Sniffing out the best new music
Our Track of the Day comes from Manchester’s LoFi Soul Pop duo ‘Darcie’. I just stumbled upon this earlier today and was taken aback by it’s simple beauty. On further inspection I found that these youngsters were featured in ‘NME’s 100 Essential Artists for 2018’, no surprise there. It all takes time, they are still... Continue Reading →
More Irish music here from Rory Hall AKA Proper Micro NV (Strange name that). Hall hails from Limerick and is affiliated to Strange Brew Records. ‘Dot Dot Dot’ is a down-tempo tune that I really have a soft spot for as it reminds me of Scottish producer Koreless for some reason. Now I’m going to... Continue Reading →
Well, this is actually whopper! I would never be too fond of grime sorts of tracks usually, but this one is far above bareable - it's quite charming truth be told. Sim Simma Soundsystem are an Irish collective who I have been aware of for a while because of their diverse 'Sim Simma' parties in... Continue Reading →
Twelve years!! It's been twelve years since The Cinematic Orchestra released their last album 'Ma Fleur'. I'll never ever forget the opening track 'To build a home' with Patrick Watson - I blasted that tune out for my music practical exam when I was a young buck in school. That tune, alongside Watson's 'The Great... Continue Reading →
Shane 'TADGH' Nolan has been grafting all his life to make headway in music and get his unmistakable talent heard. It sounds like such a simple thing, good music will always be picked up, they tend to say, sadly that is never the case. Becoming successful in music these days is all about talent, personality,...

Some mad chilling deja-vu stuff, Peter & Kerry? I think they are back you know, banding around some deep vibes again. This duo (Peter Lyons & Kerry Leatham) shot to my attention just over seven years ago with their quirky acoustic version of Amerie’s (annoying) 2011 hit ‘One Thing’. Their languished, seamless and effortless, vocal... Continue Reading →

In 'SnifferFavs' over the next while we will write about 10 albums that have influenced us greatly in the last few years ( Biased Review Alert 🙂 ). Our daily 'SnifferFavs' section just had to launch with Hertfordshire boys 'Maribou State' and their absolutely blissful 'Portraits' album. This is my go-to album ever since it... Continue Reading →
In the midst of a solid night of trawling through the new songs of the week, I stumbled upon this little rascal from a young lad named Tom Vernon. This fella hails from the secluded Jersey, Channel Islands UK. Vernon has clearly been working hard honing his craft in the past few months judging by... Continue Reading →
I heard Helado Negro's 'Please Don't Wait' when it was pre-released back in November last year and thought it was fairly decent but ultimately scrolled on without taking to much further notice. Fast forward a couple of months and I'm sitting here listening to the same song in disbelief that I didn't fire it up... Continue Reading →
