THE SLEEPING SOULS – Release “Remember Boann” Video

Ahead of Lost Evenings VII

Sleeping Souls always seem to know how to make something beautiful, whether it be a song or video. And I quite like Remember Boann and the video they’ve made for it.

Nothing over the top, no visual effects, just shots of the band doing their own thing. They’ve even added cut-outs of the accompanying lyrics so you can singalong. 

Watch – Remember Boann 

DEBUT ALBUM:

‘JUST BEFORE THE WORLD STARTS BURNING’

AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS “BIG DREAMS” NEW SINGLE & VIDEO

Nov I haven’t been listening to that much from Amy and co for a while but so far am enjoying what she’s been making. Big Dreams is a great track and is quickly growing on me.

The video definitely holds an appeal and has that visual sense of getting away from something and heading towards a new place and enjoying the thrill of it.

Dermakus Lewis – Werk to Do 

Now I only just heard of this guy recently, very recently. Last night in fact as I was putting this review together and from the moment I heard I just knew I had to talk about it.

All the way from Dallas in Texas this House Music maestro has whipped up a sensational dance number here. Just stick it on, turn up the volume and just lose yourself to the music 

Listen 

Indiana – Solo Dancing 

Now I had the joy of seeing this Nottingham artist when she first performed at a New Music event in Nottingham and haven’t fallen out of love with her work ever since.

Solo Dancing is about going out, having a good time and losing yourself to the pleasuring sounds of music and not caring who’s watching
