STALGIA - IN THE TREES
Los Angeles electronic duo - Lauren Day and Brandon Leslie - follow-up last year's 'Rust' with this downtempo, melodic number, combining R&B elements with muted trap beats, along with Day’s magnetic vocals. Star rating: 3.5/5
FIELD MOUSE - THE ORDER OF THINGS

COLOUR - KEROSENE

TWO PEOPLE - IF WE HAVE TIME
The duo, Phoebe Lou and Joey Clough, formed out of the ashes of Australian outfit Snakadaktal, unveil this second tune, built around a slow-build of melancholic melodies that break out with the introduction of gauzy vocal flourishes, intricate percussion, and airy synths. Star rating: 4.5/5
THE DEADLINE SHAKES - SHELTERS
Glasgow seven-piece share the single cut from their debut album ‘Zealots’, out August 26 on digital via Scottish label Flowers In The Dustbin.
