STAFF PICKS
Angel Number – Fateful (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Angel Number continue to put out music that is absolutely otherworldly. Their third single “Fateful” expands on the grandiose sounds of potent synths, emotive vocals and expansive soundscapes that are making this electrogaze unit truly special.
concealer. – [tarnished | ableedingsky] (Single)
Label – Zegema Beach Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: What concealer. have offered up on “tarnished | ableedingsky” is some of the best of the current metalcore revival, succinctly moving between the heavier screamo moments, before moving into gorgeous melodic moments. Both these singles are nothing short of enchanting.
Fever Cult – Shallow (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Switching gears for something sedate, Fever Cult give us exactly that on “Shallow“. Featuring great use of 80s mainstays like chiming guitars and plucky synths, the stage is set for some excellent vocals.
Mondaze – Lines of You (Single)
Label – Bronson Recordings
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: It’s almost time for Mondaze‘s sophomore record, Linger, which is sure to follow in the footsteps of the respected Late Bloom. Here’s one last track before it drops: “Lines of You” is a slice of gazey-post punk heaven.
