Local Natives are an indie band hailing from Silver Lake, LA, and they come with an extensive repertoire of music under their belt. Their 2016 track 'Coins' offers such diversity within its 5 minutes of being that it just had to be our track of the day. It opens up with some stand-alone guitar, that is soon embellished with clever vocals, as lead singer Taylor Rice replicates his voice to match the strumming. The rest of the track is composed of haunting, lamenting vocals and

The track of the day is this immensely powerful track, mixed in with an element of funk. Teddy Sinclair's voice is reminiscent of Amy Winehouse, and evokes the same sass and independence that's so prominent in Winehouse's work. Cruel Youth has an incredible repertoire of work, and each track diverges from the other in sound. However, this track in particular is perfect for this rainy Sunday.

Matt Millz is known for his capturing vocals and indie tracks, the perfect music to chill out to. However, his track 'Follow You Home' has been taken in an entirely different direction by producers Melt & NYG who remixed the track and took it to a whole new place. If described, the remix would sound like a antithetical mess, a clashing mixture of both sensual spa music and indie vocals, yet in the remix, somehow Melt & NYG made it work. The instrumentals themselves are entran

The latest in upcoming music is the two-man band 'Bad Feelings'. Hailing from LA, the duo's single 'Do You Wanna Get High' is bound to get big with the impressive vocal range and instrumental diversity. The song is a power infused alt pop ballad, with some deep male vocals that also strike a serious high note. A song remnant of youth, fantasising about drugs, sex and recklessness. It's one of those songs you listen to and dwell upon an infinite amount of possibilities, a lul

Summer may almost be over, but it doesn't mean that the catchiest song to recently appear can't become the summer's top hit. RAC, popular for their remix of London Grammar's 'Strong' and Odeza's 'We Belong' have paired with the Coolwater Set, popular for their hit 'Up To No Good' to release the fusion track 'The Coast'; a turbulent ride that mixes dance, deep drops and entrancing vocals into one cool track. The track also features Jvzel, an emerging artist with sultry vocals

Surging onto the scene at this year’s Grammy Awards were the relatively unknown ‘Highly Suspect’. I’d been a fan of the band for a couple of months prior and their Grammy debut was a great reminder of the support for lesser known music, bringing such talented artists into the public eye. The band are renowned for the deep, husky vocals of Johnny Stevens who fronts the band, and the heavy rock undertones that are prominent in the band’s tracks, particularly ‘Bloodfeather’ and

Immediately upon hearing LUH’s ‘I&I’ you are captured by the husky, penetrative vocals of ‘Wu Lyf’s’ Ellery James Roberts. This gnarling sound is both animalistic and angelic, bearing a tarnished sound of hope and release. Paired with the ethereal, wispier voice of Ebony Hoorn a beautiful, dichotomous track is born. The voices are so powerful on their own; therefore, it could be argued that they could not combine in a harmonious way. This is completely unfounded, as the voice

Aaricia recently came onto the scene with her first EP, ‘The Ruler’; I reviewed her debut track, also titled ‘The Ruler’ and was keen to hear more. Before ‘The Ruler’ the only song available was a beautiful rendition of Travis Scott’s ‘Drugs You Should Try Them’ which Aaricia blended with her sensual vocals and trippy backing music. ‘The Ruler’ however is a completely new sound and combines sultry vocals with powerful, message invoking lyrics and an array of deep, dark and el

Aaricia, a Montreal based artist has released her new EP entitled ‘The Ruler’, but here I'm examining the debut title track from her EP; a dark visual accentuating the dualism of dominance and submission in regards to love, sex and power. The classic theme of an indecisive love song is given another dimension due to the dominatrix element of the track and the forbidding imagery used in the visual. This is in alignment with the whole EP, with songs such as ‘Blow’ and ‘In The D

Fire is a theme focussed upon by Foy Vance, with ‘Into The Fire’ and ‘She Burns’ two of his most wonderful musical offerings. The notion of fire addresses a variety of themes, from passion to destruction, forgetting and the inability to take your gaze away from the wonder in front of you. ‘Into The Fire’ was released a while ago, back in 2012 but never really got the media focus it deserves. A haunting melody with a beautifully eerie sound remnant of Bon Iver and soft instrum
