Danish band Lowly preview skittering new track “Prepare the Lake” from forthcoming debut LP. “Prepare the Lake” is cast around a shell of subtle tremolo guitar and synth washes to a cool juxtaposition of a flowing main vocal melody from singer Soffie Viemose and motion-filled rhythm track. Lowly’s LP Heba is out February 10th on Bella Union.
Melvv has had an incredible year. From hitting number one on Spotify with his easy-listening track “Vibe” to performing side by side with Autograf and Goldroom, Melvv has accomplished a ton, and his latest track, “Not Me” (feat. Two Feet) is no different. This catchy song produces smooth and smokey vocals that feel refreshing. Melvv takes a different approach to this track while still staying true to his roots. Check out this fresh tune.
Happy new year from B3. See you in 2017. Thank you for reading and listening.
D.C. duo GEMS are back with their first new music since debut Kill the One You Love LP. “Blow Out The Light” is an excellent quieting bit of supremely constructed indie pop that picks up in terms of its quality just where Kill the One You Love left off. Stream “Blow Out The Light” below
Steve James and RKCB return with a future-laden blissful new tune called “In My Head”. When I noticed it recieved a Kwon remix treatment, I knew I had to give it a listen and was pleased by the unique sound design and vibes. Stop by SoundCloud for more. Enjoy.
Leeds upstarts Team Picture slug out hulking excellent new exercise in far-off guitar music on “Potpourri Headache”. Set on a circadian groove of considerable punch, “PH” is a multi-layered psych-ish experience on to itself anchored by a great recording and some inventive instrumentation ideas. Well done.
Dreamy Geordie crew Seeing Hands follow-up “I Knew You” from back in August with equally strong (and dreamy), “It’s True”.
Australian pair North Elements and Wayfarer collaborate on new track “Break” with Denitia (from “Divided” duo Denitia and Sene). The producing team select for a warm pads of deep in the mix synths as the frame for Denitia’s quieting but no less potent vocal. Spin “Break” below.
Anonymous Dublin-based duo St. Francis Hotel impress on “You’d Gotta Be Alive”. Constructed around a steady syncopated groove and cool minor-keyed guitar leads and harmonies, “You’d Gotta Be Alive” takes the UK dark pop sound of the past few years to a more rock and roll direction. A++.
