The Best of Fresh Finds (04/04/2018)

In this series, we pick out the best from Spotify's Fresh Finds playlists which shines a light on the latest and greatest songs from undiscovered artists around the world. You never know, you might find your new favourite tune. Click the titles to listen!

Ice Baths - New Strappings, Pt. 1

London-based post-punks Ice Baths have only been around a short while. Their spiky, noisy and sometimes uncomfortable sound is one of originality and severe urgency. The way the track builds to all-out noise towards the final stages is brilliant and the heavily reverberated vocals add a calmness to the rowdy chaos.

Dogeyed - Deep Dreaming

Bristol's Dogeyed are soon to be releasing their debut EP in May, and 'Deep Dreaming' is the first cut from that. Harriet Elder's vocals are sharp and passionate against a raw but equally dreamy and lazy isntrumental. This is another great track from an ever-growing Bristol music scene.

Suzi Island - Show Me the Way

The debut single from Brighton duo Suzi Island, 'Show Me the Way' is a dense and lavishly produced summer banger waiting to explode. Both only 19 years old, the lads have already carved out a sound that is sure to resonate with a young, indie-loving audience.

King Colour - A Night at Flo's

This instrumental is from King Colour's brilliant new 9 track EP titled 'Mood Lighting'. If you're a fan of killer guitar solos, brilliant drum grooves and 60s influenced organ sounds this one is definitely for you. Rock n' roll isn't dead when this lot are around.

Slow Pilot - Grow

'Grow' arrives on Slow Pilot's debut album 'Gentle Intruder'. Released on Starman Records, the tune is one filled with dreamlike textures that perfectly accompany Pieter Perisman's soft lead vocal. The guitar solo towards the end of the track is unconventionally bluesy but grabs the attention and cuts through the whistful instrumentation perfectly.

The Best of Fresh Finds (28/03/2018)

Carla Geneve - Greg's Discount Chemist

Aussie native Carla Geneve's new single 'Greg's Discount Chemist' is a bright and uplifting indie-folk track that sounds not too dissimilar from peers Courtney Barnett and Jen Cloher. The stand-alone single is hopefully the first of many to come this year from the nineteen-year-old singer-songwriter.

Holm - Hope

Holm is the solo project from Danish multi-instrumentalist Mikkel Holm-Silkjaer. This new track is produced, written and performed entirely by Holm himself. The twanging guitars and raw vocals combine brilliantly to create a DIY sound whilst maintaining an air of polished professionalism. Holm's passion is plain to hear throughout the brilliantly performed track.

Candy - Apartment in the City

The second Australian on this list, Candy is the solo project of former Amyl and the Sniffers member Calum Newton. His sound sits somewhere between shoegaze and lo-fi pop whilst taking influence from emo and mid-2000s indie. 'Apartment in the City' is his first single off the upcoming album 'Under the Weather'.

Bdrmm - Kare

'Kare' is the brand new single from Hull boys Bdrmm. It's a tune of beautifully hazy vocals, swirling guitar leads and driving rhythm sections that build and fall to create welcome intense moments throughout the reverb-heavy, dreamlike sound. Produced by maestro Alex Greaves (Trash, PLAZA) these lads from the North of England are definitely ones to watch.

Video Age - Hold On (I Was Wrong)

'Hold On (I Was Wrong)' is the new single from retro pop duo Video Age. The funky basslines, nostalgia-filled synth stabs and Nile Rogers-esque guitar parts make this tune brilliantly fun and awfully catchy. The perfect tune to bring in the summer.

The Best of Fresh Finds (28/02/2018)

Floyd Fuji - Drama

Floyd Fuji is the solo project from Kyle Thornton of soul and R&B collective Kyle Thornton & The Company. 'Drama' is the first single released under his new moniker and it really is a gem. Channeling Anderson .Paak and Childish Gambino, the track is a sexy sounding soul number full of psychedelic moments and smooth instrumentals.

Cereals - Entertainers

German indie four-piece Cereals arrive with their debut single 'Entertainers'. The track is an energetic indie-pop influenced tune that smacks of The Strokes' early material. Its a fun, upbeat and energetic track that with the right exposure, is enough to get people feeling nostalgic for that early 2000s indie magic.

Falcon Jane - Go With the Flow

Falcon Jane makes music in the style of 'Plez Rock' which is apparently a genre inspired by nature, truth, peace and magic which, in all honesty, are things we can get behind. New single 'Go With The Flow' is a lovely song of laidback, layered vocals, dreampop infused synths and whistful guitar leads.

Knox White - You've Been My Girl

Knox White comes from LA and his music is exactly the kind of stuff you would want to soundtrack your LA lifestyle. The funky beats, warped synths and slapped bass lines make for essential listening.

Purr - Painted Memory

New York dreampop outfit Purr combine catchy vocal melodies with relaxed guitars to create a sound not too dissimliar to that of indie legends Real Estate. The harmonised boy/girl vocals are a touch of class and help Purr stand out from the ever growing indie crowd.

John Moods - Leap Of love

Believe it or not, John Moods' new tune 'Leap Of Love' was recorded on a phone whilst travelling around Spain and Portugal. Hailing from Germany, the multi-instumentalist has an endearingly high falsetto that cuts through the dreamlike instrumentation. 'Leap Of Love' is the first single of Moods' new album 'The Essential John Moods' released on April 20th.

Shiboski - Getaway

Released on Majestic Casual records, 'Getaway' is LA producer Shiboski's debut single. The track is an experimental piece packed full of warped synths, funky guitars, insane key changes and enough grooves to get any stiff hip moving. Keep an eye out for more from Shiboski as this tune slaps.
