Weekly Roundup #126
Welcome to Roundup, showcasing the freshest tunes at the moment.
Another week, another roundup. What are you spinning?
Sick Pretty Boy - Matilda Pratt
After a surprise announcement, Matilda Pratt is back with her huge new single Sick Pretty Boy. In a similar fashion to Valentine, the track is bursting with earworm vocals and a heavier side to the artist.
For Fans Of: Olivia Rodrigo, Pale Waves
Draw The Line - Lighthouse
Emerging with their debut single earlier this year, Birmingham-hailing band Lighthouse have dropped their sophomore single, Draw The Line. While softer than Animal, the track demonstrates a more sombre and emotional side to the band. Those who have caught them live will have already heard it.
For Fans Of: Arctic Monkeys, Royal Blood
I’ve Had Want - Holly Head
Holly Head’s credentials as purveyors of visceral, politico-punk founded on contagious grooves have met sonic evolution on I’ve Had Want. It represents a glimpse into a more forgiving and melodic shade of patiently hewn songcraft usually hidden within an otherwise frenetic setlist, co-written again by Westside Cowboy’s drummer, and former Holly Head lead guitarist, Paddy Murphy.
For Fans Of: Bleech 9:3, IDLES
Hot Slob - Sylvan Esso
The new single “Hot Slob” from Sylvan Esso is proudly messy and more pointed than any of their music to date. The song embraces the spirit and chaos of living in the glitch, capturing them at their most rowdy and infectious, with equal parts anthemic indie rock and tongue-in-cheek swagger. You’re going to want to play this one loud.
For Fans Of: CMAT, Wet Leg, Coach Party
ORANGUTAN - DIVIL
This is the second single from Dublin three-piece DIVIL, ahead of their debut EP DIVIL I (out today). "ORANGUTAN" is a song about escapism and resisting the people trying to pull you through - raw, immediate, and largely built around an iPad recording captured in a single manic evening.
For Fans Of: Fontaines D.C., The Murder Capital
