Track Of The Day: Amaya Laucirica – ‘All Of Our Time’

If you’re having a stressful day, take comfort in the sweet sounds of Australian musician Amaya Laucirica‘s latest single ‘All Of Our Time’. Taken from her forthcoming album Rituals, which is set for release on 2nd March 2018, the track is a gentle, melodic reminder to take a deep breath and let life and love develop at its own pace.

Speaking about the relationship narrative aspect of the single, Amaya explains: “The weakness is that the spontaneity disappears and the fire needs to be reignited over time. The strength is that their love has the patience to endure.”

Rituals is Amaya’s fourth album and it follows on from her critically acclaimed 2008 debut Sugar Lights, 2010’s Early Summer (which saw Amaya supporting acts such as Blonde Redhead and Mark Lanegan) and 2014’s Sway.

Listen to ‘All Our Time’ below and follow Amaya on Facebook for more updates.

Rituals will be released on March 2nd 2018 via Opposite Number. The album will also be supported by a UK tour including dates to be announced in England, Scotland & Ireland.

Track Of The Day: Blakk Pearl – ‘Cowboy’

Blakk Pearl grew up in North London and moved to Devon when she was a young teenager, where she would watch her Father on US TV shows and hear of his activities in LA as a manager of NWA. She now lives in a convent outside of Toulouse in France, which serves as her creative hub and sanctuary. It’s where she produced her debut single ‘Cowboy’, which is the first track taken from her first EP, due to be released early next year on Kobalt.

Driven by a subtle backbeat and a warm marimba sound, ‘Cowboy’ showcases Blakk Pearl’s haunting, sleek vocals. The song was co-written with Tristin Norwell (Neneh Cherry, Talvin Singh, Noel Gallagher) and Pascal Gabriel (Goldfrapp, Marina & The Diamonds, Dido) with additional production by Curtis Lynch (Gorillaz, Alicia Keys, Gregory Isaacs).

Track Of The Day: Breakfast Muff – ‘Clam’

If you’re looking for “a cacophony of anxiety, celebration and creativity” look no further than Glasgow’s Breakfast Muff. The band have shared their latest single ‘Clam’, accompanied by a Super-8-style new video that you can watch below.

Breakfast Muff consists of Eilidh McMillan (Rapid Tan, Joanna Gruesome), Simone Wilson (Hairband, Mary Column) and Cal Donnelly (Spinning Coin, Rapid Tan), who all switch between guitar, bass and drums to create their songs about “sexuality, feminism and feelings.”

“‘Clam’ is about someone who lashes out at other people because they are scared of being themselves or being exposed in some way,” explains McMillan. The track is featured on the band’s recent album Eurgh! (available now via Amour Foo) which was nominated for The Skinny’s Albums of the Year and was included in the Rough Trade Album Club.

Listen to ‘Clam’ below.

Track Of The Day: Bamboo Smoke – ‘Sleepless’

A smooth, effortlessly produced electronic lullaby, Bamboo Smoke have shared their latest single ‘Sleepless’. Formed of lyricist & vocalist Lou and instrumentalist & producer Tom, the duo create hazy soundscapes with smoky undertones and soulful vocals.

A chance meeting on a rooftop brought Bamboo Smoke together at a time when Lou had armfuls of notebooks filled with words and melodies and Tom had a library of instrumentals desperate for the right voice. The duo have since spent months writing together in South London, riding trains, scrawling lyrics and bouncing phone recordings back and forth.

The band’s debut EP is a collection of songs written over the course of the last year, during sessions snatched from the temporal demands of life in London in your 20s jobs, blending the playful with the shadows, capturing fragments of dreams.

Listen to ‘Sleepless’ below.
