Songs of the Week 177: August 19 – August 25

no kind of rider#5. No Kind of Rider – Autumn

Dark and grimy single from No Kind of Rider. Think it starts stronger than it ends, but it’s captivating nonetheless.


broods#4. Broods – Peach

soundcloud.com/broods

Been quite some time since I can recall hearing a track from Broods. Loving the fun, upbeat nature of Peach.


the1975#3. The 1975 – Tootimetootimetootime

soundcloud.com/the1975

Lots of 1975 here the last few weeks as the lads gear up for their new album by dropping singles. So far I’m very into everything I’ve heard.


wafia#2. Wafia – I’m Good

Mostly have come across Wafia as the lady behind catchy vocals on tracks by the likes of Thomston & Ta-Ku. This time we’re treated to a single that’s all hers and, as you’d expect, it’ll be stuck in your head for days.


machineheart#1. Machineheart – Do You Love

soundcloud.com/mchnheart

Obsessed with that guitar riff. Reminds me a lot of everything I love about The Boxer Rebellion, with the strong vocals, piercing instruments yet a feeling of silence.
