This week is packed with new music releases from a variety of artists, including Dead Chic, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS, BERRIES, The Ocelots, and more! Get ready to discover your new favorite song or album.

DEAD CHIC tease forthcoming debut album with powerful, luminous and epic ‘Fortune’!

Straight from the beginning Fortune just has that edge and strength to it and the coarse vocals burst through. It’s like a burst of energy that just cannot be contained. The raspiness sweeps straight through 

Listen ‘Fortune’

“Fortune” is out now

Debut Dead Chic album “Serenades & Damnation” is out 8th November 2024.

Dead Chic will perform an acoustic duo showcase at Rough Trade West on 12th November at 5pm.

Phonseca return to tease sophomore album with pulsating synth-pop epic ‘Staring At The Sea’!

A good video and enjoyable to watch to. Just a straight up recording of the duo themselves and no-one else. I’ve not heard of Phonseca till now but am impressed with Staring at the Sea

Watch ‘Staring At The Sea’

Staring At The Sea” is out now via the Old Bad Habits Label.

Catch Phonseca playing live in all their glory at The Louisana in Bristol on 27th October. Get tickets here

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS release “Lazy” 7inch Vinyl!

Compared to some of their earlier material which I do remember hearing, Lazy does sound different compared. Though it does have its upbeat sounds and happy and jolly lyrics it’s not something I could listen to on a loop

Listen ‘Lazy’

BERRIES – Release Fierce “Jagged Routine” Single || From Imminent New Album ‘BERRIES’ (18 Oct)

Not heard from BERRIES in a while so it’s nice to hear from them again. Following on from Watching Wax, Jagged Routine is a good continuation from that. The all-female rock trio are coming into them 

Overall, a great single to follow up with, and to top it off they’re on tour later this month

The Ocelots Announce New Album, ‘Everything When Said Slowly’ and UK/IE Tour Dates!

Release Date: Feb 7th, 2025

First single ‘About You’ – Listen / Download Now

I enjoy the soft vocals as it gives it that almost ghostly feel, almost like the guys are singing right into your ear. The melody of the track just glides gently with a soft acoustic edge. Quite like it

Watch ‘About You’

Take two guitarists, one providing backing vocals, a drummer and a front man with a softly smooth vocals plus a little bit of creativity and what do you get? The Ocelots video for About You. Not heard of these guys before but already liking them
