Marissa Nadler tends toward the moody and ethereal, layered angelic vocals with a dark undercurrent in Allessi Brothers cover. For “Seabird,” off her forthcoming EP The Wrath of the Clouds (a companion piece to last year’s full-length The Path of the Clouds) she ups the energy a bit, turning this soft-rock hit into a swooning indie-pop number.

With a pair of unsuccessful singles under their belt and the label breathing down their necks for a hit, The Kinks entered the studio in the summer of 1964 knowing they needed to make their next record count. They pulled it off in a big way with “You Really Got Me,” which made its U.K. debut on Aug. 4, 1964.
The song was an immediate sensation, shooting up the charts and claiming the top spot for two weeks in September. While it didn’t reach quite as high in other countries, “You Really Got Me” was a huge worldwide hit, making the Top 40 in Germany, Italy and France, and breaking into the Top 10 in Ireland, Canada and the U.S., where it peaked at No. 7. By the time the single had run its course, the Kinks were famous.
With her soaring voice, Kanye West affiliate Danielle Balbuena, AKA 070 Shake, has a knack of investing productions with boundless freedom. She cracks West’s 2018 track Ghost Town wide open with a yearning, melodic nostalgia, and on her 2020 debut Modus Vivendi, the New Jersey-born rapper croons through everything from forlorn synthpop to bass-heavy rhythm.
On the heels of her successful album tour 070 Shake shares a new visualizer for the album track, “Blue Velvet”, directed by her creative companions, C.O.R.E. The new visual directly follows her highly-anticipated sophomore album, You Can’t Kill Me, released to widespread acclaim from critics and fans alike via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Recordings earlier this month.
In 2000 when 2-D, Noodle, Murdoc Niccals and Russel Hobbs poked their (virtual) snout into the first Gorillaz EP, Tomorrow Comes Today. We discovered fascinating biographies behind each character, a new mythology for worshipers of electronic music, classy phrasing and weird R&B and later in 2005 we found out that Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett were the almighty creators behind it all. Now, in 2022, after some albums they have shared their new track, ‘Cracker Island’.

A lot has changed since Alex, Sam and Kevin, three teenagers from Northern Ireland who shared the same passion for music, started stumbling around as a band looking for exposure on MySpace, like many other early bands in the 2000’s. Now, those three buddies are Two Door Cinema Club.
More than a decade of career proving that they are evolving towards synthpop experimentation. All this without abandoning the spirit of the indie-rock trio so evident in their identity as a band.
Set for release on 2nd September, Two Door Cinema Club have announced their fifth studio album ‘Keep On Smiling’, revealing first single ‘Wonderful Life’ alongside the news.
