Track Of The Week: ‘Deadly Sin’ By Shy Nature

Posted in Listen To More, Music, New Bands, Track of the Week

By Eva Alex Liu on 17 Apr 2013

Deadly Sin is an exhilarating introduction from new North London five-piece Shy Nature. Show the rest of this post…

The track’s bare intro swiftly builds into three minutes of accelerating rock and roll as frontman William spearheads the energy with a burgeoning story of a broken home atop fuzz guitars and biting drums. This marriage of bleak lyrics with sanguine music is reminiscent of classic 1960’s songwriting akin to Gerry Gofffin and Carole King. Produced and mixed at the band’s home studio by Luciano Rossi, the summery track will pervade your bones with an unrequited desire to hear more from one of London’s most exciting new bands.

Shy Nature make their live debut on May 17th at our clubnight Friday Night Fist Fight at the Old Blue Last

We love Miami Horror, so when they made a video for Holidays, it was pretty much a shoe-in we’d love it too. Although it’s a little weirder than we were expecting.

In FTF #38 we managed to track down amazing new Long Beach duo Poor Spirits. A tricky task as, back then, they had no MySpace, website or fan page on Facebook. Well they’ve got a site now at least, but more importantly, a second EP. And you can download it for free here.

Listen To More… Tanlines

Releasing their Settings EP earlier this year to widespread critical acclaim, Brooklynites Jesse Cohen and Eric Emm have been forming bands for as long as they can remember, but at last in Tanlines, seem to have really found a direction that hits. Their tropical guitar, percussion and synth-pop has influences in dance music and genres much further afield, certainly not restricted to the, albeit experiemental, urban New York streets.

Now prepping compilation album Volume On, before a debut studio album will hit some time next year, the 2-CD package features a host of EPs, compilation tracks, long deleted singles, remixes and never before heard songs. Touring the UK in early December, you can listen to more Tanlines here.

Is Tropical are Kitsuné’s big hope for 2011, so you can already assume that they’re good. The slow-burn, slightly gothic electro is infectious and this video directed by Gareth Phillips is equally great. Get ready for them to do major things next year.

Music Video: ‘Lifted’ By Lemonade

By Sam Bathe on 14 Oct 2010

San Fran-based Lemonade formed back in 2005 but it hasn’t been until recently that they really started to break through. Wowing crowds at this year’s SXSW, expect them to take 2011 by storm, 6 years overdue.

Jamaica are one of the hottest new bands at the moment, so get ready for them to really blow up in 2011. For now though, their stuff isn’t half bad either.
