🎧 Approved: Sylo

Rooted in alt-R&B, Toronto-born Korean-Canadian artist Sylo crafts music that edges into pop and electronic territory, always anchored in feeling. His new single, ‘Carve Me Out’, blends the spectral textures of The xx with the weight of a pop ballad…

🎧 Approved: For Nina

For Nina aren’t in the business of big statements. Not yet, anyway. But their new single ‘Swallow’ (released today) doesn’t ask for your attention so much as quietly consume it. Think Slowdive, but with an Irish lilt…

🎧 Approved: Shreea Kaul

Shreea Kaul slips past easy genre lines, sitting in the space between late-night honesty and sharp-eyed control. It's soft-edged R&B that doesn’t mind getting a little weird. New single ‘Crooked Salesman’ starts out hazy and alluring, then shifts under your feet…

🎧 Approved: Cardinals

Cork five-piece Cardinals channel a monochrome, windswept kind of nostalgia - equal parts shoegaze, Irish trad, and shadowy rock and roll romanticism. New single ‘Big Empty Heart’ is a gothic patchwork of shanty-leaning balladry and poetry-drenched punk…

🎧 Approved: Greta Isaac

Welsh-born, London-based Greta Isaac is a surreal, sugar-rushed blast of alt-pop. New single ‘Soft Scoop Talking Do’ introduces Dolly: Greta’s chaotic, art-pop alter ego who appars through a vape haze with a wink. It’s weird, wired and irresistibly fun…

🎧 Approved: Joviale

London-based artist Joviale crafts portal-like songs; chaptered, strangely sweet selves. New single ‘HARK!’, from debut album ‘Mount Crystal’, is a sinister funk centrepiece: swaggering vocals over rubbery bass, angular strums and unruly beats…

🎧 Approved: Ain’t

Pulling from post-punk, shoegaze and 90s indie, South London’s Ain’t map out a sound that’s tense, slightly off-centre, but always measured. On new single ‘Jude’, guitars blur into texture, vocals drift in and out of focus, and atmosphere quietly takes the lead over melody…

🎧 Approved: SCALER

Brutalist and bruising, SCALER’s sound feels traditionally Bristolian with its immense low-end pressure tempered by subdued spatial stretches that drift and sprawl. New single ‘Salt’, featuring Akiko Haruna, pushes that even further; every bit as focused and feral as you’d hope…
