Listen: 65daysofstatic - KMF [EP Preview]

Words: Saam Das

We've written about 65daysofstatic from the very earliest days of this website, many moons ago, and we're pleased to say that the post-somethingorother outfit are still going strong. Indeed, their new track 'KMF' is the first taste of a year-long subscription project with monthly releases through Bandcamp. The band claim that it'll be "better than Netflix". Bold.

Listen: CAPPA - I Do [New Single]

Words: Saam Das

Whenever we hear the name CAPPA, we immediately think of the tracksuit proprietors (Kappa, who surprisingly once sponsored Scottish post-rockers Mogwai) or Cillian Murphy's character in the fantastic 'Sunshine' (Capa) but this rising LA-based popstar is burrowing her own notable spot in popular culture. CAPPA returned with a bang recently, with her latest electro-pop single 'I Do'.

Review: Game Of Thrones Season 8, Episode 1 - 'Winterfell'

Words: Diana Von R

After a seemingly endless wait, the first episode of Season 8 of 'Game Of Thrones' graced our screens last Monday at 2 am. For me, I was on holiday in Sweden and planned to wake up at 3am to watch it live. Thankfully sense prevailed and I just watched it the moment I woke up at 6am to avoid any spoilers on social media. As expected though, spoilers for 'Winterfell' (S08E01) are ahead.

Listen: Gabrielle Aplin - Nothing Really Matters [New Single]

Words: Saam Das

It's been a number of years since we first featured Gabrielle Aplin, who joined forces with BASTILLE to deliver a cover of 'Dreams' by Fleetwood Mac on the 2012 mixtape 'Other People's Heartache Pt 2'. She went onto mainstream success soon after, with a No.1 UK single and two successful albums, driven by a stripped-back folk-led sound. So the Taylor Swift-esque 'Nothing Really Matters' comes as something of a surprise. An infectious pop surprise.

Almost out of nowhere, Norway's finest proponents of orchestral pop Team Me returned in early 2019 with an expanded line-up and a new track, 'Blurry Precise', their first material since disbanding in 2015. They've been welcomed back with open arms on previous label, the excellent Propeller Recordings, and understandably so. Seemingly back to their very best, albeit with a twist, as shown on the more electronic-led 'The Future In Your Eyes'.

Watch: Donald Glover + Rihanna In 'Guava Island' (2019)

Words: Saam Das

It seems that every week, a new shake-up emerges in terms of cinematic release mechanisms and 'Guava Island' is this week's pioneering film. Conceived by creative polymath Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) and his 'Atlanta'-directing collaborator Hiro Murai, musical drama 'Guava Island' premiered at this weekend's Coachella Festival in the States before landing on Amazon Prime - and better yet, is available to watch for free for all users for a (very) limited time.
