She – Meyru

My Only – ARCHE
Verging on psychedelia, the dreamy shoegaze pop from ARCHE emits a cool, dusky atmosphere, generated by a subtle melody and hazy vocals. A song for the night owls. FFO: Swimming Tapes, The Japanese House, Summer Salt
Hawai Chill – Kicktracks
Low-fi funky instrumental over-layed with refined vocal elements – Kicktracks crafts layer upon layer of fine-tuned beats and melodies. FFO: Temporex, Vansire, Banes World
Get Me Started – FREEMAN

Teddy – Easter Island Statues
Thrashing drums, turbulent riffs, and an unstoppable energy, ‘Teddy’ gravitates between calmer verses and thumping choruses, before erupting into a final burst of power. FFO: VANT, Foals
Little Girl – Ghost Town Cinema
Honest lyrics and husky vocals are paired with a muted melody and accompanied by a heartwarming video, which intertwines both song and story. FFO: Kodaline, Vance Joy

Creating a fairy-tale-esque atmosphere through soft, ethereal vocals, and a calming melody, ‘I Follow’ has a quietly beautiful lullaby feel. FFO: Beach House, Jorja Smith
Hey Wavy Baby – Only Rainyday Rainbow

Racing surf rock, brimming with intensity and roaring riffs, before catapulting into a groovy guitar frenzy. FFO: The Garden, Bad//Dreems
