Leeds-born, London-based duo The Mad Mile hit their stride on their debut full-length Legroom, a record that turns everyday anxiety, social awkwardness, and late-capitalist nonsense into crooked, catchy anti-anthems. Sonically, it lives where dissonant shoegaze brushes up against focused post-rock and twitchy trip-hop, with echoes of Just Mustard, Fontaines D.C.,…

UK songwriter and NHS doctor Euplasia swaps hospital corridors for kaleidoscopic daydreams on his new single “Hallayoola,” a jolt of upbeat indie rock that feels like pure sunshine on a grey February afternoon.

Dublin post-punk/synthpop outfit Gravité Fresq crank the neon paranoia all the way up on “Reality Is Premium,” a glossy 80s-flavoured anthem for the subscription age. Sitting somewhere between Pet Shop Boys’ icy poise and New Order’s driving melancholy, with a dash of LCD-style media anxiety, the track dives headfirst into…

Los Angeles’ masked storyteller, The Vigilante, keeps building his neon-noir universe, and “Get You Through” might be his most human chapter yet. On this synth-rock / new wave single, he zooms in on one simple, aching question, how do you actually reach someone you love when they’re drowning in their…

Chicago’s No Lonesome has always lived in that hazy borderland where country twang, folk warmth, and indie-rock shrug all share the same cigarette. With Am I What I’m Not? Probably Not. Wait! the DIY project of musician-producer Jeb Backe tightens the screws a bit, nudging that laid-back smugness into punchier,…

Kat Kikta drops a whole visitation. “Are You Worthy?” is a message beamed in from somewhere between a Victorian séance and a 1950s sci-fi landing site. Kat steps out of the metaphorical flying saucer, cloak of avant-pop and sound art around her shoulders, to ask the one question we spend…
