Cameron Vincent – Beyond Me
Originally from a quiet village in Lancashire Cameron Vincent moved to Manchester to pursue his career in music, finding his alternative pop sound. ‘Beyond Me’ has a vast collection of Keys and Synths bringing a hypnotic, trance like, futuristic vibe. The chorus bring stylistically pleasing repetition adding to the addictive brilliance. Incorporating beats towards the […]
PILLARS – Circa
Synth, pop and more synth – “Circa” is the album to listen to this Summer. Independent artist PILLARS is a multi-talented artist, the soundscape is beautifully constructed so as to perfectly compliment the floaty, angellic vocals. There’s a homely feel about the tracks, as well as a fresh approach to some more common subjects. Check out […]
Marc Mata – Take Me Back Home
Some beautiful acoustic guitar picking, just what I needed in the middle of a thunderstorm! Mata’s voice is one of a kind, nestled beneath a soundscape of the aforementioned picking and some panned-left electric guitar sound, getting the balance just right. “Take me back home” he pleads, as some heavier guitar work emphasises the need. […]
The Zolas – Come Back to Life
The Zolas’ new single is the “latest in a series of Wong Kar-Wai-inspired lyric vignettes to accompany each Z Day release.” They state, “we’ve been fans of Wong Kar-Wai for years, especially his punkier 90s movies like Fallen Angels, and had always chatted socially with the Amazing Factory guys about doing something together one day […]
Ben Stafford – As One
Recorded at Stafford’s home in Lancashire, his new single “As One” is now available on all streaming platforms. Holywell Beach in Cornwall was in his mind when he wrote this song, and it definitely has all the qualities of a fantastic summer song. Stafford grew up listening to the likes of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, […]

Ellie Moon – Kylie Jenner
Ellie Moon’s (what an awesome name, right?) debut E.P came out on June 26th, called “MOONiSMS”. Her brand new single “Kylie Jenner” is definitely a track to watch. Her narratives and tone are everyday-speech styled, reminiscent of early Nina Nesbitt, but fit perfectly within wittiness, “You don’t need to keep up with Kylie” the chorus […]
Zeth Hex – Deflowered
Rich vocals are captivating with intricate lyricism which adds a strong depth to the track. The vocals are recorded in a question and answer way, it’s cleverly done as Zeth Hex overlays his own voice which then follows on to the next verse. The overlap in vocals adds an mesmerising, different way of recording. The following […]
BEESIGHDUH – Mime Games
The following interview is with Julia Clark the front woman of BEESIGHDUH, drummer John Purkey worked alongside on drums recording his parts from Washington. “Mime Games” is about being bored of life’s questions, spiritual questions, etc— The whole ‘why are we here’ thing. It’s also autobiographical and like every song I write, has multiple meanings […]
