There is a reason why Josephine Lloyd-Wilson aka Sephine Llo has been heavily praised and supported by magazines around the globe and entities such as BBC Radio 3 - she is just that good. Classically trained on the piano and violin, not to mention singing itself, her music is rich with arrangements, bursting with a vivid beauty like a musical painting. Hard to place in one category regarding genre, that is the magic in itself, it's not simply pop or post-classical, it's just well... Sephine Llo.

London artisan Benjamin Clementine explores the American south west in his video 'Jupiter'. Directed by Lola Schnabel and shot in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Clementine dances among the lush, mountainous landscape whilst swinging an American flag. He also does things like visit a fair, all the while flamboyantly dressed and delving into the idea of Americana. The song is taken from his critically-praised second LP 'I Tell A Fly'. Have a look.
BDY_PRTS are the Glasgow-based duo comprised of Jill O’Sullivan and Jenny Reeve. Whilst their music is dubbed electro future-pop, the visual and performance aspects of the group are also what complete the overall experience. Releasing a batch of fire hot pop records including their latest cut 'Warrior', their sound is experimental yet accessible, producing a picture perfect balance, with the artistry always at the forefront. BDY_PRTS will release their debut album 'Fly Invisible Hero' on November 24th via Aggrocat Records.
To call Montreal-based artist Doldrums' new video 'Limerence' trippy, would be an understatement. Directed by David Kleiser, the black and white shot vid contains clips of Doldrums flying through space and landing on another planet to a flower-like ship bursting through his chest. Yeah it doesn't get much stranger than that, but you'll find yourself strangely hooked on the visuals from start to end. The track is taken from his current LP 'ESC'.
Swiss-born, now Berlin-based singer and artist Evelinn Trouble continues to push through any boundaries of normality with her latest single 'Sunset Everytime'. A woozy and hazy taste of alt-pop, the song is the closing of a chapter and the start of a new beginning, which was a manifestation in Trouble's personal life. Swaying 50s guitar riffs coincide with light drumming as the song morphs into a haunting dreamlike state.
Having shared tracks from their upcoming EP 'Lea Porcelain Remixed' including reworks from Scuba, as well as Ruede Hagelstein & Amin Fallaha, Lea Porcelain now unveil a new version of their track 'Remember', courtesy of Thom alt-J. Probably one of the more left-field remixes we've heard, the first two and a half minutes are spearheaded by menacing synths and vocals dipped in reverb. Quite miminal and eerie, boot-kicking drums then erupt towards the end, shifting the cut further into obscure territory.
Lithuanian-born, London-based singer Johanna Glaza unveils the official video for her single 'Space Mermaid', taken from her debut album 'Wind Sculptures'. Shot by Old Rope Films, Glaza performs the song whilst amidst breath-taking landscape, beautifully complimenting the track. 'Wind Sculptures' is out September 29th. Check it out.
Three years after working on her debut album, singer, musician and composer Sephine Llo will finally unveil her record 'I, Your Moon' on October 27th. Dedicated to her late husband, Llo has shared her single 'Paper Thin', which will be featured on the forthcoming LP. Experimental yet intricate production fostering a fairy tale-like soundscape often times fluctuating from joyous to melancholic. Factor in Sephine Llo's angelic vocal delivery and the result is one heart-felt and breath-taking piece of work.
Archy Marshall aka King Krule returns the video for his latest single 'Dum Surfer'. Definitely on the darker side, a sickly and zombie looking Marshall and band mates perform in a venue in front of a handful people of people, mostly elder, and a stricken looking young adult. Directed by Brother Willis, the visuals are shot in a nostalgic Super 8 film styling, adding another level of grit to the video. The song is taken from King Krule's forthcoming album 'The OOZ', out October 13th on XL Recordings/True Panther Sounds.
