Pixx Shares Her Infectious Tune ‘Baboo’

One artist that is definitely an exciting watch is singer Pixx. Last year she brought forth her stellar EP 'Fall In' which found the Chipstead artist gracefully sliding across electronica and alternative. Pixx now returns with her new track 'Baboo', another breezing alt-electronic contribution that is beautifully warming with in the pocket vocals and easing guitar riffs that is add up to an amazing record. 'Baboo' is currently out now on 4AD. Have a listen.

Listen to FURS’ Alternative Jewel ‘Holy Reviewer’

London band FURS are truly a pleasant addiction. Since dropping their track 'Going Nowehere' a couple of years back, the group have remained consistent with a flow of cuts that have led up to their recently released debut LP 'Just Kids'. One of the tunes taken from the album is the hazy piece entitled 'Holy Reviewer'. Whilst previous songs have been a delicious execution of synth-pop, 'Holy Reviewer' is an alternative rock effort that adds another layer to their already lush soundscape.

Listen to Big Thief’s Hazy Tune ‘Paul’

NYC band Big Thief dropped their 'Masterpiece' EP via Saddle Creek Records a few months back. Packing in lush and moody sounds of Americana into four songs, the group have shared one of the highlight tracks taken from the record. 'Paul', a breezy slice of alt-rock, is that song that plays in a break-up scene where one of the members in the couple packs their bags, hops in the car and drives off into the sunset as the other party stands there with a pitiful stare. Whilst the song may feel quite melancholic to the one who has been left behind, it's a beautiful and liberating soundtrack for the other. Have a listen.
