Stream: Your Love Is An Island - Talos

Your Love Is An Island is the new track from Talos. Likened to James Blake and Bon Iver, the Cork artist has crafted a fragile song that gently weaves its path through textures and ambient noise.

The track is taken from the O Sanctum EP and was produced by Talos together with Valgeir Sigurðsson, with mixing by Valgier at Greenhouse Studios in Iceland. With remixes on the EP that include work by Sin Fang, it is clear Talos, real name Eoin French, feels at least some level of connection to Iceland... A land that reflects the stark beauty of French's music.

Describing Your Love Is An Island, Talos says:

“Your love is an island, I’m scorched in the sands of it…"

“The image described in the last lines sum up what the song is about for me - the struggle to find that sense of peace that only comes from attaining ones dreams and desires. The idea of being so close but still so far from salvation - and not knowing if you'll ever really find it even if reached.”

Stream: I Ain't Goin Nowhere - Kiah Victoria

Back for more after the success of her debut track Cold War, New York musician Kiah Victoria has this week unveiled her second track.

I Ain't Goin Nowhere is a propulsive soul number the feels like Erykah Badu given some production support from her ex, André 3000. The result is scatterbrain but infectious and upbeat, in contrast to the equally beautiful, soaring balladry of Cold War.

Victoria describes the track in her own words:

"I feel like this song is my anti-self-doubt mantra. We dance with the idea that we're not worthy, but all the while, we already know what's good. I'm capable. We're capable. Good shit is happening and I can simply take it in and run with it. In other words."

If she can keep making music anywhere near as good as these first two tracks then I'm going to keep listening... Kiah is definitely one to watch.

Stream: Moon Tattoo - Sofi Tukker

With their debut EP Soft Animals out today, NY based duo Sofi Tukker are about to go big and to celebrate they have just unveiled Moon Tattoo, one of the tracks off of the new EP. Melding together pop, dance and indie the pair create a lovely soft ballad that shuffles gently in the heat. Having checked out most of the tracks from their EP, I have to say this is my favourite - restrained and irresistible.

Stream: Focus - Camden Cox

The first track from her new solo project, Camden Cox has just taken the wraps off of Focus, a crunchy sun-flecked dose of summer R&B. Produced with Barney B, the two of them creating the song in his West Country barn.

Before Focus Cox had released Kinda Like on Little Boots' On Repeat label. Focus is a track dedicated to that feeling when your desire for someone is so strong that you can't focus on anything else - on the track Camden says:

"Focus is about losing track of everything because you’re so consumed by someone that they take over your mind and body. The feeling is exciting, amazing and confusing and the track is about trying to make sense of all of those things while trying to stay in control.”
