Best of October 2023

Wet Dream

I Don't Really Care for You

Too Late Now / Oh No

Oh No

Just Let it In

Don't Take It Personally

‘The Wailers’ (released 1st October 2023) is the first single from UK-based singer-songwriter, Man With A Corduroy Heart. 

‘The Wailers’ is a lofi-folk song, layered with jazz guitar and recorded using cassette tapes. It’s a song about becoming a dad and trying to get the baby to sleep through the music of Bob Marley. 

It’s peppered with Marley references, as the opening verse tells:  ‘Your little baby face brings out the sun / Your hand holds my finger and I think Is This Love? / But then something turns and clouds start to rain / And if I think that you’re gonna stop crying I’ll be Waiting In Vain’.

While Man With A Corduroy Heart is a new artist to 2023, the man behind it, Ryan Davies, isn’t new to the scene. By day Ryan is an audio engineer: “Unlike my day-to-day work where artists want perfect and pristine mixes, here I wanted to do one-takes and embrace unwanted noise like hissing and pops, go back to using cassettes and let the song do the work rather than the mix!”

Child Seat, the powerhouse duo formed in 2021 by Madeleine Mathews (MAWD) and Josiah Mazzaschi (Light FM, Bizou), turns pandemic setbacks into indie rock gold. With the entirety of their debut album written remotely during the pandemic, Mathews’ powerful rock vocals, reminiscent of artists like Brittany Howard/Karen O., creates a unique juxtaposition over Mazzaschi's 80's synth-heavy instrumentals and blended with MGMT/Beach House/Arctic Monkeys vibes. 
 
Child Seat encompasses both Mathews and Mazzaschi’s strengths. Mazzaschi has over 20+ years of success recording and producing artists like The Jesus and the Mary Chain, Jeff Schroeder of the Smashing Pumpkins, Deap Vally, Built to Spill, Rilo Kiley and more, as well as writing/performing for his own projects; Light FM, Motorhome, and Bizou. Mathews, who has fronted and written for numerous bands as well has won songwriting competitions, is defined by her unique vocal styling and powerful lyricism.
 
Child Seat just released their debut album in the Fall of 2022 with features from Jeff Schroeder of the Smashing Pumpkins and saxophonist Ron Dziubla (with notable features on Jon Batiste's Grammy winning album).
