Track Review Junior Boys, the Canadian electro duo consisting of Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus, are back with Underneath the Moon, the first single from their upcoming album The Gore – the follow-up to 2022’s Waiting Game.

It’s a Style Sport – Shabazz Palaces
Album Review Ishamel Butler is back with It’s a Style Sport, the eighth studio album under moniker Shabazz Palaces and follow up to 2017’s Exotic Birds of Prey. I’ve been a fan of Shabazz Palaces since I heard Shine A Light from Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star in 2017. Since then Buter’s strange space…

Blue – Girl in Red
Norwegian singer-songwriter Girl in Red is back (or should it really be Girl in Blue now, following her name change on socials?) with a new single, Blue. I was first introduced to Girl in Red through 2018’s We Fell in Love in October, which quickly became one of my favourite songs of that year. Since…

Songs From The Wedding Cake – Blossoms
Blossoms are back with their latest album Songs From the Wedding Cake, the follow-up to 2024’s Gary. Having followed the band since their debut in 2016, over the years it has become more and more apparent that Blossoms are a good – not great band. A solid offering from the wave of indie guitar bands…
