The Amazing - The Headless Boy

This understated, breezy track by Swedish folk collective The Amazing is charming in its melancholia. Taken from their third album, Picture You, the acoustic track uses dreamy harmonies and stripped back instrumentation to perfectly convey the reflective sorrow of the lyrics.

Terror Pigeon - The Internet

The new track by Nashville's Terror Pigeon is in stark contrast to anything they’ve previously released. The bombastic exuberance that characterised their previous work has given way to a delicate, plaintive piece of electro-pop.

Mesita - The Villain

This dramatic track by Colorado’s Mesita is reminiscent of Imagine Dragon’s ‘Radioactive’ with its crushing bass, expansive instrumentation and infectious vocals. Taken from his new album, The Phoenix, James Cooley is at his best when he is at his angriest.

Japanese Wallpaper - Between Friends (Anatole Remix)

'Between Friends'by Australian wonderkid Japanese Wallpaper is a beautiful song in its own right, but the remix by Anatole has offered an entirely fresh take on the ambient original.
