Alfie Conor - Stranger

Maaaaaaan! This is a great track, so gentle and smooth yet so emotive. I first stumbled across Alfie Conor a couple of years back whilst studying in Leeds and played him on my student radio show. He’s put this track through a jazzy-up-ifyer and has created a weird RnB style section.. He’s a bright talent and has been picked up by some BIG radio stations and DIY blog as well. Watch this space!

Forebear - North Korea and the Five Stages of Grief

I feel like we may be getting a tad political on the show. I don’t want to publish this track and then have a huge internet black-out. I think from the off you get the tone of this record.. The confused / slightly upset sound of the cello brings an uncertainty and the tone continues throughout the track. Forebear are American.. From LA to be precise and this comes from their recent EP titled Forebear.

Low Cut High Tops - Cigarettes and Wine

Can I make an addition to this song? Can we include Cheese on the list? Cigarettes, Wine and Cheese. That sounds good. This is taken from Low Cut High Tops latest EP called The Cuts and its rather enchanting. The voice kinda draws me in and the whole record has this jolly overall sound.. Although cigarettes and wine.. That leads to one thing and it ain’t jolly. Behave kids.

Harry Edwards - How I Learnt to Love the Blonde

I don’t really like to go into comparisons about artists but when you hear this by Harry Edwards its a bit like a weird cross over between FKA Twigs and James Blake. Its that atmospheric music that has so many intricate layers you know its more than just another track. Equally enchanting is Harry’s soundcloud which features a classical piano piece called Winter No.3. Recently getting national radio play and due to release a new song very soon!

HART - Anchors

We’re all a bit melancholy on this week’s show. ‘And I’ll love you in the same way I used to’ God that’s a lyric that resonates around everyone’s brain isn’t it? The more I think about the more this track grows in meaning. ‘Keep you in my head’ now comes from the lead singer Daniel Pattison mouth. Right I’m stopping the write up before it gets to me.

Ed Ling - Swimmers

I could listen to that twangy start over and over again.. Ed Ling is a singer from London who has embarked on the rocky road of recording his debut album. So far a few tracks have surfaced on his soundcloud including Blindfolded Lost - Which has a soft and gentle feel to the track but a slight turmoil to the meaning behind it. What I like about Ed is he’s making music for himself. In his bio he says he struggled to find a specific genre, then tried mashing up all the music he likes to listen to. Hey presto.. Ed Ling is born.
