🎧 Approved: Eddie 9V
Atlanta guitarist Eddie 9V spent years in metal bands before a Howlin Wolf clip changed everything. New single ‘Blowin Up’ - country-fried funk, greasy slide guitar, actual explosions - is the first taste of his Dan Auerbach-produced debut for Easy Eye Sound…

🎧 Approved: Dani Offline
Dani Offline makes some of the warmest, most carefully constructed soul music you’ll hear right now. New single ‘weary soul’ is warm, retrofuturist and genuinely affecting…

🎧 Approved: Moses Boyd
Moses Boyd is back after five years away and ‘Say Yeah’ was worth the wait - gospel-rooted, dancefloor-ready jazz with a London accent and a hook so simple it works in any language. A video made with Woolwich Creative Club has exactly the communal feel the song is about…

🎧 Approved: Kamal.
Kamal. had 250 million streams and a Dave collab before he’d even put out a debut album. That arrives 17 Jul and new single ‘Back Then’ - a voice note recorded in his childhood home turned into something genuinely hard to shake - suggests it's been worth the wait…

🎧 Approved: supermodel*
Frankie Beanie’s supermodel* makes cigarette-rasped alterna-pop. New single ‘blue monday’ trades his deadpan Tesco-meal-deal wit for something more wistful, upbeat drums and acoustic guitar settling into slacker blues about chasing someone who was never going to choose you back…

🎧 Approved: Chloé Caillet
Chloé Caillet mixes in key, thinks in harmonics, and her music is bubbly and beautiful for it. New single ‘Bad Bara’ is warm, playful house; rolling bassline, shimmering synths, the kind of track that channels a dance festival daytime set in the sun, which is exactly where Caillet tends to be…

🎧 Approved: Holy Wave
Four childhood friends from El Paso who moved to Austin after a life-altering My Bloody Valentine show in 2008, Holy Wave have spent the years since becoming one of the most satisfying underground psych-rock bands America has produced. New single ‘dewey’s dirge’ is gloriously disorientating…
