BABii Makes Her Debut with ‘PHANTOM’

Based in Margate, BABii makes her debut with the experimental pop track 'PHANTOM'. Self-produced, written and the whole nine, the single leans on the abstract and unorthodox spectrum of electronica and pop. Stacked with change-ups throughout the production, there are sparkling twinkles floating around a deep bass line and light drum programming, which sits underneath.

Liverpool trio SPQR have announced their signing to Modern Sky Records. To coincide with the news, the group have shared their new single 'Slowly', which is out now on the imprint.

Jenny Hval ‘Spells’ Video

Experimental artist Jenny Hval has released her new EP 'The Long Sleep' via Sacred Bones. The record is the follow-up to her 'Lost Girls' EP which was a collaborative effort with Håvard Volden. Hval has also shared the video to her new single 'Spells'. Directed by Constance Tenvik, Jenny strolls through multiple rooms of a mansion discovering parties in each room, some more peculiar than others. At the same time she discovers someone who looks like her. Carrying a briefcase, one of the more bizarre moments is when she decides to open it in the middle of a slumber party and the attendees flock to it like birds on bread crumbs.

Check Out Dear Reader’s Cinematic Single ‘Then Not Now’

South African art pop songstress Cherilyn MacNeil aka Dear Reader has shared a lyric video for her new single 'Then Not Now', which is taken from her new album 'Day Fever', landing February 24th via the City Slang imprint. Filmed in Berlin with Annie Boman, the projection of lyrics coincide with the cinematic production teetering between pop and electronica, each glazed with post-classical tastings. The rawness of the track reflects the recording process of MacNeil's new album, recording each track to tape rather than the previous digital process.
