MANOR - GRAND MAL

Duff's layered vocals mingle with reverb-washed guitars and and hypnotic drums.




CROWS - UNWELCOME LIGHT

LAVENDER - HONEY
Five-minute psych debut from new Salford/Manchester outfit. Grab a taste of what's to come in this sweetly fragrant first demo from the five-piece who formed last autumn.




FRONTEERS - IDOL
New psych-infused reverbed Cam Blackwood-produced single, out now from the Hull four 19-year-olds. “It’s about when you’ve been over thinking something; sending yourself mad,” says vocalist Andy Towse. “It’s that voice inside your head telling you to stop but you’re just not hearing it.”




ECHOS - TOMORROW
Released this week, the Portland (Oregon)-based production/DJ duo - Tal Richards and Lexi Norton - follow ‘Silhouettes’ with this melodically sparse, vocally hypnotic, brooding electronica single.

HEATH - THE OUTLINE OF YOU
Lead single from second EP 'June' (released April 29) by the Brighton three-piece outfit - their first since 2015 debut 'Give Me Over'. 'Pained crooner Tom' (as they described to us here last year) presides over layered melodies. On UK tour throughout April.




DANTEVILLES - SEA OF CHANGE
