We posted about the catchy noise pop of London based duo Young Romance back in March and new single Never Learn looks set to enhance their reputation even further. Swathed in a fuzzy exterior, it is a adrenalin fuelled rush of sugar-coated hooks and harmonies that rushes to a giddy climax in just over two perfect minutes. Stream it. Hit repeat. .

Phonecalls In The Bath is the new single from Deadline Shakes, out on the 28th June via Flowers In The Dustbin records.

Time for a collection of some of the great videos and songs we’ve had through lately. They range from the Cheatah’s excellent Murasaki video and Heater’s brilliant Mean Green through to the raw, fizzing noise rock of Reporters’ stripped back video by way of the tripped out campfire haze of Zuli’s Better All The Time. . . . . . . .

Courtney Barnett’s new single is Dead Fox, ostensibly one of the brightest and poppiest tracks on her brilliant recent long player Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit, but also one of the most politically weighted. With this track, she uses vivid, nightmarish imagery of trucks criss-crossing the country, taxidermied kangaroos and “a possum Jackson Pollock…painted in the tar” as a powerful argument against … Continue reading New Video: Courtney Barnett – Dead Fox
