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.

#428 The Point – Lost Your Chance

Out of Brooklyn come duo The Point, whose track ‘Lost Your Chance’ is a lovely, laid-back slice of electro pop. Simple but subtly different, Michael O’Neill and Sammy Tunis have created a song which feels almost slight at the start but by…

#427 Peter Matthew Bauer – Philadelphia Raga

Wow, talk about slow build. This glorious track from Peter Matthew Bauer starts from nothing and grows very much at its own pace into a perfect slice of unapologetic and grimy folk pop. Bauer used to be in The Walkmen,…

#426 The Drink – Microsleep

EP three by The Drink The Drink are one of our favourite discoveries of 2014. We loved their their second EP Two, and particularly the track ‘At The Weekend‘. Now there’s a third EP. Can you guess what it’s called?…

Late April may seem a slightly odd time to debut a track called ‘Winter’, but as someone who last weekend stood outside Piccadilly Records all night in temperatures which dipped to around two degrees can tell you, we’ve not quite…

#419 The Fugitives – Ring

The Fugitives aren’t quite like other bands, so it’s perhaps not surprising that their music doesn’t really sound like other music. The Canadian duo are made up of a novelist and poetry slam champion, Brendan McLeod, and an actor, Adrian…
