Listen :: Montauk Hotel - Stains

Words: Sam Geary

Dublin indie-pop four-piece Montauk Hotel return with their latest single ‘Stains’.

Once again utilising their penchant for infectiously inspired melodies and Claudia Verdecchia enticing reverbed .vocals, ‘Stains’ is a reflection on collective memory and on history continuously repeating itself, teamed with the group's trademark shimmery guitar sound.

Catch live at The Harbour Bar in Bray, Co. Wicklow on November 8.

Track Of The Day :: Foreign Air - In The Shadows

Words: Sam Geary

Comparisons to Glass Animals and Alt-J are not going to harm North Carolina duo Foreign Air any. After making their debut last November with 'Free Animal', they now unleash new single 'In The Shadows'.

Released last Friday and taken from their upcoming EP, 'Youth Is Sad', the alt-pop pair, Jacob Michael and Jesse Clasen, manage to combine soulful vocals and lyrical depth with a haunting undercurrent of lush percussion and danceable electro-pop.
