Eddi Front makes an absolutely exquisite olde worlde style of piano-accompanied songs about life, love and other feelings. We’re told she doesn’t talk much, but her music is so striking that we wanted to get to know some of the thoughts going on behind her stripped back noir-ballads. New Music …

It’s hard not to be more than a little envious of Hugo Leclercq, AKA bombastic pop producer Madeon. At eighteen, he’s already created mini-mixes for Annie Mac, reached the UK Top 40 on three separate occasions this year, and been announced as the tour support for Lady Gaga’s 2013 North …

Coves aren’t afraid to think outside the box. It’s not particularly hard, coming from Leamington Spa with a population of just 47,532. “I Googled it the other day, but don’t quote me on it”, frontwoman Beck Wood warns me. “A lot of them will have probably died in the meantime.” …

You might recognise this fluffy blonde-haired girl from a fluffy ginger-haired boy’s music video for a song called ‘Drunk’. Nina Nesbitt made a cameo appearance as Ed Sheeran’s love interest as he got inebriated with his cat and recalled flashbacks of his ex-girlfriend. Sheeran also personally invited the …

Here are some new bands we wrote about in Issue 61!
Strange Hands
The flag bearers for French music, apart from our FOB artist Madeon have been Kitsuné and Domino artists. But what about the underground? The oh-so contagious and unstoppable psychedelia trend has spread to the scene …

We first clocked on to Roses Gabor last year when SBTRKT released his much lauded debut album. Roses featured on one of the stand out tracks, ‘Pharoahs’ – her husky, playfully lush vocals had us hooked, so when she released a mixtape on her Soundcloud at the start …

Slick, eerie, electro-pop that doesn’t have its feet firmly planted in the northern hemisphere?! Yep, sounded like a myth to us too before we stumbled upon Anastasia Dimou’s Austin based creation Feathers. Having up-rooted from New York to the sweltering Texas deserts last year before capturing the ever lasting adoration …

Majors are constantly signing up their share in the talented UK grime scene; as well as Amplify Dot, EMI have adopted Bow’s own Rascals. Shizz, Tempz, Merkz, and Kay Willz are clearly quite into the letter ‘z’, and despite still being in their late teens they started this whole …

Smiler is a staple player in the UK hip hop scene, having started dabbling in music around 2005. His inspiring amounts of ambition and articulacy (demonstrated in this Freshly Squeezed interview) make him incredibly likable unlike other artists he’s likely to be clumped with (e.g. Example, Pro Green).
