New Sounds #83 August 13 2016




THE PLASTIC ATTRACTION - HOLDING YOU
Out on August 26, the debut single from the Perth, Australia quartet, channelling 90s rock with a fresh flavour of rich harmonies, and hi-fi guitar. Star rating: ★★




CALLUM PICKARD & THE THIRD LOOK - FOLLOW THE SIGN
Released last week, the Tame Impala-like Coventry dreampop merchant (formerly of Absent Friends) fields new band combo with this mellow ditty that glides easily through the ears.
Star rating: ★★★




THEN THICKENS - HEAVEN ALIVE
Chorley’s Then Thickens run another cut from 2015’s ‘Colic’ album, this time the big opening track released on August 19 via Hatch Records. Slow building guitars and infectious piano hooks work neatly around Jon-Lee Martin’s vocals. Star rating: ★★★




DUCHESS SAYS - I REPEAT MYSELF
The Montreal quartet turn out some 70s vibed disco-punk on this infectious Moog new single - with vocalist Annie-Claude DeschĂȘnes sounding like a latterday Siouxsie Sioux - taken from their third album 'Sciences Nouvelles' out on October 14 via Slovenly / Bonsound. Star rating: ★★★★☆




SHVLLOWS - ZURICH
Edinburgh electro-synth quartet whip up some big melodies in this uplifting pop single, released on September 16 via Choose Rude Records, the follow-up to April's debut 'Shake'. Star rating: ★★★★☆
