FRESH ON THE NET 542 - MY FAVS

I Want You Want

'Don’t Let Me Love Alone' is a moment of choosing and accepting to be loved. A self-reflection on the fear of losing yourself to love. Warm autumnal acoustics, hypnotic guitar swirls and soothing vocal harmonies, all reinforce Sophie’s tender delivery moving between resistance and hope.

Development EP

Wanted To Talk

A noir jazz night road trip soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t exist.

Holloway Road

This EP tracks a journey from lost to found through electronic belters that make you want to get up dance and heart-wrenching acoustic ballads. Tide take me down is about moving through difficult times and emerging the other side standing proud.

Faint Line - Breathe The Water

THE POPPERMOST RELEASE NEW SINGLE “I DON’T WANT TO KNOW”.
Autumn rolls around again, bringing with it the “slightly-delic” stylings of a brand
new single from Glasgow’s The Poppermost entitled “I Don’t Want To Know.”

In an epic and unexpected diversion from the straightforward “Mersey-pop” of
Poppermost past, this Joe Kane-penned, performed, and produced (he even made the
tea!) number could be considered the “anti-Good Vibrations.” No mere retro-curio, it’s a
hazy, lolloping hymn to breaking down and baring up to the uninvited realities and
downright strangeness of the here and now. A fully-fledged folk-pop fable.

Following on from the cult classic debut LP “Hits To Spare” (Think Like A Key) and last
year’s homage to classic French picture sleeves “Les Poppermost EP” (Disques
Rogue),“I Don’t Want To Know” is the first fruit from the “Fabracadabra” album sessions.
A 14-track longplayer is incoming, having been whittled down from over 30 recordings.

The Poppermost - I Don't Want To Know

Time Pie

While You Preside is taken from The Junipers 2024 album "Imaginary Friends". Inspired by the old psychedelic dance floor 45's.

While You Preside

Ever wondered what happens when a light-fingered bloodthirsty bone-splitter meets an octogenarian dominatrix raised in the East London underground bareknuckle boxing scene?

Wonder no longer. 

Featuring the sometimes charming and often confusing Henry Wilson on raps. 

This track is available on Itunes, Amazon, Spotify and all other purveyors of fine dank tunes.
