Nothing Weak about this tune except for the title

Blushing – Weak From Austin,Texas here’s Weak by Dream Pop/Shoe Gaze (Shoepop anyone??) quartet Blushing. Yep Cocteaus and Lush influences are evident but this is a fab pop song in it’s own right. Love the tempo changes and wonderful arrangements. Vocals,Rhythm and Guitars all gel together perfectly. These guys are ones to watch. The single…

SWIT’s WEEK: From Dublin we say hallow, ween yourself onto these cracking tunes from around the globe.

“That’s the freakiest Halloween mask you’ve worn in years,” sez Gerry to me. “I’m not wearing one” I reply, half-distracted, peering up from the printing press. “I know” he ripostes, laughing maniacally as he heads for the door, he’s like that, but I’m sure he loves me really. Speaking of all things spooky did you…

I can’t beleaf how great Still Trees are, and that’s no oak.

Buddy Holly, Elvis, Stray Cats, Beatles and so much much more, you can hear all the influences in the new single “For My Money” by Still Trees. Still, for my money, it’s so much more than that. Here’s a brilliant live version of “For My Money” (Pauer Sessions). Exuberant, joyful and full of attitude it…

Super World Interview Time: Lynette Williams

The first song I heard by Harlem’s Lynette Williams is “Light” and it blew me away, sparse, beautifully constructed, a deeply-felt indie/folk ballad and her voice, good God man, it still stops me in my tracks every time. Since then I’ve listened to everything I can find by her, she’s just pure class. She even…

Mucho EDO about nothing

EDO – Tu vuoi di più This caught my ear this morning as I listened through all the SWITscriptions we’re signed up to. It’s a very upbeat and happy tune straight from the off (I’ve no idea what he’s singing about) I’d like to dedicate it to Jude (Tom’s beautiful little daughter) and her family…

If Ukraine your neck you can just see Peredmova over there

Peredmova – Я Іду до Тебе (I’m coming to you) “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” Leonardo da Vinci Repetition, modification, simplicity, imagination, creation are all words that spring immediately to mind when I first heard Я Іду до Тебе by Peredmova. It’s a sweetly constructed electronic almost-lullaby, that shifts and changes organically but in a…
