GLIMMERPOST - 'GLOOMBOX'

Glimmerpost is a shoegaze/indie pop duo that literally spans the globe – singer/guitarist Nick is based in the USA while Nick (keys and production) lives in Australia. Living proof that the internet is used for more than just cat memes and porn. Glimmerpost’s self-titled EP is out now featuring the opener ‘Gloombox’.

Białogard – ‘White Morning’

BIALOGARD - ‘WHITE MORNING’

Milan’s Białogard have released their new EP ‘Studies On Distance’ featuring the ethereal ‘White Morning’. With shoegaze influences and post rock outbreaks, Białogard’s real point of difference is how progressive they get, often trailing off into instrumental mazes that make you forget all about the need for vocals. Whilst ‘Studies On Distance’ runs at just six tracks, there’s more than thirty minutes of material to delve into – stream the rest here.

Lockets – ‘Surrender’

LOCKETS - 'SURRENDER'

Philly dream poppers Lockets are back with the new single ‘Surrender’ – pick it up on 7inch from Beautiful Strange (preorders coming in a few weeks). This time round the duo are sounding unashamedly 80s with giant snare hits, muted guitar lines and synth pads throughout. No doubt this cleaned up sound will appeal to a wider audience than the hazy ‘Camera Shy’ release of last July.
