“I want to go anywhere and dream away” singer Karolien Van Ransbeeck whispers in ‘Summer Sun’, Few Bits’ luscious new single, taken from their sophomore album ‘Big Sparks’.  A pitch-perfect mix of  shimmering guitars, hazy vocals and loose but galloping grooves. Imagine Real Estate tackling Mazzy Star’s ‘Fade Into You’ at 45rpm instead of 33 1/3rpm and you get the picture. But there’s a lot more to this Antwerp based band. 

Debuting in 2013 with a self-titled debut album ‘Few Bits’ they immediately stole hearts of music lovers in Belgium and beyond. The band got invited to support the likes of Vampire Weekend and The War On Drugs and went on a UK tour with The Lemonheads. Gaining confidence on stage night after night is clearly reflected in the dynamic and full dreampop sound of ‘Summer Sun’ and the themes explored on the new album. 

Karolien’s songs about the shadow side of love, about longing for something that ultimately always remains just out of reach, and about finally having the courage to relinquish control come from a deeply personal place. “I always write autobiographically", she explains, "I'm not really interested in writing from someone else's perspective. A song doesn't just have to sound good, it also has to express exactly what I feel. Otherwise I'd rather throw it away. I don't come up with fiction. Every word, every comma, has to fit my head and my heart." 
Fresh from making their US debut at this year’s SXSW Festival, and just in time for the Canadian Music Week and The Great Escape, Few Bits is ready to win over hearts and ears all over the world with their new single ‘Summer Sun’

Join us on their trip and dream away.

Slow Club - Ancient Rolling Sea

Caged Animals is the musical moniker for Jersey-born, Brooklyn-based songwriter Vincent Cacchione and his family band.  With a long history in the borough’s DIY music scene, Cacchione emerged from his role fronting Soft Black (whose members included DIIV’s Zachary Cole Smith) to form Caged Animals, alongside his sister Talya, partner Magali Charron, and childhood friend Patrick Curry.

“Wildflowers” is the first track to be shared from the band’s new album.  Built around a propulsive groove and nocturnal atmosphere, “Wildflowers” trades in the kind of noir-tinged, art-pop The New Yorker once described as a “hip-hop influenced Velvet Underground.”  

Enveloping his plain-spoken delivery in undulating synthesizers and paisley arpeggios, Cacchione uses extended metaphor to describe the power of new life.  From the song’s central image, a flower growing in an otherwise empty field, Cacchione begins:

“This is your proof of superpowers my favorite wildflower / scaling up the towers.”  His subject, a thing of great potential, “Born into a kingdom already conquered,” but getting stronger every day.  It’s no surprise to find this theme not only stems from something personal but has it’s roots in one of life’s biggest changes.

“I wrote Wildflowers a couple months after the birth of my daughter Alaska,” explains Cacchione.  “My mind was swimming with nature.  Becoming a parent made me understand something about the power of each individual.  How we transcend our humble beginnings and make our live’s meaningful.”

Distilling their unique musical vision into it’s most focused form, Caged Animals remain understated and curious on “Wildflowers.”  Their pop-forward melodicism is both well-worn and refreshing; remaining direct, soulful, and uniquely unguarded.  A full album is expected in early 2017, featuring guest appearances from Neutral Milk Hotel’s Julian Koster and avant-alto-saxophonist Chris Aiello.

Wildflowers

lacking forth, an ace in the hole, drilling like a mole
seriously facing it all, nationwide adored
i would take, a wander through the city streets into darkening edge
festy race, faeces into my face, i forfeit the race

head first into night air, break forth, you were not there,
heartbreak again
slump down sink to the knees, becoming easy to please
heartbreak again

I’m not getting off easy, so to speak, needn’t you worry bout anything further
and i’d take it or leave it, poison if i do but not if not 
i made life so convoluted, in my world, the pleasure rolls in endless bouts and bounds
forgiving the method, was the easiest i’d brought upon myself

atoned into black death, taking in a full breath, 
your thighs around my neck i miss so bad
taken from the parking lot, safely in the oldest form 
nothing to say anymore without a sake anymore

Palace Winter are Copenhagen-based Australian Carl Coleman and Dane Caspar Hesselager. The duo’s sophomore album Nowadays is released on May 4, 2018 via Tambourhinoceros. Built around floating keys, rhythm guitar and an insisting beat, Nowadays is a bright and moody album that further develops the group’s unique sound.

Arriving in adulthood is a bitter-sweet experience. Abandoned childhood fascinations make way for tough life lessons. But also the hope and potential that comes with taking charge – of both your life and others’.These are the central themes in Nowadays, the second full-length album from Palace Winter.

Having played in bands separately for years, a mutual respect for each other’s styles encouraged them to start writing together. Carl coming from a song-writing background. Caspar, a producer and classically trained pianist. Both, however, appreciate a strong melody, which is evident throughout the atmospheric dark-pop they create.

Their debut single was released in 2015, followed by the EP Medication and in the summer of 2016, their debut album, “Waiting for the World to Turn” had arrived. All released via Copenhagen-based label Tambourhinoceros.

The support that followed was widespread. Number 1 on Hype Machine and overwhelming reviews from heavy hitters like The Guardian, NME and Line of Best Fit. Radio support came from Guy Garvey, Lauren Laverne and Tom Ravenscroft at BBC 6 Music, KCRW, KEXP, Norway’s P3 and Denmark’s P6.

The band have successfully brought their cinematic psych-pop to the stage. With an increasing number of sold out live shows under their belts, fans have not been left disappointed by their hypnotic and mind-blowing live sets.
