Less Acrobats – Dirty Lover

New from Israel’s BLDG5 Records (Garden City Movement) is “Dirty Lover”, the latest from Tel Aviv band Less Acrobats. On “Dirty Lover” the band neatly blend the seemingly disparate tones of Voodoo-era D’Angelo grooves and the more psychedelic tinges of the chillwave sound with a hint of added-in noisy gaze-derived guitar. It’s a cool refreshing sound that we’re really digging. Give “Dirty Lover” a spin below.

PLAZA – Youth

Hartlepool UK’s PLAZA stream third single online “Youth”. Constructed over a rudder of UK shoegaze’s more illustrious moments (the timbre of Slowdive particularly comes to mind here), “Youth” ably applies the gaze idiom into a modern gruffer frame that we’re digging.
