London-based duo APRE have just unveiled their debut single All Yours, a captivating indie cut with infectious pop sensibilities. Lyrically the song captures the intensity of that point where you are ready to give yourself to someone entirely. Musically, too, APRE twist those most intimate moments into widescreen, alternative pop, drawing equal inspiration from the likes of Foals or Bombay Bicycle Club as red-blooded 80s pinups like Tears for Fears and ABC.
Dream Pop duo Beach House have released a new video for the song “Dark Spring” a track taken off their upcoming7th album 7, which is set to be released via Sub Pop records on May 11th. The video, directed by Zia Anger is shot in stark black and white, with many of its shots and edits recalling classic film noir movies.
Musically speaking the song is a more uptempo affair, riding a bubbling synth line and an urgent drum pattern. As usual, the icy vocals of Victoria Legrand and the winding guitar work of Alex Scally take center stage, giving the song an epic sense of feel. They will visit Primavera Sound this next spring.
Listening to Matt Maltese‘s music is like looking through an eclectic wardrobe, where vintage accessories sit happily next to brand new pink suits. You can hear the Leonard Cohen running through it, but you can also hear the more contemporary influences of the current booming South London scene at play.
The strength in his latest track “Greatest Comedian” is the striking and exceptionally clever songwriting, where Maltese is both a storyteller, narrating from the sidelines with sardonic aptitude, but also something of a hopeless romantic that sits at the heart of it all.
Since their 2011 debut, Torches, Foster the People have been putting out alternative rock tracks with catchy hooks and danceable beats. However, if the singles they’ve released so far from their third studio album, Sacred Hearts Club, are any indication, that’s all about to change. The band dropped another new song , titled “Sit Next to Me,” and it continues to paint Sacred Hearts Club in the same colors that all of their most recent releases have. It’s a bright, uplifting, and shamelessly fun dance tune that finds equal inspiration in psychedelic 60s music and the most prominent pop trends of today.
