Blue Foundation release amazing new dream-pop album ‘Close to the Knife’ via KØN Records. 

Listen 

Close to the Knife, The Fall, Voyage to the Stars, God Machine and Shadows of the Stars and they’re just a few of the songs from Blue Foundation. For me, everything about this screams incredible and just makes me fall for the band more and more 

Ledher Blue embroil Portugality with Irish thread on new album ‘Fait Divers’

Listen 

Elan, Rock Shandy, Rollerblades, Kreutzer and Longing, these are just a handful of tracks from Fait Divers. Once you’ve heard them, check out the rest of the album, absolutely seeping in Irish rock sounds. Joyous to listen to 

Super Market – ‘Ice Cream’ 

Watch

Definitely something of an improvement since Instant Coffee but not all debut songs are good, sometimes what’s released after is better and Ice Cream is that. A great video you can lose yourself in and the lyrics fit the mood of total relaxation. A noticeable improvement 

Rialto Share New Single ‘Neon and Ghost Signs’ and album of the same name, watch video below out on Fierce Panda

Headline show at The Scala 14th May

Watch Video to new single

As someone who grew up during the Brit Pop era of the 90’s and listened to synth music of the 80’s, Neon and Ghost Signs, is a beautiful merging of both of those sounds. A really good single and a great video as well, full of artistic visuals
