After a too long absence, the Twilight Sad have shared a new single, the curiously titled I/m Not Here [missing face]. It’s a driving, motorik return, with wailing guitars and swirling synths circling around frontman James Graham’s repeated declarations of “I don’t want to be around you anymore.” Graham describes the track’s lyrical basis as being “about my ongoing battle with not liking myself, trying … Continue reading Twilight Sad Are Back

Brilliantly delivering their own louche take on NYC-indebted rock, Dublin art-punks Silverbacks are releasing their new single Dunkirk today via their own PK Miami Records. Underpinned by an insistent, nagging bassline and creepy crawly guitar lines, it provides the ideal vehicle for frontman Daniel O’Kelly’s stream of consciousness ramblings about martial strife, the perfect sandcastle and spotting a con artist when he sees one. Produced by … Continue reading Introducing >>> Silverbacks

Nine tracks channel the anxiety and uneasiness of modern life in this pit of endless internet, chiming post punk rave ups with pointed “of the times” lyrics and some tatsy ambient interludes woven in. Have a listen. Continue reading Deeper – Feels
At the tail end of last year we shared Drahla’s excellent track Silk Spirit, and now the Leeds three-piece have signed with Brooklyn’s wonderful Captured Tracks label and are back with a new single, Twelve Divisions Of The Day. It is another naggingly insistent tune blending the band’s wiry art-rock with krautrock inspired experimentalism, all underpinned by singer/guitarist Luciel Brown’s captivating spoken drawl. Love this. … Continue reading Drahla – Twelve Divisions Of The Day
