Listening Post: Batch 531

Pluto

Falling From Your Grace

On The Back Foot

Meer

Meer (Haiku Salut Remix)

‘The Man at the Party’ a striking alt hip hop dialogue between B and one of ‘those’ guys at a party…
You know the fella. Kinda offended by a woman having the temerity to disagree/ correct him/ have her own opinion. It’s a confrontation and catharsis in song form!

The Man at the Party

Beast Mode

Basics of Life

Ole Dum

Every Loss

Learn To Surf

This nostalgic hit will bring you back to the 80s with its synth melodies, electric guitar solo and punchy rhythm! It is an honest love song, full of energy to fight for the love and overcome the crisis. It is a blast from the past, yet modern single, which can become your favourite!

No Time To Say Goodbye

Neev -  Dianne

Selfless

On 26 June 2024, Bristol-based contemporary folk project Fritillaries will release Thank God I Have The Songs (Cuculi Records), launching a new era for songwriter Hannah Pawson as a solo artist. Following widespread praise for her self-titled debut album in 2022, including Folk Radio’s Album of the Month and a nomination for FATEA’s Debut Album of the Year, this highly anticipated second release was recorded in collaboration with producer Rowan Elliott (Tamsin Elliott & Tarek Elazhary/Hands of the Heron) at The Roost in Bristol.

Harvest Moon

Leave Me Now

Two guys writing and recording remotely because events have conspired to keep them many miles apart. For now.

The Privacy Of Rooms (Radio Edit) - Master

last single off my 2nd EP, messages !! hope u enjoy :)

i was in the bathroom counting tiles
to find a way to talk to someone my size
the light flickers above me as i make my move
self imposed rejection, as i look at you

and i’ll see when i meet you, is it the right time for me?
can you feel it this moment, or am i about to make this mistake again?

i’ll fake another memory so i don’t feel so cold
embrace the world around me, i’m clay without a mould
a lack of pure connection, will this time ever come?
a flower in the garden with no access to sun

and i’ll see when i meet you, is it the right time for me?
can you feel it this moment, or am i about to make this mistake again?

flower in the garden

FARRIN’s latest release, "Optimist," is set to hit all major streaming platforms soon. Diverging from his previous summer sounds, this track embraces an underground vibe with its big bass, progressive beats, and hypnotic vocals, making it a perfect fit for the underground club scene.

The song is about dealing with a toxic breakup by making the best of the situation and being optimistic about it.

Optimist

Latest summer vibe infused foot mover by Notts based producer Pulses- like a margarita filtered through a haze summer evening then poured straight into your ears.

Tribe

The atmosphere created by this  psychedelic crooner is inky-black and cinematic: spaghetti western bass plucks and guitar twangs hang from loping off-kilter drums. All drenched in swirling reverb.

Stuck in a dark corner of your mind. Trapped in a nightmare. The interminable sensation of… bureaucracy. A song about helplessness in a diabolical scenario: Homework… Forever.

Homework Forever
