Hockeysmith – Hesitate

May 7, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

Listening to new track Hesitate, it’s hard to believe that Hockeysmith consists of just two sisters. Their sound is HUGE – staticky bass lines and fleeting synths fight for centre-stage […]

Bastard Mountain – Meadow Ghosts

April 25, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

Apologies for the lack of posts on here recently. It’s exam time approaching soon, and I’d told myself that I wouldn’t get caught up with blogging and the like for […]

Wolf Alice – Moaning Lisa Smile

April 3, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

I don’t think I can actually portray my love for Wolf Alice. From their initial folky roots to their polished indie-rock of today, they get better and better with every […]

tUnE-yArDs – Water Fountain

March 26, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

This song is crazy – but in a very good way. tUnE-yArDs (otherwise known as Merrill Garbus) have released a new track, and if there was ever a song to make […]

Sharon Van Etten – Taking Chances

March 10, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

Elara Caluna – The Sentence Ends With You

March 2, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

Anyone who knows me will be aware of my appreciation for the twisted, sinister stories spun by Nick Cave’s lyrics, so to find a track that emulates this kind of […]

Hundred Waters – Down From the Rafters

February 23, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

I was directed to this song by Alt-J’s Facebook page, and given that Hundred Waters have previously toured with Alt-J, that should give you some indication of what to expect […]

Fear of Men – Alta / Waterfall

February 15, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

This song (songs?) is so intriguing. It’s almost cold, yet still appears to remain strangely upbeat in places. Alta, the short intro track, focuses directly on Jess Weiss’ flawless, whimsical […]

Cloud Nothings – I’m Not Part Of Me

January 28, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

St Vincent – Digital Witness

January 13, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

Francis Lung – Selfish Man

January 7, 2014by streamofsound Leave a comment

After the inevitable disbandment of “heavy-pop” four piece WU LYF, it’s pleasing to see that the members are continuing to churn out new music in one form or another. Frontman Ellery […]

Plastic Mermaids – Polaroids

December 16, 2013by streamofsound Leave a comment

I will admit I was a little wary when I first clicked play on this song. Generally for me, guitar > electronics. That’s not to say I don’t like the […]

Slow Riot – Cooper’s Dream

December 8, 2013by streamofsound Leave a comment

I was contacted this week by Irish newcomers Slow Riot, who are making melancholy post-punk sounds that are very very similar to one of my favourite recent bands, Blaenavon. Their […]
