Happy Monday everyone. It feels like years since we were allowed out of the house. This is the perfect time to change old habits and take up those passion projects that real-life commitments infringed on. What I have found out recently is that I enjoy walking, I don't enjoy running and that going to the... Continue Reading →
Shoegaze | Wandour – Flux
We explore the ground shaking production depth of UK producer Wandour and his eerily darkened new release Flux this afternoon on this drab Monday in London. For me this brooding and hypnotic construction is the perfect shoegaze track to accompany the cloudy and rather depressing skyline. There is something hugely rewarding to be gained from...

Spooky Wilson – Ho Hey
This is one of the first tunes ever submitted to us here at The Sound Sniffer and we were gutted to have to wait until it's release date to share it with you all. Ladies and Gentlemen, I formally introduce Spooky Wilson - a unique sounding new artist who has just released his debut single... Continue Reading →
Lejon – Make You Mine

It was then I was introduced to an electro-pop band that are based right on my doorstep here in West London, who have succeeded... Continue Reading →
Benji SC – Rolling on (Ft. Mbalé & Richie Gathu)

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 →
That One Eyed Kid – Rebandon

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 →
Soft Streak – Reasonable Lie
Yet another great LA act here, this time it's duo Soft Streak who are producing the goods and their follow-up to the acclaimed Ride has me swaying around the house. The bouncy mood brought on by the slick guitar riff during the chorus is fairly infectious. Reasonable Lie is a tune you will definitely do... Continue Reading →
Hallelugenia – Voices & Ghosts
Bristol is our next port of call for a pensive piece from experimental electronic act Hallelugenia. This is a more serious, darker composition but it's highly effective in it's construction. The song starts with well pitched groaning opening vocals over some throwback keyboard work. The whole song is then elevated nicely with those clear, almost... Continue Reading →
