CMU Selects - last week’s standout releases

From Bauhaus meets Nine Inch Nails to Bossa Nova and Fontaines DC’s blissed-out anthems of youth, last week’s releases ran the spectrum from dark to dreamy. Here are some of last week’s releases you might have missed

CMU Selects - last week’s standout releases

Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy’s and Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor’s new single ‘Swoon’

With its driving percussion and expansive sound, this track captures both vocalists in their element, their bass-heavy tones merging into something dark, intense and perfectly in sync.

Cosmic Crooner’s new single ‘Rebeccula’

A sepia-tinged Bossa Nova, this track tells the story of romance gone wrong, inspired by a friend’s cheeky remark about a woman named Rebecca. Proof that a little pub gossip can spark a whole song.

Yung Lean’s new single ‘Forever Yung’

With a plodding beat and a unique cadence that strays from conventional rap, ‘Forever Yung’ bleeds into multiple genres to create a sound that’s unmistakably Lean.

Fontaines DC’s new single ‘It's Amazing To Be Young’

A blissed-out dose of nostalgia and their first new music since last summer’s album ‘Romance’. Accompanied by a tender video that completes the cinematic trilogy, bringing together Martin (Ewan Mitchell) from the previous video for ‘In The Modern World’ and Spider (Grace Collender) from the video for ‘Here’s The Thing’ in an unlikely yet beautifully surreal love story.

Ezra Collective’s new single ‘Body Language’, featuring Sasha Keable

A Latin American-inspired anthem featuring Colombian South London artist Sasha Keable. It’s the perfect cure for the dreary weather that’s been hanging over the UK recently.
