Cardiff’s own electro-rock extraordinaires The Vanities storm through with a full-length album of absolute anthems this season.
Eighties
Big beats and the blissfully nostalgic embrace of melodic synths and multiple layers of colour – Coolmowee brings back the dance-pop weight and warmth of a simpler era, with a series of catchy releases.
Creative is the key, the track showcasing strength of ability in both the unorthodox intricacies and the sheer weight and immersive energy of the drops.
Jordana Moon and Tom Aries join forces as the indie duo Moon and Aries, promising originals that fuse retro tones and contemporary, sci-fi-style intricacies, with a clear thread of identity.
Collaborative strength and absolute awareness from a catchy pop perspective, the unmissable dance anthem Red Jordans proves nostalgically soulful yet contemporary.
Freshly crafted with a fine combination of crisp, contemporary elements and clear eighties inspiration – producer Maxime Luft delves into the art-form with passion and precision.
Stunning, in short – a defiant highlight from the year so far, rooted amidst some legendary sounds but more firmly connected to the clear identity and artistic intention of the band.
Fantastic song-writing, fresh & engaging, easily memorable. Hopefully this is a strong indication of what we can look forward to from Jon Omen as the months & years go by.
Setting the mood from the outset with a sort of dreamlike, ambient and partly organic introduction, Hamed Ansari creates a perfectly intentional bit of artistry with this latest single.
A masterful artist – one whom we’re lucky to have gracing our indie world & indeed our generation. Highly recommended.
While Kid Apollo undoubtedly has a style that appeals and is genuinely immersive and likeable, it’s also incredibly unpredictable – these are artistic audio experiences, designed to focus on certain feelings in a wholly hypnotic, provocative fashion.
Hypnotic riff work & lightly doubled vocals loaded with seductive depth guide us through a deeply poetic, intriguing opening track as Head Fake’s new EP hits the scene.
