LISTEN THIS WEEK:
Every week we highlight a few songs that you should absolutely listen to. In week 16 these are:
The Awkward – George Gorgeous
Genre: Disco Pop
FFO: The Vices, EUT, Blanks
Listen because: their incredibly infectious synth pop sound has evolved into something more disco, more synthy, and even poppier. It is the grand new single ‘George Gorgeous’ that cements their position in the local musical landscape even further, with strong vocals and surprising elements that weave the song’s different components together!
Tamino – The First Disciple
Genre: Dream Pop
FFO: Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Oscar and the Wolf,
Listen because: there isn’t a dream in which Tamino doesn’t take care of the soundtrack, his sultry, crooning vocals are angelic and have been picked up by the world at large, and it shouldn’t be any other way. His soothing dream pop sound elevates expectations on every single song he releases, and he does so again on ‘The First Disciple’, a wonderful weekend surprise.
Tidepool – Patterns
Genre: Guitar Pop
FFO: The Kooks, False Heads, BAYBOARDS
Listen because: the Manchester-based indie rock outfit have finally released their debut single, an infectious and warm, comforting alt rock track with soaring vocals and a guitar-driven soundscape built on driving drums and distorted riffs throughout!
