Just Listen: Joy Atlas – Drop Your Sword
Joy Atlas Joy Atlas seem to be one of those bands who I can never remember who it is when I hear them, and that’s totally my fault and it’s really annoying. It’s annoying because I really love them and because every single time their melodies and lyrics become gigantic ear worms and I found … Continue reading
Just Listen: Annabel Jones – Happy
Annabel Jones The fabulous Annabel Jones returned recently with her latest track, Happy. You would be forgiven for thinking that, on the face of it, that this is a happy and upbeat song – but no.

Just Listen: Pink Milk – Detroit
Pink Milk Words: Georgia Evans Swedish stars, Pink Milk are influenced by bubblegum shoegaze infused sounds which they mix with, quite frankly, more than a hint of fuzz.

Just Listen: Prides – Rome
Prides The (ahem) pride of Glasgow, Prides, return with new single Rome and it brings a ever so slightly rockier edge to their usual disco-pop infused sound.
