Packed full of raw passion and talent, the whimsical bedroom pop sweetheart Alberto Garcia (AKA Alien Tango) is one to watch out for in 2020. Raised in Murica, Spain and currently based in London, Alien Tango brings you some of the grooviest and tantalising DIY tunes.
Influenced by the likes of Foxygen, MGMT, Hinds, Alien Tango is just about one of the wildest and most mischievous oddballs in the DIY music scene. His latest single ’Heavenly’ is pure bliss.
Loose Fit are part of Sydney’s underground music scene, a confederacy of nutters, vagabonds, and wayward souls. Leaning towards post-punk in their skewed indie rock sound, the band’s precocious live shows have caused real hype in both hemispheres.
Fat Cat Records will release the group’s self-titled debut EP, and it’s set to land on April 3rd. Driven forward by Anna Langdon’s charismatic vocals, her unrelenting focus provides fresh intensity for Loose Fit‘s guitar squall. New single ‘Black Water’ deals with inner anxieties,
The London trio PVA brings together musicians Ella Harris, Josh Baxter, and Louis Satchell in service of danceable art-school pop music combining bits of disco, house, synthpop, new wave, dance-punk, et al. Their latest jam, “Divine Intervention,” is arriving via super-producer Dan Carey’s ever-reliable Speedy Wunderground label (which previously brought us Black Midi, Squid, and Black Country, New Road among others) with production by Carey himself.

It’s been eight years since Angel Deradoorian abandoned her stint with Dirty Projectors to pursue a solo career. Since, she’s made several guest appearances for artists like Flying Lotus, Brandon Flowers and Rostam (who, little-known fact, was also a member of the Projectors alongside Ezra Koenig way back in the day). Tuesday, Deradoorian announced her first full-length since signing to ANTI-, Find the Sun, the follow-up to her 2015 album The Expanding Flower Plant. The record is set for release on May 22.
After releasing “Must I Evolve,” last May, Jarv Is, fronted by former Pulp leader Jarvis Cocker, has just released a new single, “House Music All Night Long.”
Unlike the moodier sound of “Must I Evolve,” “House Music All Night Long” is much more playful and will get you instantly dancing around your living room… or wherever you plan to listen to it. This is the latest single off the Jarv Is’ upcoming album, Beyond the Pale, which is due out on May 1.
British quartet Glass Animals definitely had tensions running high since the end of last year when they began releasing new material in the form of Tokyo Drifting, and they prove that they’ve got much more gas in their tank as they share yet another banger with Your Love (Déjà Vu). Oozing with charm and covert sensuality, it’s a passionate and heart-pumping track that blends ardent electronics with sly bass-lines that tantalise and tease. The single hints at what we can expect from the band in their coming third studio album, the details of which are being highly anticipated.
