New sounds: 16/9/24

Former Champ - Sorry
From Glasgow, so as we well know by now there's a bunch of members of other bands in here too, the recent Martha tour support deliver snappy Replacements-leaning power-pop.



Jeremy Warmsley - Dancing On The Moon
Just as we start thinking about next year's STN twentieth anniversary, one of our hype OGs returns with an almost stately - we say "almost" as there's plenty of effects and touches to throw it enough off-centre - piano lament.



Lilith Ai - Serial Killers Prefer Blondes
Precision targetd bubblegrunge/emo from the Alldayer alumni's tremendous, long gestating new album of the same name.



Memory Of Speke - Wife Once
IT'S A BRIXTON WINDMILL BAND, EVERYBODY! So obviously yes, there's six of them, one of them plays sax, they've clearly heard some klezmer, and their songs going by this debut are theatrical and gradually wrap tightly around themselves. They might end up as The Last Dinner Party's evil twins.



Sasha Adrian – Shell
From Copenhagen and despite the lilting, searching nature of the guitars it's not easy going, lyrically dense and smart in its unflinching rawness as she finds herself silent screaming at unwanted sexual attention.
