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.

#368 NEEDTOBREATHE – The Heart

South Carolina trio NEEDTOBREATHE release their latest album in April, with this track ‘The Heart’ a taste of what to expect. Slickly produced but with enough rawness to maintain a rootsy charm, this is stomping-good Southern-tinged country rock. Rivers In…

#367 Nick Mulvey – Cucurucu

Nick Mulvey has this week released his third single, ‘Cucurucu’, as the former Portico Quartet member gets ready for the release of his debut album First Mind in May. Besides featuring a mildly addictive title (seriously, try saying it to…

#366 Until The Bird – Nightingales

We’re not entirely sure what a post-apocalyptic alt-folk three-piece is, but apparently Until The Bird are one. With roots in Bristol, Canterbury and Lithuania, they are certainly a cosmopolitan bunch, but their sound is one steeped in folk traditions. ‘Nightingales’…

#365 Terry Emm – Starlight

Terry Emm continues to drip feed songs from his new record, which is due later in the year. ‘Starlight’, out now as a digital single, is the third song we’ve heard from the album of the same name, channelling the…

#362 Mo Kenney – Sucker

To say the Rachel Sermanni-fronted Middle Of Nowhere Recordings is on a roll at the moment would be something of an understatement. After swoonworthy recent releases from Sermanni herself and Colin Macleod, the Highlands-based label now presents Candian singer-songwriter Mo…

#361 Dawn Landes – Try To Make A Fire Burn Again

The latest track from Dawn Landes is ‘Try To Make A Fire Burn Again’, a wonderfully tender number from her upcoming album Bluebird. Understated but startlingly intimate, it will draw you closer and closer to your computer/tablet/phone/other technological device on which…

#360 Tashaki Miyaki – Cool Runnings

The Winter Olympics, complete as they were with a Jamaican bobsleigh team, have been and gone, but the time is right all the same for a new song by the name of Cool Runnings. Dream-pop merchants Tashaki Miyaki are only…

#359 Slow Club – Tears Of Joy

Wait, is that.. Is that Slow Club? Hell yes, it’s Slow Club! New track ‘Tears Of Joy’ might not sound like them, but it definitely is. It’s hazy and dreamy and kind of sleazy; it’s kind of soulful, a little…
