PEOPLE GET STILL (DEMO)

by Deptford Goth

To quote the Fugees, the new track from Daniel Woolhouse aka Deptford Goth is “Killing us softly with his song.” The song is Gothy’s new demo ‘People Get Still’ — though a track this good really calls the use of the term demo into question. It’s a moving and haunting number, with echoing drums and delicate vocals that fade in and around a lush synthy ambiance. Get it while you can via the soundcloud link below.

All You Do

by Poledo
album Jesus Christ EP

When a teenager decides they want to cross the thin pubescent line to rebellion they can do so  through a variety of vices—sex, drugs, sex and drugs. Young brit Evn C and his moniker Poledo, do it through incredibly trashy garage pop. What separates him from his angsty contemporaries is a childlike soft-spot for other sounds—such as horn blasts, afro-pop guitars, and samples of children cheering—keeping his tunes from pitfalling too far into that black hole called “teenagedom”. Check out ‘All You Do’,  the stand out single from his Jesus Chirst EP. Then jump over to his bandcamp page to grab the entire EP for free.

Can't Leave You

by Doe Paoro

This isn’t typically the kind of music we post here. But Doe Paoro isn’t your typical songstress. Set against a soulful backdrop of strings and piano, her voice on ‘Can’t Leave You’ is like getting a front row seat to the cirque du soleil of vocals—fearless and captivating—never knowing what it’s going to do next. Doe Paoro, consider us smitten. Make sure to check out her amazing cover of the Future Islands ‘Little Dreamer’ below. You can download both over yonder on soundcloud.

This I've Heard

by New Hands

Whoever said kids should stay in school has obviously never heard of New Hands—five college bros who from the sound of the first single ‘This I’ve Heard’, are ready for a much bigger forum than that of their school peers.

Bouncy bass lines, twinkling synths, and James Murphy-esque vocals —all played with a level of songmanship that makes these guys sound wise beyond their years. Get the track for free here.

Traps

by MUSHU
