JENNY HVAL Unveils New Single ‘Buffy’

Jenny Hval unveils the enchanting new single, ‘Buffy’. “Buffy is not a song about a slayer, a superhero, or feminist icon. If anything, it’s a song about hope, but in an understated and episodic way. Because to me, hope is more hopeful when it is presented in a subtle way.” Jenny Hval’s new album Classic Objects, released earlier this year on 4AD, "…is Hval at her most approachable, with upbeat tunes and consonant sounds, both acoustic and electronic.” (The New York Times). Surrounding its release, the album received glowing reviews, which extended through the year to “Best of 2022 (So Far)” praise from Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Guardian, Uncut, and more.

JOY ORBISON releases new single '2M3 2U'

Joy Orbison releases his new single ‘2M3 2U’, a catchy and futuristic sounding track that follows previous tracks ‘pinky ring’ and ‘red velve7’ and sees Joy O continue his journey towards the dancefloor.

“I see this one as a bit of a UK take on hyperpop,” says Joy. “But with a bit of bass weight. the vocal part could be a sample of some garbled message of love in Bladerunner or the Fifth Element, and the main riffs had me thinking about the DJ Narrows records we’d play at youth club parties. Interesting top lines seem to be a bit absent in my world these days and I’ve definitely been influenced by contemporary drum & bass and their endless search for the catchiest wobble.” “Rarely is electronic music so utterly human as on Still Slipping” – Pitchfork “One of the greatest producers in UK dance music.” – Resident Advisor

Of the video, frontman Charlie Steen says: “Self-obsession, social media flagellation and death can all be seen in this Oscar-nominated performance.

Benjamin Woods (the other one - not the NZ one!) shares a new song from his upcoming GOLDEN DREGS album, On Grace & Dignity. Following early single ‘American Airlines’, ‘Sundown Lake’ is a coming-of-age song full of nostalgia where band leader Benjamin Woods – joined by Issie Armstrong on backing vocals – muses on hazy memories of teenage life in Cornwall. Releasing on 10th, February, Woods‘ third album, On Grace & Dignity, considers his home and what it means to be shaped by a place – in this instance, Truro, Cornwall’s capital, home to a rare three-spired cathedral, a peaceful river and a lot of empty shops and flimsy out-of-town housing estates.
