🎧 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…

🎧 Approved: Drumfish

Johannesburg’s Drumfish emerged in September 2020 into a local scene still reeling from pandemic-induced silence. Their sound is a mean churn of garage scuzz. It’s jagged, fuzzy and feral in all the right places, capturing a band still very much on the edge, but now with teeth bared…

🎧 Approved: Nina Cobham

Nina Cobham is a Manchester-based artist blending English indie pop with gentle bossa nova, shaped by her bilingual upbringing. New single ‘I’m The Problem’ pairs soft, airy vocals with an undercurrent of frustration; a quietly powerful moment of clarity…

🎧 Approved: nabeel (نبيل)

nabeel (نبيل)’s lyrics carry the compact intensity of Arabic poetry, set against a backdrop of shoegaze and slowcore influences of Richmond, Virginia. New single ‘yalma يلمع’ is a meditation on ephemerality and the ache of belonging when suspended between two worlds.…
