Lanks – Knife and Spear

lanks

Lanks is the project of Australian musician Will Cuming. Sophomore single “Knife and Spear” succeeds on its half-time rhythmic/instrumental feel and it’s Bon/McMorrow-styled harmonic wanderings. We are spinning it.

As Elephants Are – Went Wrong

aselephantsare

“Went Wrong”, the new single from UK band As Elephants Are, is the Buckinghamshire four-piece’s best track to date. Constructed of the components of breakout melancholic UK rock; huge guitar atmospheres fomenting drama, instantly in your head soaring melodies, and just the right amount of incident in the lyric, “Went Wrong” is the caliber of track that given the correct push and exposure could just level and decimate Radio 1 and beyond. As Elephants Are’s “Hand Print”s EP is due May 5th.

Wolf Alice – Moaning Lisa Smile

wolfalice2

The impressive Wolf Alice announce today second EP “Creature Songs” out May 23rd on Dirty Hit Records. The driving (but a thoughtfully composed sort of drive) “Moaning Lisa Smile” is the EP’s lead single and knocks it clear out in the big chorus, face melting, and must listen categories.
