A song a day, every day. From brand new tunes to elderly classics. We don’t promise to be constrained by genre, but we promise to recommend brilliant music.

#480 Bend The River – The Echo And The Sway

https://soundcloud.com/matt-21-1/bend-the-river-the-echo-and-the-sway/s-esrIH From that hotbed of all things alt-country Halifax come Bend The River. This track ‘The Echo And The Sway’ actually has more of a soul/rock n roll feel to it, feeling simultaneous upbeat and tinged with melancholy. It’s taken…

#479 Carousels & Limousines – Strange Love

This new track from Carousels & Limousines forms a double A side with another song called ‘Superman’. We’re enjoying its hazy charm, which we reckon will be perfect for their Glastonbury set this Friday on the Avalon stage. We also…

#478 – Exclusive | Rainbow Reservoir – Blue Crab

With its easy, otherworldly charm, ‘Blue Crab’ – the new song from Rainbow Reservoir – sounds singularly unlike anything else we’ve heard in a while. And we mean that in a very good way. It’s taken from the wonderfully named…

#477 SixToes – Pedestal

We can’t get enough of SixToes at the moment. Which is good news, really, because they have an album coming out next month called The Morning After. In the meantime they’ve been kind enough to share this track – ‘Pedestal’…

#476 Twelfth Day – The Devil Makes Three

Fans of the wonderful Coen brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou? might recognise this song, which features – albeit in an almost unrecognisable version – on the soundtrack. We absolutely love this version, which is the title track of…

Tamara Schlesinger has released records as a member of 6 Day Riot and as a solo artist under her own name. Now she’s MALKA as she releases the single ‘Into The Night’. It’s slinky and cool and all sorts of…

So here is ‘Roll On’ from Australia’s Pretty City. It’s all fuzzy and a bit lovely and reminds of the 90s, which is good because we liked…

#472 Midlake – Aurora Gone

If you’re a Midlake fan you’ll know this track ‘Aurora Gone’, taken from the band’s last album Antiphon. It comes from a new live concert film and documentary by actor Jason Lee and director Eric Noren called ‘Midlake: Live in…

#471 Exclusive | Dan Amor – Dusk Bird

Artwork for Dusk Bird by Dan Amor

There’s something quite old-fashioned in the best possible way about this new track from Dan Amor. Taken from his recent Rainhill Trials album, it’s dark and grungy, but it’s also thoroughly melodic and done with a light touch. Amor writes…
