Remember that new Autoheart album Punch I was saying nice things about earlier this week? ‘Agoraphobia’ was an instant standout, and is no less impacting on repeat listens. The band have just released this whimsically poignant video to accompany the track, which they filmed themselves using only their phones. The …
Hailing from Bern, Switzerland, Pablo Nouvelle does enough on his eponymous debut album to put it this not-so musically rich area of Europe on the musical map. It might be well known for its alphorns, but notable music artists fuelled on worldwide success are not a regular occurrence. But, musician …
Ahead of their appearance at London’s Field Day this Saturday, we asked local baroque house four-piece Clean Bandit to compile a playlist of the tracks sure to be fueling their raucous live set this weekend. From their nascent inspiration by Radiohead and Ace of Base, to in vogue cuts …
With their glorious fourth album, Ultramarine – a hugely visceral, romantic re-imagining of modern synth-pop – due out on Paper Bag next week, Canadian five-piece Young Galaxy gave us an insight into the record’s Swedish production, their attempts to mix up the songwriting process this time around, and why it’s …

With their debut EP, Not Mathematics, currently causing a stir in all the right places, we asked our BOTW – Bristol alt-rockers Casimir – to put together a playlist of the tunes that have inspired their monumental, infectious indie. At 20 songs long, it’s a pretty in-depth blueprint of …
As we make quantum leaps further and further into a digital age that’s seeing the idea of the album as a conceptual work of art hacked apart by MP3 singles and the ability to download individual tracks as you please, it’s always refreshing to see an act tying their music …
