Ladies and gents, the time has come to entertain your ears with a fresh dose of slick new music. We’ve rifled, we’ve pillaged, we’ve studied your habits closer than MI5 in the midst of a key investigation (OK, so that last one’s actually Facebook). The result? Our finger on the pulse where emerging indie, pop and rock tracks are concerned. It’s time to crack out that sunscreen and prepare your headphones; these are the artists you need on your radar this month.
We’re starting things off this month with Aussie revellers The Faim. Fresh cut “Summer Is A Curse” is an absolute anthem, blending guitars, hooks by the dozen and follows on perfectly from previous cut “Saints Of The Sinners” (above). Sitting pretty alongside “North American Dream” – the slick new rock offerings from The Honest Heart Collective – and this month’s offering is lining up to be a deliciously sordid affair.
Felicity lightens things up with “Pilot With A Fear Of Heights” a pop cut that’s ready to seduce with a side of soul. Nestled alongside the delicious tones of CLOVES, this pop siren brings the heat with a Lana-meets-Jessie Jo Stark-esque haze of seduction. Needless to say, she’s one to keep a beady eye on.
Featuring magical appearances from the likes of Distant Bonds and the dreamy melodies of LARKS, this soundtrack is on an upward trajectory. Remember our favourite Scissor Sister (besides Ana Matronic, obvz)? Yup, Jake Shears is stepping up to the plate with a quirky pop gem in the form of “Creep City”. Be sure to catch the video below.
KAWALA are side-stepping into view with up-beat cut “Funky“. To be honest, the track does precisely what it says on the tin and we challenge you to hold back a foot tap. Sat alongside fresh pop releases from SHY Martin (it’s an electro pop banger you need to wrap your ears around) and a down-tempo slow burner from The Modern Strangers (well worth a listen – or three) this is the soundtrack to your summer.
“Tigerblood”, the fresh cut from Vistas, is an up-tempo indie pop banger. Merging surging guitars with fervent melodies, you can pop this on your running playlist any day. Stereo Honey make a spontaneous appearance once again, while Bend Sinister and Vivii storm proceedings with a couple of cracking offerings. Topped off with horizontal, synth smothered offerings from Matthew Young in the form of “Hey” and Des Rocs dark and indulgent “Used To Darkness”, this is the playlist you need.
