Lana Del Rey’s second album Ultraviolence is out on 12 June. So far we’ve heard the brilliant ‘West Coast‘, which has been followed up this morning with ‘Shades Of Cool’ – another great track which has a definite Bond theme feel at the start, before stretching out into a gorgeous chorus that could almost be…
I’ve been a big fan of The Darlingtons ever since I received their debut EP ‘New Independent‘ back in 2011. Following the release of their debut album Decades Dance last year, it looks like the boys have retraced their steps and gone back to the independent roots of that excellent debut EP – casting off…
Up and coming LA-based electronic-singer-songwriter BANKS is touted as the next huge star, and it’s not hard to see why with her very stylish new single ‘Warm Water’ – which was released this week on London label Good Years. It’s a sleek, slinky and well-polished single to follow her previous sleek, slinky and well-polished releases…
New Brighton/London duo GAPS have been causing a bit of a stir in the blogosphere over the past few months, and have today officially announced the release their debut single ‘Cascade’ – out 15 July on Sexbeat. The track is a typically mysterious progression from mystical and ephemeral folk to brooding electro – kind of…

The Darlingtons – Decades Dance [rating:4/5] You may remember a few months ago I named Taunton band The Darlingtons as my favourite new band – and just to prove what a good judge of music I am here’s their debut album Decades Dance, which is amazing: Decades Dance, out now on indie label Ordered Records,…
As a warm up to their appearance at the Sasquatch music festival in the US this weekend, Arctic Monkeys played their first gig in over a year in California last night – and debuted a brand new track called ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ in the process. There’s no word yet on whether ‘Do I Wanna…
We already know Disclosure’s debut album Settle is going to be one of the best albums of the year thanks to the slickly produced RnB/garage pop singles they’ve been chucking out willy nilly over the last few months. ‘Latch‘, ‘White Noise‘, and ‘You & Me‘ have all made great use of guest vocalists, but now…
After the release of their superlative debut single ‘Wings‘ a few months ago, Brooklyn hipsters HAERTS were quickly snapped up by Columbia Records and are back with the equally brilliant follow-up single ‘All The Days’. Check it out:
When does an EP become an LP? I’m not sure what the criteria for each is, but Fade Away from Best Coast is surely right on the line. They’re calling it a ‘mini-album’, which is acting as a ‘primer’ for their third album proper next year. So it should probably go down as an EP…
