Saint Kochi has shared his intriguing new single Don t Look Down .
The songwriter uses the name of a city in India s Kerala state, where his family are from, and the project plays on different layers and aspects of identity.
His debut EP is incoming, following sessions in his London basement studio, constructed together with Dom Ganderton (Superfood) - who actually produced the new EP. Don t Look Down is out now, a low-key indie bop whose subtle use of melody sits alongside lyrics that both mask and reveal at the same time.
Sam Hiscox directs the video, and it utilises a shoot in California s the Joshua Tree area, an off kilter romantic narrative.

Jasper Tygner makes immersive electronics that nod towards club tropes while exhibiting an almost cinematic sense of world-building.
Still remarkably - almost imposingly - young, the producer has toured with Tom Misch, and written bangers for Carmody, all while building his own unique voice.
A true polymath, Jasper Tygner s journey reaches a new embarkation point this week, with the release of new single Kashmer .
Out on Friday - May 7th - it s got a lo-fi sensibility, with Jasper s organic approach matching a kind of retro-futurist sensibility to something starkly original.
Honing in on his own sound, the bubbling melodies incorporate left-field house options while still remaining open, direct, and accessible.

But change comes for us all, eventually. A shift in line up finds Teenage Fanclub embarking on subtle evolution on new album ‘Endless Arcade’, their first with Euros Childs as a full member. It’s the sound of a group locating a quiet sense of renewal, probing for fresh inspiration and – for the large part – finding it.
Modest Mouse will release new album We Are Between on June 25th.
The band s first studio album in six years, it was produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles, alongside sessions at the Modest Mouse studio in Portland.

Itâs finally here! The fabled âVan Weezerâ has finally arrived! Take your pandemic, your year-long delays, and your brilliant surprise releases, and stick âem where the sun donât shine! Weâre hair metal stans now,
baby.
Seriously though,
Weezer have been teasing this album for quite some time; with references to âVan Weezerâ dating back to before the band had even released their magnum anus â the
self-titled âblackâ album, for those not in the know â in March 2019. Rivers Cuomo, somewhat optimistically, has described the bandâs 15th (!) studio album as
Letâs get this out of the way first: does Van Weezer sound anything at all like Van Halen? Aside from a handful of guitar solos featuring shredding and finger tapping â techniques that the late Eddie Van Halen (whom this album was dedicated to after his passing in October 2020) helped popular
