Tom Cambell – aka UncleBoy – is a writer and producer creating magic in his Bristol home studio. Blending hypnogogic sounds with the sensibilities of modern psychedelia, his music doesn’t shy away from complex topics dealing with loneliness, climate anxiety and failure, convey the depths of his mind through the incantation of his song. UncleBoy’s latest track, ‘Blue Forever Blue’ looks forward towards his second album of the same name that is to come in the Spring of 2022, bringing more of his singular charm and indulgent, synesthetic sounds.

A title that can be expanded to the question Where’s That Leave Us Now, this track sees the brother duo shower the world in synth raindrops. Soaking your soul with breezy junctures of bass and glistening lyrics that refract memories of classic 80s hits.

Cardiff’s Tom Auton is back with yet another punchy rock track, ‘Devil On My Shoulder’. Following a supporting spot for the Welsh legends Feeder and in preparation for his own UK headline tour, Tom has returned to his studio – dubbed ‘The Syncopation Station’ – to explore the darkest corners of his mind. By recording, mixing and producing everything himself, Tom ensures that his work stays true to his own unique sound – one which earned him support from Sirius XM, Amazing Radio, BBC Radio Wales and Radio 1’s Jack Saunders. 

Hailing from Motherwell, Scotland, A Sudden Burst of Colour are a band unafraid to explore and push musical boundaries. Continuing to build on the electronic elements of their previous release, ‘Transgressor/Decoder’, their latest track, ‘Pulsator’, is a dive into “shimmering, sun-blushed style of post rock.” In adherence to the band’s DYI ethos, the single was produced, recorded and mixed by bass player Calum Farquharson, with artwork and accompanying music video produced by drummer Liam Shaw. 

Drawing an end to what has been a magnificent year for this Nottingham-based band, they ride the waves of newfound emotion. With the verse and chorus moulding together like two sides of the same coin, the distinct motifs of loneliness and hope tie themselves together through reverberating guitar strings.

Making mesmerising music from the depths of their Brooklyn studio-apartment, Andrea de Varona and Josh Ford – aka Fake Dad – are a couple and a creative duo. Despite coming from different musical backgrounds, Andrea and Josh merge their sounds into a resonant and magical concoction, that seeks to both surprise and comfort their listeners. Their latest track, ‘I Like The Beach’ celebrates their playful romance, and draws inspiration from Trent Reznor’s haunting film-scores. Self-produced under the mentorship of Grammy award winning producer Swagg, Fake Dad are ready to make their mark on the Brooklyn indie scene and beyond.

Hailing from all over Scotland, Pizza Crunch came together in Glasgow, where after only a short time together, they produced three debut singles that gained the attention of multiple blogs and radio stations, including BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 6 Music and Amazing Radio.

Following a collaboration with synth-pop producer SKYEPAINT and the release of an acoustic EP, Ella Sterland – aka Bares – returns to her indie-soul roots with her newest single, ‘Fruit’. Written and recorded in Melbourne with collaborator Renee Stein and with input from band mate Jazure, ‘Fruit’ is a celebration of winter and all things calm and comforting. Barnes’ recent successes have included landing a Netflix sync in the cult-favourite ‘Terrace House’, as well as scoring a place on two Spotify editorial playlists, and with her latest release, Barnes proves that she has no intention of slowing down.

22-year-old singer/songwriter Peri Rae magically captures the trials and tribulations of 20-somethings worldwide with their eloquent and vulnerable music. Inspired by the wistfulness of acoustic Brit-pop and the quiet verbosity of Phoebe Bridges, their music seeks to capture and understand their chaotic experiences, while also sharing them with others. Peri’s latest track, ‘Fair Enough’, builds on their viral TikTok story and was recorded at their producer’s, Jessica Sharman’s, house in the country-side. 

Hailing from Dunedin, New Zealand, singer/songwriter Mia Söhnge has been releasing music under the stage name Mia Jay since 2019, scoring two EPs and a two national tours in the process. Now, in her new guise as Miakie, Mia seeks to move away from the indie-folk scene, instead embracing a more pop-facing direction. Miakie’s new moniker pays tribute to her childhood nickname and signals a return to introspection and narrative-focused song-writing, while her debut single ‘Resonating’ looks forward to a forthcoming EP made in collaboration with Devin Abrams.

A movement of classic indie rock primed for stadium performances, this track sees the Bristol-based five-piece shatter all that has come before with a tornado of synth, guitar and percussion. Awakening your soul with evershifting whirls of sound, it bursts into euphoric choruses that demand you to sing along.

Returning to pull spooky 90s cult classics into the modern age through the magic of alternative indie, 'Something Beautiful' feels like a missed piece of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Living and breathing between the light and dark elementals of love, this New Yorker locks visceral emotions into the airwaves through her haunting voice, electronic drums and synths.

Led by keys that reverberate through the air, this young songwriter from Warsaw takes no time to push you into the unexpected. Leaving the sparse instrumental world behind for a hyperactive concoction of percussion and bubbling synths. Returning only to her acoustic grounding for emotional breaths of stabilisation.

A reflective conversation between her two selves, the single both critiques and overcomes her flaws. Experimenting with alternative manifestations of R&B, the track explodes into a chorus that blends the essence of Disclosure with Billie Eilish into a steaming brew of euphoria.

It's almost undeniable that her years of travelling from Bristol to her recent home of Croydon have treated her well. Moulding her into a dark pop princess whose electronic blend of indie is rich and expressive. Refined to become a complex storm of bubbling layers that always succeeds at putting your mind at ease.

As only his third single to date, this Switz-born, London-based artist moves to the beat of his own electronic drum in waves of intoxicating melody. Lyrically worrying about being blinded by closeness, the track’s body of synths skip on clouds while the short sunbeams of saxophone provided by Charlotte Land dissipate all the coexisting fears.
