Here’s a late-week treat for anybody planning to catch up on some new music this weekend – a Spotify guide to the next couple of months of EYOE shows. The mix takes in the new pop aural delights of Charli XCX and Sleigh Bells who play together soon, the heartfelt swoon of Loney Dear (who is with us next Monday!) as well as a tiny highlight from Kindness (pictured).
Pitchfork just dropped a Best New Music on the excellent new Grimes record Visions. They also caught up with her for a very interesting chat, touching on gender, her use of voice and philosophy! Take a read HERE.
Here’s a wow-inducing premiere fresh from the Field Day blog. Revere playing with Mali legend Toumani Diabaté and covering a modern classic. Watch above and admire the beauty.
Here’s another new vid from Niki and the Dove who return to play for us again this week after wow-ing us at the Sebright last week. This is one of our favourite Niki songs so far, so very pleased to see it get the audio-visual treatment.
The new Grimes record has attracted a healthy new sum of fans to her bizzaro world pop-jams – a very good thing in our books. The album is one of our favourites of the year (make sure to check out late-album highlight ‘Skin’!) and is now streaming for your pleasure at NPR – the album stream website de jour.
