Henry Coke - I Want To Feel It In My Heart

South London musician and producer Henry Coke has today revealed his endearing new single I Want To Feel It In My Heart. Born into a lineage of vicars and church leaders, Henry drifted from the constraints of the church to wrestle with faith and God out in the open, finding reflections of his songs in the works of Sufjan Stevens, Bob Dylan, Young Fathers and Low. Here, we get a powerful glimpse of his capabilities as rousing percussion and soaring vocals drive the track toward its towering climax. Of the single Henry shares: “I Want To Feel It In My Heart' is the envy of the feeling of faith, the desperation to feel free in its grace and simplicity. What is living worth if you don’t have a reason? It’s a call to be shown something in a void of silence. People seem to find peace in the silence, and it’s the longing to also feel that way, instead of feeling fearful of it.” Take a listen below. 

Live dates
Tues 11th August - The George Tavern, London

jo from school - Weight

Following on from last month's single Julia Robertsjo from school returns today with the tender offering, Weight, ahead of her forthcoming debut EP, Grace, Flair & Distance, which will be released on the 7th August via Chess Club Records. Acting as an introspective moment of reflection, the track’s softly plucked guitar melodies and calming vocals reveal another layer of the artist’s dynamic talent. Speaking about ‘Weight’, Jo explains: “This one was unique in that it was hard to keep writing, but [my producer] Rich knew it could be something. We understood that there was a fine line between supporting the songwriting and emphasising the parts that needed a push, and overdressing the song to a point where the rawness is covered up and lost. It was the first time he ‘pushed’ for me to continue with an idea - I’m very grateful he did. It’s a soft and heavy song, and my favourite to play live.” Take a listen below with the video, shot by Jo’s sister, Grace, on a family holiday in the lush Welsh countryside.



Live Dates
Thursday 23rd July - Folio Presents @ Free Will Prison, London
Friday 25th - Son Estrella Galicia Soundhood @ Hackney Style Council, London

Ahead of her forthcoming new album Pylon, out September 18 on Dirty Hit/Interscope Records, beabadoobee has returned today with the brilliant new single Switchblade. A bold statement of intent, the second track lifted from the LP rides a convulsing beat, serving up another irresistible taste of what's to come. Sharing details on the album, Laus says: "Pylon is about accepting that negative feelings are going to come back—accepting the insecurity and feeling confused. It’s all a necessary part of growing and knowing yourself better. You have to go through all that shit, I have to write about it." Take a listen below.

Jess Williamson - Goodbye To All That

Coinciding with the announcement of her forthcoming new album, A Mile South of Heaven, due out October 9th, Texas-born singer-songwriter Jess Williamson has today shared the LP's first single, Goodbye to All That. Inspired by her favorite Joan Didion essay by the same name, Williamson reveals, “Didion’s essay is about leaving New York after eight years and how ‘it’s distinctly possible to stay too long at the fair.’ In my eighth year of living in LA, I felt it was time to leave. I wrote this song as my farewell to LA, but songs are powerful in sneaky ways, and the song itself changed my mind. I realised I wasn't finished with life in LA” Take a listen below.

1. Goodbye to All That
2. High Heels and Blue Jeans
3. Country Mile
4. A Mile South of Heaven

Nothing But Thieves - Stray Dogs

Photo Credit: Steve Gullick

After a decade as a band, four albums, millions of streams and worldwide live shows, the only thing left for Nothing But Thieves was Evolution. Recently announcing their next chapter, the band returned with news of their fifth studio album ‘Stray Dogs’ released on 25th September via RCA/Sony Music. Today sees them unveil their latest single and title track from the record, alongside an animated visualiser created by acclaimed British visual artist Weirdcore. Speaking about the track the band share, "We've spent a long time writing about the negative aspects of pack mentality - tribalism, division. This song is the converse. ‘Stray Dogs’ is about finding your people. The image that stayed with us was of our road family, when there are thirty of us gathered in some far-flung part of the world. Or the moment the doors open and thousands of people come streaming into a festival or one of our shows, becoming one. It's about belonging and shared momentum. I guess the community we have built for the last decade. Once the idea of ‘Stray Dogs’ was fully formed, it made sense to base the rest of the album around it." Take a listen/watch below.

Little Grandad’s vocalist and guitarist Harry Lower shares the following: “I’d been listening to lots of old French music like Edith Piaf and had become really into trying to write traditional songs. As I started to write the song it became clear it was going to sound nothing like that. Babe, We’ve Run Out Of Time is the band’s 1940s-inspired indie-rock song.” Take a listen below.

Jack Kaye - The Weight

Photo credit / Dan Kendall

Following on from his debut solo single 'Dora, Jack Kaye is back with his second offering in the form of The Weight. Taken from the newly announced EP Go Easy, set for release August 14th on Fascination Street Records, the track highlights his perfected pop brilliance, pairing bold songwriting with an insatiable delivery. On the new single, Jack Kaye says - "There were lots of big life changes that happened for me around the same time. The end of the band kind of signalled that, and the wave of real, adult life knocked me back a bit. It’s about coming to terms with the responsibility of real life; earning a living outside of the band, starting a family… I was also thinking about my Dad, and the ways I want to be like him as a parent, and the things I’d like to do differently. So that’s in there as well" Take a listen below. 

Live Dates
July 7th - The George Tavern, London (with Kamran Khan)
August 13th - Kings Cross Summer Sounds, London
Sept 9th - The George Tavern, London (EP Launch)

Sebastian Schub - “kiss of life. (you’re kinda magical)”

Credit: Una Burnand

Sebastian Schub has returned with his first new music of the year sharing the insatiably catchy new single “kiss of life. (you’re kinda magical)”. Opening an exciting new chapter, the track's fun melodies and infectious choruses offer a thrilling glimpse of what's to come. Explaining further, he says, “kiss of life is definitely the most fun I’ve ever had making a record. It’s everything overflowing all at once. On the surface it’s a song about falling in love, but really, it’s an ode to my friends and the people around me - it's about the joy and gratitude I feel whenever I’m with them. Two of them unexpectedly became parents recently and it really ended up shaping the heart of the song. In the end I just had to get them all to perform on the record - including the baby. It’s definitely the most fun I’ve ever had on a song.” Take a listen below.
