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.

#148 Matthew & the Atlas – Everything that Dies

The first new song from Matthew & the Atlas in over a year, ‘Everything that Dies’ sees the songwriter back in fine form, with a build the Mumford boys would be proud of. The track comes along with some very…

#147 Jack Cheshire – Gyroscope

“I am the gyroscope that keeps spinning round and round,” sings Jack Cheshire on his single ‘Gyroscope’, which is apt because it will go round and round in your head too. BOOM. *Pauses for applause, is met with deafening silence,…

#146 Emmy The Great – Gabriel

For an artist who has essentially released only two albums of solo material, there’s an incredible amount of Emmy The Great music out there by treasured. Anybody who only came to Emmy through her debut album First Love may be…

#145 Worry Dolls – Oliver

We’ve done a rubbish job of hiding our love of Worry Dolls. Rosie Jones and Zoe Nichol are two of the talented (and nicest) musicians we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. This song is a sneak preview of their new…

#141 Minko – Creature

Followers of the New Bands Panel will be familiar with Cornwall-based experimentalist Minko and her Songs Series. Her latest EP, Songs 5-8 (Creature), is out now and takes its name from this track. A little moodier and broodier than some…

#140 The Mystery Jets – Young Love

Despite having its tune hijacked by the rubbish Hugh Grant film Music & Lyrics, we still love this Mystery Jets tune with an appearance from our Laura Marling. Mystery Jets – Young Love (Featuring Laura Marling) from Will Paris on…
