LISTEN THIS WEEK:
Every week we highlight a few songs that you should absolutely listen to. In week 41 these are:
The Wombats – Ready for the High
Genre: indie pop
FFO: Courteeners, Kaiser Chiefs
Listen because: its intro is heavily instrumental and transforms into giving space to its vocals, while riffing guitars take over its soundscape. The song than changes into a catchy pop track, to which it is hard not to move along!
Sea Fever – Afterthought
Genre: Synth pop
FFO: New Order, Haven
Listen because: this song feels very eighties, yet is brand new. This isn’t a surprise, considering there are members of New Order in Sea Fever. ‘Afterthought’ immediately sounds familiar and solid, with intelligent synths and pulsating beats.
The Shadow Machine – Thirst
Genre: Alternative, Indie, Rock
FFO: The Haunted Youth, Whisperings Sons
Listen because: This is the perfect song to listen to in the fall, covered in a soft blanker and with a cup of tea warming your hands. Warm yourself up to its beautiful, almost hypnotic vocals and let yourself be carried away by the seductive guitars.
