Track Of The Day: Zoey Lily (feat. Indigo Svn) – ‘Not There’

I’ve been a strong fan of Zoey Lily and everything she’s put out from the moment she popped into our inbox in 2015. Her music always delivers with its electro beats, catchy melodies and Zoey’s distinctive vocals. ‘Not There’ feat. Indigo Svn is no different. With her last single ‘Last Goodbye’ only released last month, she’s back already with her next release. And if there all as good as this… Then keep ’em coming Zoey!

‘Not There’ features American rapper Indigo Svn – him and Zoey were first brought together when she attended one of his shows in North London. The track defies the physical odds of living on the other side of the planet by recording the track within a day and Indigo SVN sending his contributions from his Brooklyn bedroom studio all the way over to the UK. Of the track Indigo SVN says, “In my eyes the project was the dominos falling in the most seamless way. I was in a great reflective mode when the song was brought to my ears and it was the therapy I needed, she helped me step out of my box a bit more too which is alway great when bringing new music to the people.”

I’m continually entranced by Zoey Lily’s hushed and at times haunting vocals and, combined with Indigo SVN on this track, I think it makes for a perfect union.

Track Of The Day: Ex-Vöid – ‘Boyfriend’

A mesh of melodic angst that explicitly champions self autonomy, Ex-Vöid have shared their debut single ‘Boyfriend’. Formed of ex-members of Joanna Gruesome Lan McArdle and Owen Williams, the pair embarked on this new musical venture after a chance meeting at a contemporary dance class.

Alongside Laurie Foster, Kester Davies and Jonny Coddington, McArdle and Williams have managed to quickly organise a three track record under the Ex-Vöid moniker, which they’ve released through Don Giovanni Records both digitally and on cassette.

Listen to ‘Boyfriend’ below.

Track Of The Day: Hilary Woods – ‘Prodigal Dog’

A mesmeric, gentle exploration of emotional claustrophobia, Hilary Woods‘ new single ‘Prodigal Dog’ is a disarming fusion of orchestral strings, understated synths and hushed vocals. It’s the second track she’s shared from her upcoming debut album Colt, which is set for release via Sacred Bones Records on 8th June.

Based in Dublin, the multi-talented artist has also shared a monochrome video to accompany ‘Prodigal Dog’. “I set out to make a video that was slightly claustrophobic,” Woods explains about the visuals. “Cyclical, predominantly black in colour, one that traced the internal feeling from where the song was written.” It’s this tender, yet uncomfortable context that makes the footage such a captivating watch.

Woods has described the songs on her debut album Colt as “a way to process and make sense of the everyday. A means to speak with inner voices, explore aloneness, and understand the complexities of desire.” With this in mind, we can’t wait to listen to the record and to hear her exquisite pain live at St. Pancras Church on 11th June.

Watch the video for ‘Prodigal Dog’ below and follow Hilary Woods on Facebook for more updates.

Track Of The Day: Tigercats – ‘Candy’s Tailor’

Three years since the release of the critically-acclaimed Mysteries, Tigercats have returned with their much-anticipated third album Pig City.

Taken from the album is latest single ‘Candy’s Tailor’. Filled with twinkling, jangly melodies and uptempo, calypso-like beats, it flows with raw vocals and rich layers of sound, creating an utterly uplifting summer anthem.

Inspired by the band’s anger at the incessant gentrification of East London as developers close in on the studio they call home, Pig City offers a broadening of the band’s pop influences, expanding into highlife, afrobeat, and scuzzy West African psych.

 

Pig City is out now via Spanish label El Segell del Primavera. Catch Tigercats live at the following dates:

3rd June – Primavera Festival, Barcelona
23rd June – Not A Cult Festival, Malvern
29th July – Indietracks Festival, Derbyshire
