November 1 2013 - Hot Top Ten

LACED - BRIAN
Formed in late 2011, the Warpaint/Smashing Pumpkins inspired five-piece have spent 2013 unveiling, spasmodically, little tasters - like this latest here - and adding to their fanbase with live shows on their Birminghsm home turf.





NOIR - FEEL
Another from the highly promising West Midlands stable. Little known (as yet) about this new shoegaze outfit who formed this year. Though still in their infancy they have already picked up airplay on Amazing Radio, so a name to keep tabs on.





SATCHMODE - OLD FEARS
LA duo with an ambient synth dream-pop soundscape.





ECSTASY - EXHALE
We first wrote about and spoke to Ecstasy back in January - read their first ever interview HERE - and while they've kept a low profile over the course of the year, we feel 2014 could just strike the right note for them.





THE FAUNS - SEVEN HOURS
Five-piece Bristolian shoegazers give a taste of their forthcoming second album Lights (out December 2) with this hypnotic work of wailing guitars, hazy drones and the soothing vocal of Alison Garner.

FORMES - INSIDE I'VE FLOWN
A slice of psych from the West Yorks crew who we featured HERE as Track Of The Day.






TAYALA - STAY
Hull-based quartet who formed last year. Vibrant indie pop, as displayed on this release which came out on October 17.





JOEL HOOD - FOLLOW THE FOOL
Soulful electronica from the artist we introduced HERE a few days ago. Whether or not this genre is your thing, this is one helluva song.





MT - ALPHA ROMEO
With such a catchy hook line in 'Romeo used to be my call sign', this could take the mysterious MT to heights as forged by Swim Deep with 'King City's' 'Jenny Lee Lindberg is my girlfriend'. Interestingly, the B-side, ‘77’, was produced by Charlie Huggall who worked with Swim Deep.





WINDBREAKER - BREEDERS
Full on track from Bostonian Darin Thompson. Follows online surfacing demos earlier this year, resulting in debut release ‘I Hate My Soul’. Now comes a raw, post-punk EP, 'Never Let Go', out November 11.
