The beautiful people over at Italian Beach Babes are streaming Sealings’ eponymous EP in its entireity. If you’re partial to loud, scuzzy rock, I cannot recommend this highly enough. If you like what you hear, you buy a digital copy or pick up a limited edition green vinyl here. Sealings S/T EP by Sealings
Wild Nothing have released a video for Paradise, and it’s almost as stunning as the song itself. It features Michelle Williams reading an extract from A Word Child by Iris Murdoch, recorded in the Rare Book Room (where the song/album was recorded). If you like what you hear, be sure to download the track here....
Young Rival just dropped a new video for the track Two Reasons, and had this to say about it: Just about a year ago we stumbled upon the face-paint artwork of James Kuhn and decided to e-mail him to see if he’d be up for a collaborative video. He said yes, and after we received...
I don’t think album titles come much more fitting than Night Move’s ‘Colored Emotions’. It’s both filled with lush, colourful textures and clearly from the heart. It features vocals that can be described as both soulful and howling, and guitar lines that beg to be swayed along to. Basically, it’s fucking great, and you should...
How to Dress Well (aka Tom Krell) is currently streaming his new album, Total Loss, ahead of its release next week. The album is full of sublimely haunting, RnB-influenced sounds, and is one of the strongest efforts I’ve heard recently. About his creative process, Krell stated: “I had reached a point in my own life...
You can now stream Grizzly Bear’s new album in its entirety over at NPR. Whilst preliminary listening suggests it’s not as lush or majestic as Yellow House & Veckatimest, it’s still definitely worth a listen. Check out ‘Sleeping Ute’ and ‘Yet Again’ in particular. Shield is released on the 17th September via Warp Records.
Just when you thought these hilarious promo videos had maxed out the awesomeness quotient for Religious Girls’ new album, I Want to Believe, those generous and crazy gents have decided to give the album away for free via Bandcamp. However, it’s only for one day, so get on it whilst you can. If you’re a...
As much as we all hate to admit it, autumn is pretty much upon us. I can’t think of anything more fittingly seasonal than Fossil Collective’s new video for ‘On and On’, featuring copper-toned woodland scenes and cross-species romance (not as weird as it sounds). ‘On and On’ is the eponymous track from their new...
Our song of the week is the sweet-yet-melancholy Everytime You Make Me by Brass Bed. Warning: if you do press play, there is a very high chance that the line ‘Every time you make me, you know you break me’ will get stuck in your head and haunt you for days. [Audio clip: view full...
This video from Hippos in Tanks artist Physical Therapy accompanies one of At the Sinema’s favourite songs of the year. Taken from his Safety Net EP, the video for ‘Drone On’ includes err…well, some brides rollerblading, for starters. The song itself is a dreamy pop number with added breakbeats, the drums acting as a stark...
Following a slew of fantastic tracks and at least one great remix, Jessie Ware’s debut album is finally here. And it’s pretty damn great. Featuring production from Dave Okumu from The Invisible as well as house producer Julio Bashmore, this could well be one of ATS’s favourite records of the year so far. Stream...
