Jade Bird – Lottery


1 Comment

“Lottery” follows the 2017 release of Bird’s debut EP, Something American — an aptly titled release, as Bird’s material often finds its way into the Americana vein of music popularized across the pond, with Loretta Lynn one of her many obvious touchstones. Bird says “Lottery” was produced with the same group (Simone Felice and David Baron) that helmed Something American and that she’s soon looking to “release an album, which I’ve got a concept for,” in the near future.

The song, which received early airplay on multiple Triple A radio stations in the United States upon its Jan. 11 release, led by Sirius XM Radio’s The Spectrum station. It’s not Bird’s first foray onto American radio; Something American‘s “Cathedral” also received some airplay across the U.S. Appreciative of the support so far, Bird chalks her early success up in part to her material being “honest, and the common thread through it is very much being who I am: kind of a young, ballsy teenager who wants to do something a little bit differently.”

Spring King Rectifier

Screen-Shot-2016-02-13-at-23.37.43.png

Manchester garage-poppers Spring King have unveiled ‘Rectifier’, a brand new single and the band’s first since signing to Island Records.

Jumpy and fidgety as ever, it’s a track that sees the group up the ante on that early promise. Pairing shifty atmospherics with their frenetic pace, it’s a promising hint at their debut album, expected this year. Stream it below – it’ll be out as a limited 7” on March 25th.

That’ll be released on Island Records, the band’s new home. The news comes after a massive, breakthrough 2015 for Spring King, which saw them become the first band ever played on Apple’s Beats 1 radio station (by none other than professional excitement generator Zane Lowe) and subsequently zoom towards the head of the pack, capping it all off with their mammoth ‘Who Are You?’ single. Catch up with the DIY feature on how Spring King finally broke though.

Spring King play the following dates, including one of Wolf Alice’s London Forum dates and a load of shows amongst some fancy trees with Kaiser Chiefs:

Sonia Stein – Demented Mind

Berlin-born, London-based Sonia Stein has shared an amazing video for her latest track ‘Demented Mind’, which serves as a taster of her forthcoming debut album (which we’re very excited about hearing).

Since the track features no instruments at all (all sounds were created using Sonia’s own voice and body), it’s only fair that the video for ‘Demented Mind’ is pretty organic. The semi-blurred, ’70s-looking clip is dizzying. Watch it below.
