LAUREL
“San Francisco”, the gritty, intimate, potent new track from LAUREL, is our favorite song of the week.
The Bay Area purveyors of Lusophonically-linked indie pop, Trails and Ways, mark out a strong return on “My Things”.
“Late Night Swimming” is the debut single for London artist & Years & Years collaborator Anna Straker.
“Satellite” is a fine example of the well-tuned craft which Bristol duo Meadowlark is coming to be recognized for. With a soundscape reaching beyond the redundant and ambient R&B tendencies of their contemporaries, “Satellite” is an irresistible indie pop chiller, boasting uniquely expansive production and a melodic chorus of exceptional replay value.
“Satellite” is premiered here from the sophomore EP release by Meadowlark called ‘Paraffin‘, and is available this Friday 4/22 on Believe Records. Be sure to catch Meadowlark on tour in Europe this coming May.

Liverpool kids The Night Cafe follow up “Together” from last month with equally strong “Time”. Built on an airtight pop construction (think Bombay Bicylce Club or Fickle Friends) “Time” as a song and The Night Cafe as a band are concocted of the DNA/fabric/stuff that big chart breakouts are made of. Look out.
The be-cantalouped L.A. creative collective curated by Josh Ocean, NVDES is pleased to announce “Don’t Fvck Your Neighbor / The Other Side” as a AA-single on our B3SCI Records. Josh describes NVDES as “vibes with friends”, and the project’s songs result from many experimental collaborations with said friends (and in “Don’t Fvck Your Neighbor’s” case, actual neighbors) and draw, in their composition, inspiration from 50’s surf, 90’s alternative, campfire folk, hyphy, etc. The “Don’t Fvck Your Neighbor / The Other Side” is out today on limited 7″ pink vinyl, further details on the release can be found at B3SCI Records.
Steady Holiday aka L.A. artist Dre Babinski employs a French pop/post-Portishead frame to new track “Open Water”. Carried by Ms. Babinski’s quieting/effective vocal/melodic choices “Open Water” radiates an excellent sense of setting atmosphere. Think a 1960’s Paris metro photographed in black and white or a foggy pier-side late night in 90’s Bristol.
We are pleased to announce the release tomorrow (4/8) of L.A. via Texas singer Chelsea Lankes’ self-titled debut EP on our B3SCI Records. The EP available on limited 10″ pink vinyl features big hook break-up jam “Bullet” which has been co-signed by Fader, Spin, and KKS and glowing new mid-tempo single “Paralyzed”. Stream “Bullet” and “Paralyzed” from the EP below and navigate to B3SCI Records for further details on the release.
PUMAROSA. The UK five piece who blew through SXSW earlier in the month (nearly everyone we talked too at the festival were knocked out by the band) stream second track online “Cecile”. A bit more conventional in its construction than its sprawling predecessor (“Priestess”), “Cecile” is a refreshing (Pumarosa sound like no other band out) exercise in dark well-made indie pop. We like it.
