Video Premiere: Johanna Glaza – ‘Exile’

Following 2017’s Wind Sculptures, Lithuanian artist – and former guest on the GIHE radio show – Johanna Glaza – has now announced a brand new album.

Taken from the album, she has now shared poignant lead track ‘Exile’. Showcasing the spellbinding sweeping power of Glaza’s exquisite unique vocals, it flows with an ethereal majesty as an immense soaring musicality flows, with shades of the twinkling splendour of Kate Bush. A truly enchanting listen.

Watch the beautiful new video for ‘Exile’ now:

Exile, the upcoming new album from Johanna Glaza, is out 28th February.

Video Premiere: Piney Gir – ‘Puppy Love’

Having shared a stage with the likes of Gaz Coombes and Noel Gallagher, Kansas-born London-based artist Piney Gir has been charming our ears for some time. Now, following last year’s dreamily eclectic album You Are Here, Piney has shared an effervescent new video for album track ‘Puppy Love’.

Oozing a honey-sweet romanticism, ‘Puppy Love’ glistens with twinkling hooks and sweeping harmonies as an endearing, scuzzy energy flows throughout. On the one hand, nostalgically harking back to the simpler times of crushes and the pain of first (‘Puppy’) love, the track also reflects on the common metaphor for depression – the ‘Black Dog’ – its all-consuming nature, and the struggles of mental health. A poignant and infectious offering, it could just be the perfect, bitter-sweet, accompaniment to the mixed feelings that go hand in hand with the love-filled celebrations of the upcoming month.

Of the track, Piney explains:

“Everyone feels the darkness sometimes, so I’m singing about it… It’s a thin line between Puppy Love and The Black Dog; both can be all consuming and agonising and at times euphoric, manic even.”

Watch the colourful, uplifting new video for ‘Puppy Love’ now:

‘Puppy Love’ is out on 14th February and will be available as a special Valentine download from Bandcamp. You can catch Piney Gir live, headlining for us on that night at The Finsbury, where you’ll also be able to get your hands on a special download code.

Premiere: AyOwA – ‘First Frost’

Following infectious offerings such as ‘Alt Det Du Ku’ and 2018’s EP Farvel, and support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music, our favourite Danish duo are back with an evocative new single, ahead of their upcoming debut album.

Told from the perspective of a couple who have spent their whole life together and are now setting out into the winter to disappear as one, ‘First Frost’ flows with AyOwA’s distinctive swirling synths and the beguiling haunting power of Hannah Schneider’s vocals. A shimmering, cinematic soundscape, it’s an utterly captivating reflection on lasting love and the strength of togetherness.

‘First Frost’ is out tomorrow, 31st January, and Amoeba, the upcoming debut album from AyOwA, is set for release in September this year.

Premiere: Ennieloud – ‘The Best I Can’

Having previously charmed us with the swirling energy of previous single ‘In My Room’, London band Ennieloud are back with a bewitching new single.

A poignant reflection on the twin poles of femininity, ‘The Best I Can’ oozes a soulful, upflifting groove alongside immersive throbbing basslines and the deep, impassioned power of front woman Cassandra’s spellbinding vocals. A musically rich soundscape, offering an empowering and sincere expression of inner strength in the face of adversity. Of the track, the band explain:

“It’s about the remarkable inner power and resilience of women, taking the form of a dialogue between the strong and the weak in all of us. Even if we feel so fragile sometimes, we have a great inner strength that can guide us to our dreams. Dream and be strong!”

Listen to ‘The Best I Can’, for the first time, here:

‘The Best I Can’ is out 24th January
