@stereobar.netGwenifer Raymond - "Bird Songs For Atomic Skies"
Lyrebirds with new heads, foxes barking wrong, and one guitar picked fast and knotted. "A mutant rag, a blues gone awry." First for Fat Possum.

@stereobar.netMother Nature - "Meditation" ft. Heavy Crownz
Meditation as ritual and lift, praise to party. Rokmore on the beat, Kin Marie on the video. Big ideas, light touch.

@stereobar.netYAANG - "Leech"
A live staple finally on record: pulsing, jagged, a sober voice and a drunk one fighting over the same head. Their dancefloor call, and they won't ask twice.
@stereobar.netArandel - "L'Heure du Loup (Edit)"
Positive organ, harpsichord, analogue synths, spectral choirs and Louis Delorme's syncopated drums, set in the hour before dawn. Baroque and electronic, half awake.

@stereobar.netWorld News - "Vinegar Swimming Pool"
A heavier riff, a bass line that won't budge, a rolled "prrrr" for a hook and a satnav voice reading out the title. Shouldn't work. Does. Debut album out October 16.

@stereobar.netAesop Rock x Blockhead - "Coyote Summer" (feat. Hanni El Khatib)
Plain, loud boom-bap, a lunch order recited at noon sharp and a hook about getting out at the right moment.

@stereobar.netHang Linton - "DRIFTERS lullaby"
An alarm in the dark, milk gone off, a back broken on hope. Then a chorus that turns the weight into something shared. More fight than fury.

@stereobar.netParty Dozen - "Full Powers"
Starts strutting, ends pounding. Good power, bad power, and a sax that squeals its way from one to the other. Last single before "21 Bum Salute".

@stereobar.netCaoilfhionn Rose - "Horizon"
Two days of improvising in Copenhagen with Svaneborg Kardyb: light, restless keys and rhythms under a warm, hopeful voice. Lead single from "Draw Out Your World".

@stereobar.netThe Big Idea - "Come Close (Acoustic)"
No fuzz, no electric guitars: acoustic guitars and wind instruments, and the pop song underneath steps right out. First taste of "The Other Half", out November 6.

@stereobar.netSpiral XP - "Faith Electric"
One riff, one groove, two singers: Max's harsh first half on blind faith, then Lena pulls it into half-sleep. Th' Faith Healers meet Bowery Electric.

@grahamyeates.bsky.socialHappy Week 42 to all those that celebrate!
@gbti.bsky.socialThis week's email digest is out! 🗞️
@stereobar.netAmerican Motors - "marlboro miles"
No chorus, just reverb, hit-then-pause drums and a lost photo of a woman surrounded by cigarette coupons. Doesn't need a hook.

@stereobar.netBack seat of a bus, world collapsing outside. The Nightingales' "Hand Me My Backside" pairs hard post-punk with noir strings and a siren-like harmony, all in under three minutes. Limited flexi disc.
@stereobar.netCovering Joy Division usually ends badly. Automatic's "Shadowplay" keeps the song's bones, adds hard synth bass and noise, and sounds like theirs. First release as a duo.
