MANOR – Can You Hear Me Talking At You

manor

We are wowed by the indie psych-rock trappings of Melbourne male-female duo Manor (Caitlin Duff and Nathaniel Morse) on their soulful sweetly-quieting modest-cadenced guitar-driven Led-Zeppelin-deep new one called “Can You Hear Me Talking At You” which we like immensely for its schmaltzy 70’s lounge vibe vocal style, radiant glitter-tinged subtler-than-day synth accents and brightly-blanched guitar riffing. “Can You Hear Me Talking at You” is the title track off the duo’s forthcoming soon-to-released debut album and is the first material from Manor since their 2013 “Architecture” EP.

True Noir – Creation

truenoir

Brighton male-female duo True Noir capture our utmost attention with their lightly-treading sense-saturating charmer melody on “Creation” a lovely slightly-hazy golden-edged guitar-tinged ethereal beauty which is richly-laden with the sort of profound emotive power that makes it a potent candidate for a movie soundtrack. Excellent dynamic! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Rhodes & Birdy – Let It All Go

rhodes

Earlier this year B3 covered the impeccable modern pop style of UK singer-songwriter RHODES on “Turning Back Around” the excellent single from his debut “Wishes” EP which is out on September 18th. We like RHODES’ latest (totally breathtaking) installment from the EP called “Let It All Go” on which RHODES joins forces with remix-darling BIRDY. Recently premiered as Huw Stephens’ Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 new track “Let It All Go” is a quietly-enamoring standout-timeless pop-ballad which deeply and artfully showcases a beautifully-simple soft-percolating raw-emotion chaotic-harmonic male-female artistic cohesion that might just land the track on some singer-songwriter best-of-lists for 2015.

TÂCHES – Eat Your Friends (Feat. Shoffy)

taches

“Eat Your Friends” is an immediately-catchy melody-tempered r&b-vocaled deep-house house jam from Barcelona’s sexy-anonymous producer legend TÂCHES which captivates our sentiments in deep with its fun-loving percussion-led late-night-dance-grind background dynamic, incessant subtle-hued baroque-reverb-y bass-line and the sonorously-sultry sweet-magnetic r&b-slick vocals of LA-artist Shoffy (who is new to B3).

Satchmode – Never Gonna Take You Back

Take respite in freshly-spun vintage-inspired sonics of the delectably danceable dream-pop atmospherics, harmonic-repetitive melody-laced vocals and trippy-fantastical synth-driven disco-tinged trimmings of new track “Never Gonna Take You Back” from LA multi-instrumentalist duo Satchmode off their upcoming August-release “Afterglow” EP (which features the mixing skills of Grammy Award-winning sound engineer Robert Orton).

Shon Hayes – Paint

We dig the slow drying bold-ethereals and wild centerlines of new track “Paint” in which producer Mikezilla expertly meshes a draconian-sleek metallic-vibe dub sub-current with the superb slow-paced Kid Cudi-esque rapper calm of LA artist Shon Hayes. Awesome track. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Vindata – Wide Awake (Feat. Kenzie May)

vindata

We like the positively electric vocals of London songstress Kenzie May on “Wide Awake” the new Vindata track which artfully celebrates a particularly bright and bouncy atmospheric and warmly tantalizing chime-toned background melody. B3 recently covered the LA electro duo for their breathtaking Mack-sampling Bjork-style-vocal-ed gem “Getting Away”. Both tracks are a lead in to Vindata’s forthcoming “Through Time And Space” EP, which is out via OWSLA on August 14th. We look forward to it. Reviewed by Erin Shay.
