Stream: Whale - Hudson Scott

Following on from his debut track Clay earlier this month, Hudson Scott is already back with another great release.

Whale is the second track to be lifted from Scott's debut EP Clay, due out on 22 April. The London-based musician continues with the style of his debut track but takes things even further. The result is a track that boasts a multi-layered and expensive sounding layer of production. It manages to channel both TV On The Radio and Tears a For Fears at once into something boisterous but incredibly detailed. 

Sometimes music this well put together can feel a little sterile but Hudson has managed to make this sound impressively constructed whilst retaining its humanity.

Stream: Keep Moving On - Satin Jackets feat. IsaacO

Satin Jackets have unveiled another new track, coming off the back of their lovely recent single We Can Talk and in advance of their album Panorama Pacifico (due out on 8 April through Eskimo).

With gently wistful vocals from IsaacO, Keep Moving On is one of the more downbeat and introspective moments on Panorama Pacifico, but the relaxed atmosphere is complemented by the sparkling production. Check out the track and look for a review of the album next week. 

Stream: Mirrors - Ryan Vail

Following on from his recent track Wounds, classical music inspired Derry-based artist Ryan Vail is back with another track from his forthcoming album For Every Silence.  

Mirrors is another delicately crafted piece of music, Vail's vocals delicately scrawled against the softly beating heartbeat of the track's drum track. Minimal keys half play a melody, a backing to Vail pouring his heart out whilst his wife Katie provides subtly backing vocal effects. Hints of Matthew Dear can be heard here, but it also feels like Moby back during his most naked and Exposed mid-90s period. 

EP Review: For Ever More - My Favourite Robot ft Northern Lite

Teaming up for this new release on Be Free are My Favorite a Robot and indie electronic artists Northern Lite. Together they have made For Ever More, a dreamy, dubby trip of a record. 

The original version is full of spaced out vocals and piercing synths. Chugging bass throbs beneath rapid rhythmic percussion.  The result is a deliberately paced record, full of fizzing attitude and glorious melodies. The Club Mix pushes out the length and amps up a clattering drum loop whilst a No Vocal version drops out most (but not all) of the vocal. 

Rounding out the release is a remix by Marvin & Guy, known for their releases on Jon Talabot's Hivern Discs and Young Adults. Here they create a brooding climatic minimal take that you can check out in full above. 

Stream: Where The Hell Are My Friends - LANY

Here LANY uncover another slice of millennial paranoia and dissatisfaction in the form of Where The Hell Are My Friends.

This new track uses LANY's trademark soft synth sound to create an emotive 80s influenced pop meets modern electronic R&B. The band focus on the line "Friday, wine, and the internet, the only love i seem to get"... If that isn't a line to encapsulate the anxiety of the modern age, I don't know what is.
