🎧 Approved: Umut Adan

Turkish singer-songwriter Umut Adan and his Italian band Zebânis have a sound they coin “danceable dissent”. New single ‘Bogotà’ is a hypnotic protest anthem, fusing Anatolian psych with the communal pulse of cumbia…

🎧 Approved: Glom

There’s no gloom in Glom, instead we get shimmering riffs, 90s-leaning alt-rock choruses and shoegaze haze, with the tight rhythms of late 80s post-punk. With ‘Mirror’ he’s written one of his most frank songs, yet it remains unashamedly melodic and uplifting…

🎧 Approved: Westerman

Westerman, the project of Will Westerman, lives somewhere between folk and chamber pop; saint-like but playful in its textures. New single ‘About Leaving’ from upcoming album ‘A Jackal’s Wedding’ leans into all of that with a soft power…

🎧 Approved: Annabelle Chairlegs

Annabelle Chairlegs has a subtle noirish romanticism, classic and bluesy but with a touch of tongue-in-cheek sensibility that hints at the salt and grit beneath the sugar. New single, ‘Ice Cream On The Beach’, captures that mix of lusty, distracted, hair-twirling energy…

🎧 Approved: Domina

Drawing on the cool restraint of Lebanon Hanover and the hushed dreaminess of Beach House, Domina shape something affecting, yet in no hurry to reveal everything at once. New single ‘Snake’ - the final single ahead of a debut EP - is an understated gem…

🎧 Approved: corto.alto

Led by trombonist, producer and sonic experimenter Liam Shortall, corto.alto has been steadily pulling jazz into new territories. New single ‘VANDAL’ opens with punchy live brass and percussion before bleeding into textures that belong more to Berlin’s club culture than a jazz conservatoire…

🎧 Approved: Genesis Owusu

Genesis Owusu debut album ‘Smiling With No Teeth’ was a transcendent blueprint for modern hip hop; a fearless exploration of identity, experimenting with funk, punk and rap. On new single ‘PIRATE RADIO’ he once again refuses to assimilate and redraws the boundaries of his own sound…
