Sniffing out the best new music
Belfast's shining light Kitt Philippa has just released their debut album Human yesterday. Honestly, I have to say, it is one of the hottest records on the scene at the minute. This is one of the most intensely and beautifully written bodies of work I have heard in ages. Two songs that really stand out... Continue Reading →
David Keenan - Altar Wine. Dundalk native David Keenan is undoubtedly one of my favourite Irish artists in recent times. His pure & strong County Louth accent is a thing of beauty and this ruggedness sets him apart from other songwriters as a result. This week he has released a polished rework of the delicately...

Joel Ansett is an artist who has been firmly on our radar here at The Sound Sniffer for months ever since hearing his single 'Cadillac'. He hails from Denver, Colorado and is currently unsigned, believe it or not. He made real headway back in 2017, when his emotive folk ballad ‘Give Our Hearts Some Weight‘... Continue Reading →
Some Monday Afternoon mood music from American duo Bad Flamingo. If I was curating the songs to fit into the sequel of Django Unchained, 'Open The Gates' would be an absolute shoe-in for the soundtrack. This is a simply class track with a slight wild west tinge elevating it to higher heights than a standard... Continue Reading →
Oh Yes. Norwegian singer/songwriter Simen Mitlid has just made one of them timeless folk ballads. Reality Tsars is like my perfect little tune to be honest.

Brother Jonathan is a singer/songwriter from the South East of the UK that we have been tracking for a while. He has just released his debut single 'Hurting' and it is a grizzly and emotive folk offering. He is definitely one to watch on the scene in the coming months. His ability to write pure...

A voice of pure gold here from Scottish-born singer/songwriter Neev. Her debut single Burning To Dust is full of quite lovely husk and charm. This 23 year old has one of those enchantingly nice vocals, nothing stretched or forced, just a purely natural tone that hits the ear nicely. She has been living in London... Continue Reading →
London based Irishman Moncrieff has just released his first single in over a year. Ghost is the first instalment from his upcoming EP The Only Hurts. This fella is one of those mecurial talents that can hold a room with the power of his vocals alone. I started seeing his name in and around posters... Continue Reading →
