Freja – Young Heart //
New track from Copenhagen-based Freja. Taken from her upcoming debut EP. ‘Young Heart’ is a fresh blast of upbeat pop. Citing influences including Fleetwood Mac, and Prince, which at times the Dane seems to wear on her sleeve. With the odd flute and retro melody breaking through, her rebellious vocal. ‘Young Heart’ is out August 3rd with the debut EP ‘White Magic Spells’ due for release October 9th.
IYES – No Wonder
After a nearly eight-month hiatus, the Brighton duo IYES are back in full swing. With it being a little under a week since they unveiled last track ‘So Crazy’. They’re back with another new track. ‘No Wonder’ is the second part of the duo’s new ‘Part One’ EP. With a retro 80s-tinged pop melody, dancing amongst the tracks playful and somewhat catchy chorus. Fitting the tracks subject matter of living a decadent lifestyle perfectly.
AIYA – Go
New track from Melbourne-based production duo AIYA. Following up from their mellow, but dense debut track ‘If I Could’. While the duo move into more alternative territory with new track ‘Go’. Blending together a hypnotic and transient soundscape which is scattered with jittering vocal samples, and wandering synths. All held together by dense basslines, which seem to ricochet through the track, before cascading down into a smooth and almost low-tempo hip hop aesthetic. All of which seems to build into a tangled and rugged crescendo. ‘Go’ is streaming now.
