Track Of The Day: Æ MAK – ‘Glow’

Full of “tribal rhythms, soaring synths and lush vocal harmonies,” Irish art pop artist Æ Mak has shared her latest single ‘Glow’. Described as “dance music with a bite,” the track smoulders with vibrant beats and ultra cool vocals.

Æ Mak has been showcasing her distinctive style on Ireland’s live circuit over the last year, supporting Warpaint in Dublin and performing at a number of acclaimed Irish festivals such as Other Voices and Electric Picnic. 2018 looks like another promising year for her, as she’s been confirmed to play Latitude and she’s been chosen to be part of PRS Foundation’s ReBalance programme, which was introduced to help tackle gender inequality on festival lineups in the future.

WATCH: Pillow Queens – ‘Favourite’ (acoustic)

Irish indie band Pillow Queens have shared an acoustic version of their recent single ‘Favourite’, proving their gentler musical arrangements can still pack an emotional punch. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming EP State of The State, which is set for release via Specialist Subject on 16th March.

Pillow Queens’ charm and energy still flows through this softer rendition of ‘Favourite’ and it permeates the sound on their upcoming EP too. The band worked with Producer Peter Ashmore to finalise their musical explorations of “emotional highs and lows”, including the “frustration of trying to succeed in post-recession Ireland” and the toll that can take on your mental health.

Pillow Queens will be touring Ireland and the UK in April, so make sure you learn all of the words to ‘Favourite’ before you head along to one of their shows.

IRELAND & UK TOUR:
April 5th – Galway, Roisin Dubh
April 7th – Cork, AMP
April 9th – Bristol, Hy Brasil
April 10th – London, Sebright Arms
April 11th – Guildford, The Boileroom
April 12th – Brighton, Prince Albert

Track Of The Day: Bitch Falcon – ‘Of Heart’

Having previously wowed us with their incredible live set at The Finsbury, and received support from the likes of Huw Stephens, Dublin band Bitch Falcon are fast building a reputation for their unique brand of raucous rock anthems. And latest single ‘Of Heart’ looks set to continue this run of success…

At an epic six minutes long, the band’s latest offering is drenched in a swirling, reverb-filled scuzz as it takes a hold of you with its dark, seething power. As the raw ferocity of Lizzie Fitzpatrick’s vocals penetrate with their immense, snarling power, the track builds to a whirring, frenzied climax; once again securing Bitch Falcon’s place as one of the most exciting bands to come out of Ireland in a very long time.

We cannot wait for Bitch Falcon to ferry over to play for us again soon (please)!

‘Of Heart’ is out now. Stream on Spotify and iTunes.
