the brand new single from Narwhals “Moor Fires“, featuring Thē Jaffa, will be released on the Friday 14th of June.
following their gig at Night and Day, their new single releases at midnight, it’s an intricate and telling tale of wanting, coupled with their signature image-inducing lyricism and atmospheric musicianship. another incredible tune under their belts!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from VALA “Fishing God“! 👊
we’ve covered VALA a bunch over the past year or so and we’re always blown away by the quality of their tunes, so many belters and they’ve got a super unique sound; and when we caught them live at The Deaf Institute they were incredible, a brilliant night. 😊
this new EP only continues this trend, with a couple of tracks that we’re already huge fans of, and a few new ones thrown in there too! their lo-fi indie pop sound is on full force here, with lush guitar tones throughout and feelgood upbeat vibes – set to a lovely laidback atmosphere. the opener “Change Your Mind” is one of the new ones, and it sounds incredible, a real show of their unique style. amazing! well worth checking out, a bunch of great tunes! 🎶
“Happening Like You“, the brand new single from Scatterchild, releases on the 31st of May 2024.
after the success of the last single, Scatterchild returns with a stripped back, raw, and intimate track – his vocals soaring above a gorgeous piano and cello combination, delivering his story of a breakup in his signature fashion. cello courtesy of the fantastic Isabel Williamson Music!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Keddy Sowels “Reflection“!
a regular face here in Manchester, he’s been performing across the city at gigs and open mics and already has some lovely tunes out – well worth checking them out; and his brand new single here marks a different direction for the indie-rock artist. 🎸
“Reflection” is more of an electronic track, moving away from the guitar-based indie anthemic tone of his previous tracks, with synths and electronic drums making their way to the forefront of the tune – and with less singing, more rapping – it shows a different side to his music. 🎶 still maintaining the political and social commentary of his earlier tracks, it’s a stark look at the state of current society.
the latest release on the label, “have you heard of olivia browse?” by our very own Olivia Browse has been out for a month!
we’re blown away by all the support for it, so many people listening and hearing so much great things about it – big love to everyone who’s checked it out a huge shout to Shtum on production, Stakes for the feature and Parkridge Recording Company for mix/master to make this all come together
today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new release “A Moment of Clarity” from Black Brunswicker! ✨
we love Ethan’s music, always a pleasure to listen to it and we’ve had them perform for us a bunch – with spellbinding performances and such intrinsically crafted sets, they’re well worth catching live! 👊
this new EP is a fantastic show of their talent, with magical scenes and soundscapes throughout the full release, it’s a joy to listen to; so serene and peaceful, with gorgeous melodies leading the way on each of the tracks, and luscious atmospheres behind them – each element perfectly placed to balance to one another, proving Black Brunswicker’s ear for not only an effective melody, but also the knowledge of how to utilise what is next, and create a gorgeous backdrop for their music. an incredible release – one of our favourites is “Olde Magicks” – giving us rainy forest walking vibes! 🌙
