Chicago based Star Tropics have a new single out at the moment. It features two unreleased demos that were filmed for DKFM’s DreamGaze Worldwide III back in June. Both tracks provide some clues as to what the band’s second album … Continue reading Star Tropics – Stay Home Session
DAODA – Through the Veil I have not heard New York’s DAODA for a couple of years now. I am not sure how I missed last year’s Swimming single but have rectified that on the new one Through the Veil. … Continue reading A Tuesday Trio
Cadiz based Detergente Líquido have been going for almost eight years now and I stumbled over their Tú Tampoco Eres Como Antes EP back in February and it’s been on my wish list ever since. The female-led tracks such as … Continue reading Detergente Líquido – Monta Una Banda Para Vender Camisetas
bdrmm – Gush bdrmm have released the best track, well my favourite, from their recent album Bedroom as a single. Jangling guitars and atmospheric electronica create a track with a haunting melody with vocals to match. It’s one of those … Continue reading The Bank Holiday Sunday Sixpack
