.

Josie Cotton – ‘Ukrainian Cowboy’

September 5, 2019

Josie Cotton knows that pop music thrives on unlikely combinations. An upbeat, catchy chorus combined with a hip hop bridge shouldn’t work, but it does. But genre bending doesn’t usually cross this far: for her new single, ‘Ukrainian Cowboy’, she blends a twangy baritone guitar and a country-inspired melody with the deep-voiced chants and buoyant rhythms of Russian folk music. It sounds bizarre when written down, but believe us when we say, it works.
