BLUE AMBER the Cardiff hip-hop/free jazz/art-punk collective announce their new single ‘Yr Man In The Music Scene’, set for self release with digital distribution via Distrokid.  Radio Impact/Focus Date for ‘Yr Man In The Music Scene’ is slated for 1st Aug 2025. 

BLUE AMBER fuse Lynchian soundscapes, Dadaist and political lyricism with art rock, hip-hop and free jazz.  Starting as an introverted bedroom project, BLUE AMBER blossomed into a supergroup of sorts, featuring members of Cardiff’s numerous jazz, indie and psych groups. Since their inception, the band have made a name for  themselves on the Welsh live circuit with their sonically diverse offerings and songs inspired by an equally divided world, featuring two drummers, samples, saxophone and frontman Drew Noel’s satirical poetic lyricism.    

Their first release, ‘The Blue Amber’ EP was released in 2018. Since their debut they have released a further 7 singles, including the fan favourite ‘Welsh Girl’ in 2021 and their debut LP track Rockland’s Workshop in 2022 and Rockland’s Workshopped remix EP, in 2023  

With an increasing number of Welsh acts gaining critical acclaim, 2025 seems like a good time to turn the satirical microscope/microphone back to their homeland. Says singer Drew, ‘Yr Man in the Music Scene’ is a pastiche of the Welsh music scene, and indeed, the British music scene as a whole. The song satirises competition between artists in a close knit environment, makes light of personal struggles, and brags about accomplishments that aren’t really a big deal. It’s an  exaggeration of how an artist feels when they’re on top of the world, with all the narcissistic qualities that come with it.  It is the audio equivalent of “look how big my *** is”. And as for the spelling on the song the title Drew adds, ‘“Yr” was just a homage to LCD Soundsystem - e.g. Yr City Is A Sucker, and not the Welsh word for ‘The’”. 

BLUE AMBER have played both SWN and Focus Music Wales Festivals. They have also supported Getdown Services, Maruja Deadletter, Italia 90, Stay in Nothing, Rubie, Knives and Diary Diary. 

‘Yr Man In The Music Scene’ was written by Drew Noel with James Minas on engineering, mixing, mastering and production duties.  BLUE AMBER have been through several line ups but are now settled as Drew Noel (vocals and sax), Hayden Lewis (guitar), Billy Stillman (bass), Cadi Thomas (keyboard), Alex Burch and Zach Breskal (both drums and percussion).

Brighton-based electronic pop duo Sock Drawer return with “Bored” a woozy, slow-burning dream-pop track set in a parallel universe where they’re rich, famous, and finally on tour. In reality? They’re just... bored.

One of the earliest tracks written for their upcoming debut album, “Bored” began as a stripped-back acoustic tune—a half-baked escape plan rooted in a fantasy trip to Amsterdam. That trip never happened, but the daydream stuck. Over time, the song grew into a layered, sample-heavy voyage through inertia and imagination. Guitars pulse with restless energy, drum loops stutter and swirl, and the final section bursts into a euphoric 4-to-the-floor outro—a pop-fuelled hallucination of a tour that never was.

Vocalist Ebony Grace reflects on being a tourist in your own life adrift, daydreaming, and disconnected. “‘Bored’ is set in a kind of parallel universe—by the end of the track, we’re on tour and rich and famous. But really, we’re just daydreaming on the sofa,” she says.

It’s escapism disguised as a pop song—or maybe the other way around.
