“Giant Peach” is the lead track from Wolf Alice’s forthcoming major label debut My Love Is Cool. “Giant Peach” possesses a “big rock sound” but in achieving it, the track sacrifices nothing in melody and immediacy resulting in a top class indie rock track, one of the genre’s best songs of the year so far.

There is nothing we don’t love about “Lisa Sawyer”, the new one from DFW’s Leon Bridges. Romantic doo-wop-ref’ing harmony and instrrumentation done in a way that is both very affecting and comes off with a fresh feel that makes Bridges’ emotional communication in the track so much more real.

Haywyre’s new official remix of “All We Need” by Odesza is a feel-good, futuristic take on the original that deserves your attention. The catchy synth layers together perfectly with the upbeat bassline and smooth keyboard section. There are a lot of remixes of Odesza floating around the internet right now, but this is easily one of the best ones – hands down. Reviewed by Daniel.
