Sniffing out the best new music
Something a little bit more BBC radio 1 ready here this afternoon from much anticipated Aussie artist Jack Gray. The nice thing here is that he writes and produces everything himself, much respect - it's no wonder Warner Music Group have snapped him up. This fella is making real headway on the commercial scene down... Continue Reading →
A tune straight out of the indie folk bag here from New Jersey's talented Zander Bleck. This guys story is an intruiging one to be honest. Bleck started out his solo project after disbanding from his band and quickly landed on his feet and he met multi-Grammy award winning song-writer Holly Knight, who he recorded... Continue Reading →
Belter Alert: Parisian producer Invõker has just released a real tech house classic there yesterday. The low end rhythmic toms are completely tribal in nature - which is something I always enjoy a good boogie to. The synth here is the focal point though - the subtle progressions envoke a feeling of elation in the... Continue Reading →
Have you ever come across a song that just instantly grabs a hold- Joel Ansett's new one Cadillac is a real clinger from the first moment I heard it. This is just too good not to hear. I had an Elderbrook obsession for a few weeks a couple of months ago and hearing the vocals... Continue Reading →
Brooklyn based husband and wife duo Jillian Speece & Nathaniel Paul Hoff form the enchanting musical project that is The Bergamot. I was introduced to this band this time last week when I was sent their latest single 'One Mile', I was instantly impressed, not only by the song but also the work that went... Continue Reading →
A-Wa's 'Hana Mash Hu Al Yaman' is the most interesting song I have featured so far on The Sound Sniffer. This act is formed of three sisters Tair, Liron and Tagel who were born in the communal settlement of Shaharut, situated in the secluded Arava Valley in Southern Israel. Their paternal grandparents are orginally from... Continue Reading →
In amongst the flutter of guitar plucks, echoed vocals and soft LoFi drum patters we somehow lose our tendency to overthink and stress - this is one hell of a calming song. The sense of chill was assembled pretty early on here and that was that. Pedro Baapz and Isabel Oliveira hail from the little... Continue Reading →
This feels like what would happen if you mix an instrumental from The Specials with the rhythmic flow of three fairly clean-cut English rappers and it sounds quite nice in all honesty. Benji SC, originally from Bristol has come out of leftfield via The USA, releasing his debut single Rolling on late last week. When... Continue Reading →
Bedroom produced athmospheric chill here from the UK's new exciting twenty year old one man band Hugo Cottu. In an age where any man and his dog can hash up beats from the comfort of their own home using the incredible resources at our disposal - it makes it very difficult for us bloggers to...

That One Eyed Kid is the moniker of Josh Friedman, a Boston-based independent songwriter, performer, and producer. Building from a soulful vocal performance, synth-pop production, and delicate layers of acoustic and electronic instruments, T1EK's states that his songs are "about embracing our deepest insecurities and holding them up to the light". The first time I... Continue Reading →
