Of course, the dark guitar pop of Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band’s “The Blast, The Bloom” is right up our alley. Very muscular and rhythm-driven for a track that’s been arranged actually quite delicately (there’s an intricacy in the noise of this record that’s really rather stellar), “The Blast, The Bloom” fills well the current dearth of indie bands peddling engaging visceral guitar music. We love it. HWBMB is a project of a dude called Tunde Adebimpe from some band named TV On The Radio and their debut EP is out the 1st of October.

With tracks like the immensely catchy soul-leaning indie pop of “Twisted” (excerpted here from his debut “Say What You Want” EP), newcomer London-based artist Breen is poised to be a pretty big deal. Soulful without sounding hokey and a million times modern, the entire four track “Say What You Want” EP comes highly recommended from your friendly b3 crew, stream it here.
