🎧 Approved: Julia Jacklin

Australian songwriter Julia Jacklin makes warm, fuzzy indie-folk with a husky crackling alto. New single ‘If I Had The Hand Of God’ is cathartic and country-nodding. Album ‘The Gem’ - recorded above a Melbourne pub, with a bartender doing the band’s matching tattoos on the last day - is out Friday…

🎧 Approved: Bricknasty

Dublin collective Bricknasty sound like the version of the city that doesn’t make the tourist brochure. New single ‘honey bee’ is warm, funky and characteristically idiosyncratic, a different mood from the faith, addiction and political fury of their 2025 EP…

🎧 Approved: Girl Ultra

Mexico City’s Girl Ultra makes chrome-plated synth-funk with an 80s new-wave edge, co-produced with Chromeo. New single ‘Te Caigo’ is a manifesto for acting on desire rather than waiting around. The video involves a pink thong, a ballet fight and a Mexican lawyer…

🎧 Approved: Venus Grrrls

Northern four-piece Venus Grrrls make goth-grunge with a Nineteenth Century literary obsession and have a slightly coven-like fanbase. New single ‘Mother Knows’ is written about the myth of Mary Shelley having sex on her mother’s grave…

🎧 Approved: The Black Wizards

Porto trio The Black Wizards make garage rock with a political edge and a sharp sense of humour. New single ‘Wishing Well’ is frantic proto-punk, and their fourth album was recorded in five chaotic days after the original sessions fell through. Rough edges intact, the album will arrive on 4 Sep…

🎧 Approved: Fat Dog

South London seven-piece Fat Dog make chaotic, euphoric electro-punk-art-rock with very few rules. New single ‘Shit Love’ is stabbing synths and manic vocals. Second album ‘Cancel Me (I'm Tired)’ is out 2 Oct. They headline Brixton in the same month…

🎧 Approved: Frankie Rose

Brooklyn’s Frankie Rose makes glacial post-punk and 80s synth-pop that sits alongside Cocteau Twins or early Cure. New single ‘Manifest’ is at the darker end of that: industrial, brooding and from an album about grief…
