The immensely talented UK singer and Communion Records signee Annie Eve recently recorded this stunning acoustic version of her track “Elvis” at St. Stephen’s Church, London. We use this reference, only for the sake of a reference, that Annie’s in a league tone-wise with Daughter’s Elena Tonra but as Annie Eve’s American C&W-influenced tone is very much hers.
New wave Chicago rapper Vic Mensa tries on “The Sound of Disclosure” for a dance-y new track that we love.

“In Your Bones” is the third release from Australian act Crooked Colours. Built around DNA of very “relevant” minimal soul, “In Your Bones” wins in where it diverges; (much in the way truly standout bands of the trend like Jungle and Hoodlem); it’s in the non-obvious but quite infectious and visceral melodic choices, it’s in the inventive swerves in instrumentation (much like Hilly Dilly, we’re too very into that deep/hollowed out kick drum on the ones).

Lanks is the project of Australian musician Will Cuming. Sophomore single “Knife and Spear” succeeds on its half-time rhythmic/instrumental feel and it’s Bon/McMorrow-styled harmonic wanderings. We are spinning it.
