Vök – Before

Vök - Before

The distinct voicings of Clarinets and Saxophones are becoming a pretty big deal over in Iceland at the moment with promising young trip-hop bands like Samaris and also Vök, who particular put the lesser spotted instrument to good use. Makes you wonder if Tom Waits has been hiding out in the Scandinavian country leaving a secret treasure bounty of ideas in his wake? I guess we’ll never know. Either way, “Before” is a great track. There’s clearly a bit of xx’s guitar tones present but from the second verse things really take off as Margret Ran’s stunning vocals make their mark.

You can pick up this “Before” along with 4 more tunes on the already released “Tension” EP from Records Records. Reviewed by Nathan Hetherington

Hella Better Dancer – Sleeptalking

hellabetterdancer sleeptalking

“Sleeptalking” is easily the most infectious track yet from Brighton/London four-piece Hella Better Dancer. Eerie female vocals and dark bass lines repeatedly lunge into a series of glorious choruses, before wandering off into the night after a brief two a half minute spell. You can pick it up the track from Beautiful Strange after Nov 11th and download it for free today. Reviewed by Nathan Hetherington

Morgan Delt – Beneath The Black And Purple

morgan delt

“Beneath The Black and Purple” is the lead single from Trouble in Mind Records artist Morgan Delt. The California-based Delt will release a self-titled debut LP through the label in January. “Beneath The Black and Purple” does well to balance it’s psychedelic-ness with a firm rudder of tight rhythm and concise melody.
