A kaleidoscopic collection of new music—hand-picked for you. If you’re craving driven sounds, Friend of a Friend deliver. OY and Kety Fusco bring along exotic and mystic dance vibes, while Frank Popp Ensemble drown you in exceptional nostalgia and Snapped Ankles channel anger.
Friend of a Friend
oasis
The unyielding urge in oasis rises to a towering wave of rock. Unsuspecting, maybe innocent at first, Chicago-based duo Friend of a Friend washes you away when the song gets louder, more dangerous and conjuring. Claire Molek and Jason Savsani excel in this mantra-esque, hypnotic atmosphere.
OY
Nkrabea - Destiny
Joy Frempong and Melodydreamer, alias OY, meander between Amapiano and Afrobeat in their latest single, Nkrabea - Destiny. Honouring Frempong’s Ghanaian roots, she sings in Twi, her father’s tongue. A pulsating song celebrating destiny, hope, and aspiration in an evocative and danceable fashion.
Snapped Ankles
Pay The Rent
Further teasing their upcoming album, Hard Times Furious Dancing, UK’s Snapped Ankles display an uncompromising, ravishing sound in Pay The Rent. Palpable anger about the cost-of-living crisis collides with razor-sharp synths, pierced by post-punk shrapnel, erupting in a fiery clash.
Frank Popp Ensemble
Going Going Gone (feat. J Mahon)
Exceptionally executed 70s-inspired soul, delivered by the Frank Popp Ensemble and the androgynic vocals by Australian singer-songwriter J Mahon. Going Going Gone is a flawless, larger-than-life anthem, dripping vintage like viscous honey from the spoon, but it just sounds too good to be mere nostalgia bait.
Kety Fusco
BLOW
Kety Fusco, Switzerland’s ambassador for a reimagined harp, demonstrates her virtuosity again in the latest release, BLOW. Somewhere between a trippy atmosphere and a club-adjacent beat, Fusco unifies earthy mystery and otherworldly sounds into a captivating song, providing two options: dream or dance.
