Night House emote shimmering electro-folk notes on spellbinding new single Blackout.
Brighton-based Night House are delighted to announce the release of their spellbinding new single Blackout, taken from the debut album, Everyone Is Watching From Afar, out on 27th March 2020 via Back in The Woods Records.
Blending electronic beats, orchestral arrangements and lyric-driven song-writing, Night House has a sound that is almost spiritual; beautiful, uplifting ethereal harmonies meld with modern electronica to create a warm, intelligent sound that is reminiscent of Björk and Wild Beasts, with lead singer Nicholas Williams aptly described by Radio Reverb as a “falsetto Tom Waits”. This has seen Night House pick up support from tastemakers such as M-Magazine (PRS for Music) and Clash Magazine, as well as premiering videos on Attitude Magazine and God is in the TV.
The collective draw from a wide range of influences marrying the electronic work the likes of which James Blake and Radiohead are renowned for, with the folk harmonies of Sufjan Stevens, Joni Mitchell, and Bon Iver. Co-produced and mixed by Dan Brown (Massive Attack, Jerry Williams, Luca), the record was written during a period of family bereavement with the personal lyrics drifting over warm strings and clarinets, where layered vocal harmonies meet icy synthesizers and electronic beats.
Generation Dude share blues-infused single Top Of The Heap!
Taken from their upcoming EP Crimes Against Yourself - due for release on 21st February 2019 - irreverent rock duo Generation Dude have now shared their blues-infused new single Top of The Heap, out now.
Throughout the EP, the duo combine elements of classic rock, blues and folk to create a sound that is completely their own. Ballad tracks such as Airplane Model Glue and Top Of The Heap, have a more blues-inspired tone, as the duo’s rich instrumentation is able to take centre stage and vintage guitar twangs are at the forefront. Of the EP, Terence Schoshinski (lead vocals and guitars) explains, “the writing and recording of these songs unfolded organically without time pressure, yielding a sonic session of Everyman Therapy; get in the sunshine, dump a bucket of cold water on your head, own your roots and talk back to the man.”
Indie-pop newcomer CHERITON - aka Nick Harrison - has released his addictive debut single Parallel, out now via So Good So Good.
The single - produced by Andy Hall Hall (Bastille, Fickle Friends, James Gillespie) - reflects on social media and the damaging effects it can have on mental health. CHERITON elaborates, “its a story of how fantasies and image projection run alongside reality and how people perceive relationships”. Reminiscent of the likes of Passion Pit or Metronomy, CHERITON combines sparkling synths and vibrant melodies with effortless harmonies to create an undeniably infectious hook-driven, guitar-pop gem.
