Here’s a slice of pure pop loveliness from Brooklyn-based Milagres. ‘IDNYL’ – which stands fro I Don’t Need Your Love – is a delicate flower for something with such a defiant heart. You’ll glide along with it and come away…

#343 Lapland – Where Did It Go?
Wistfulness and yearning ooze out of this track and every bit as much as you’d expect from a song called ‘Where Did It Go?’. With a sweet flavour and synths so gentle they almost sound acoustic, Josh Mease – aka…
#342 Tokyo Police Club – Hot Tonight
Tokyo Police Club are from Canada but this slice of pure pop is soaked in California sun. In fact, if it were playing beneath shots of beautiful people frolicking in the sun in a some sort of teen romance, you…
#341 David Bronson – One Simple Myth
We’re always interested to see someone doing something a bit different, and this video to accompany David Bronson’s ‘One Simple Myth’ – which marries live action, animation and comic book art – is certainly that. The discomfiting effect of the…
#340 Colin Macleod – California

Regular FFS readers will already be familiar with Brighton quartet House of Hats, whose EP Rivers Will Run we loved back in 2012. Then we described their music as soft and soothing, and the same is definitely true here with…

#335 Laura Marling – Devil’s Resting Place
Happy Laura Marling’s birthday everyone! It’s seems unnecessary to detail exactly what we love about Marling at this point – if you don’t know that already, you’re just not paying attention. Instead we will just present you with this, the…
#334 PINS – Waiting For The End
Fancy a sing-along? Check out this new video to ‘Waiting For The End’ by PINS, from their Girls Like Us album. The Manchester four-piece have helpfully included the lyrics so you can join in. Whether or not you’ll be able…
