Every once in a while, there’s a tune that comes along that easily sweeps you off your feet, and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling inside you didn’t even know you needed. As we are smack dab right in the middle of the season of all things cosy, merry and bright, this song is all of that and a pinch more. 

Indie-turned-rock artist Jordan Dean released a new two-song EP titled “Attention” on October 23rd. It features two re-released songs and is berserk!

Sometimes in the wake of discovery, you discover you’ve found something better than what you’d set out to look for in the first place. Not even necessarily better, but a more than suitable alternative, something different. The perpetual hunt for new music led me to Straylings one afternoon through the very happy medium of Spotify. Starting with some PJ Harvey, I let smart shuffle begin its industrious process.

Our Noise has teamed up with Ride’s Mark Gardener to remix their beloved hit ‘FLA’. This new version of the song features a compelling guitar hook that truly captivates the essence of the newly renovated song.

The sound of the Sixties is widely recognised as being the music that broke ways with the formulaic songs of the 1950s, and had musicians articulating their personal and political beliefs in a way only jazz greats could convey. There was as much optimism and anticipation of what the future might bring (sadly, not much). Many, would definitely say, instead, that musicians nowadays –or since then- have been trying to recapture that feeling into their own music.

Indie rock band, Lunar Vacation dropped their newest album “Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire” on September 13th, and the nine-song release is a must-have for any indie music fan.

The music is a reflection of Alex’s experiences. Originally from East Windsor, NJ, at just 21, Alex Kolo had a chance to travel all over the world and study in Germany.

Axel Flovent’s music has continued to grow alongside his artistry. His brand new album ‘Away from this dream’ is no different. Flovent is an Icelandic singer-songwriter who first burst onto the scene back in 2015 when he debuted his highly successful track ‘Forest Fires’. The track went on to exceed almost 80 million streams on spotify and get his face out on the music scene.

ORKID’s effervescent ode to death is just over three minutes of good ol’-fashioned alt-pop pining. Both cutting-edge-current and also reminiscent of the dirty pop-synth-disco days of 2009 indie sleaze. It’s not hard to imagine Kate Moss smoking a cigarette out a Paris window to its charmingly laid-back beat.

The up-and-coming country music meets indie band, The Ocho released their new single ‘Stand Up Boy’ on June 28th and this new song is too good to miss. This slower song shows off this incredibly talented group’s lyric combined with an electric sound.

Shimmer ‘94 is a brand-new band from Glasgow, and are comprised of former members from Shredd, Deathcats, Faiides, Bluebirds and Las Acuarelas. Are they a “supergroup” ? Too soon to tell, but they are following up their debut single, You Must Be Getting Used to This, with So Young, a “guitar-driven, jangly power pop” summer tune about lessons they were thought when they were young and naive by their elders, but still learning things the slightly harder way.

Joshua J is not a beginner artist but on the contrary. In fact, he has already conquered the hearts of many. He grew in popularity in 2019 after releasing his first album "1998", which served as a tribute to his mother and was also a kickstart to his music career. Travelling all over the world he performed live in venues with Anderson.Paak, Saba, and Col3trane.

His latest single, ‘The Light’ (2024), adds onto their growing catalog of head-bobbing classics. Centered around a first date between himself and a possible lover, this track takes listeners through the tired desire of two people out on a date with nothing but physical attraction on their mind. 

Bratty pop-rock group, Sister Madds released their new single ‘Can’t Read Your Lips’ on May 17th and this new-generation love song undoubtably aims straight at the heart. The up-and-coming Glasgow band is best known for their support for Indie artists Connie Constance and ARXX, as well as being named on Vic Galloway of BBC Scotland’s “25 Scottish Artists to Watch in 2024”. Since their first release last January, the group has been dropping powerful singles that shed light on the difficulties of relationships, as well as the struggles this generation faces.

‘Just before you go’ is the debut single by upcoming artist Averie. Averie’s new track pushes the boundaries for alternative music. With a narrow bassline layered with jazz, Latin and percussion which takes listeners into a new groove. All this while telling the story of a romantic attraction between two people in a long-term relationship. Appealingly, the single describes not only the emotions but the physical sensations between two people.

If you are a massive football fan and were hoping this review was for a song about the French footballer player, Alexandre Lacazette, this is not that. Matty Marz’s new song, Lacazette, is more about empowering and gassing yourself up to conquer the world, as if you were a football forward for Lyon. It will put a pop in your step, while also make one curious of who’s behind it.
