JEEN – JUST SHADOWS

JEEN’s new song, “Just Shadows”, proves to be the perfect introduction to her upcoming ten-track album. With its quick and frantic pace, the lead single transports listeners to the sweaty, communal nights in packed underground clubs, where the band’s electrifying presence makes everyone feel like a unified entity.

Hollow Graves – High Exposure

Hollow Graves delves into the intoxicating effects of attention and fame in their thought-provoking song “High Exposure”, shedding light on the prevalent behaviour and choices influenced by the pursuit of self-publicity in today’s artist landscape.

While recognising the importance of self-promotion, the band acknowledges the temptation to deceive and conceal one’s true self to uphold a public persona, ultimately hindering personal growth and self-discovery. “High Exposure” serves as a commentary on the pitfalls of dishonesty and the impact it has on individuals within the music industry and beyond.

Bella Moore – Benny Valentine

“Benny Valentine” showcases Bella at her best: with ethereal vocals gliding over distorted guitars and resonant drums. This hauntingly beautiful and fuzzed-out track explores a encounter with the enigmatic figure, Benny Valentine. The lyrics evoke a sense of fascination with the mysterious character, while the eerie atmosphere of the song paints a vivid picture of the complexities within the captivating meeting. Grappling with attraction and resistance, Bella’s internal conflict amplifies the overall sense of uncertainty that permeates the track, creating a unique blend of nightmare and dream-like elements. Bella describes “Benny Valentine” as a love song that encapsulates a feeling of doom and eternity, emphasizing the importance of living in love rather than fear.

Mipso – The Numbers

Mipso’s latest track “The Numbers” is a splashy, 60s surf rock-inspired gem that takes a rhythmic and wry approach to critique the market-obsessed culture prevalent in American society. The band explores how the daily obsession with economic figures became a quasi-religious observance for the ruling class.

Fiddler and vocalist Libby’s experience of hearing a voter prioritise the stock market’s performance over presidential candidates led her to reflect on the disconnect between financial success and the lived experiences of ordinary people. This contemplation laid the foundation for the groovy and slick sound of the new song.
