The monotony helps break up the pedantry with the #Week10 Football picks!
Birmingham duo GANS deliver a gut-punch with "I THINK I LIKE YOU," a raw anthem tackling body dysmorphia and its relationship fallout, produced by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, Amyl & The Sniffers).Since forming in late 2023, Euan Woodman (drums/vocals) and Tom Rhodes (bass/vocals) have built momentum through six singles and a fiercely DIY visual approach – collaborating with Benji Charles on footage while handling editing themselves. Their recent BBC 6 Music B-list placement for "In Time" and tours with The Libertines and Hamish Hawk demonstrate their rising profile.
Freak Slug's "Killer" emerges as a standout from the newly announced vinyl release of "I Blow Out Big Candles (But With A Cherry On Top)" via Future Classic. The track sees Manchester artist Xenya Genovese channeling '90s alternative influences into something thoroughly unsettling yet captivating.
Tshegue's “Plus de place nulle part” is an absolute banger with a striking video directed by Baptiste Penetticobra, set entirely inside a car at night. The French-Congolese artist and three teenagers gradually surrender to the music's rhythm, their bodies increasingly animated in the confined space.
M(h)aol returns with "DM:AM," a track that emerged from twenty minutes of creative lightning in a Dublin studio. The Irish post-punk trio has announced their sophomore album "Something Soft," arriving May 16th via Merge Records, following their acclaimed 2023 debut "Attachment Styles."
