“Maybe Baby” is the latest example in a string of poignant, visceral, dark pop songs from Southampton UK singer Laurel. Armed with a powerfully immediate voice and a to the point melodic calculus, Laurel’s potent pop sustains with “Maybe Baby” is impressive run against the grain of the current pop milieu. A++
New from Israel’s BLDG5 Records (Garden City Movement) is “Dirty Lover”, the latest from Tel Aviv band Less Acrobats. On “Dirty Lover” the band neatly blend the seemingly disparate tones of Voodoo-era D’Angelo grooves and the more psychedelic tinges of the chillwave sound with a hint of added-in noisy gaze-derived guitar. It’s a cool refreshing sound that we’re really digging. Give “Dirty Lover” a spin below.

William Bolton’s latest track “Change,” produced by himself, has an astounding message that’s definitely appropriate for America’s mixed responses to the election results. Bolton describes how he’s found a bright light within himself and how he’s reached a place of contentment and happiness within his own life. This song is a great reminder that change is possible and that it’s up to each of us to create positive energy within ourselves first before larger positive change can be made.
Denver producer STéLOUSE links up with B3SCI Records alum Nick Leng and his out-of-this-world vocal prowess for great new rhythm-driven track “Been So Long” for Casablanca Records.
Hartlepool UK’s PLAZA stream third single online “Youth”. Constructed over a rudder of UK shoegaze’s more illustrious moments (the timbre of Slowdive particularly comes to mind here), “Youth” ably applies the gaze idiom into a modern gruffer frame that we’re digging.
The Liverpool maniacs Trudy and the Romance latest exercise in melodic chaos is the cool as hell new track “Sandman”.
The UK “Saltwater” hitmakers, Geowulf, follow-up their breakthrough with track of equivalent blissed-out brilliance. The beachy, dreamy number “Don’t Talk About You” sonically picks right up where “Saltwater” last left us, excelling through a tuneful surrealistic vibe long on great pop songwriting skill. Stream “Don’t Talk About You” below
