Thanks to everyone for tuning in for another Beat The Delete list of our favourite new music from recent submissions...we hope you find a new favourite !

End Scene

Track: Bittersweet Spell From: All My Ghosts (album) Label: Self released Out: Now

Directly from deepest reference points of the more dulcet end of the 16 Lovers Lane / The Go Betweens aesthetic, this Sydney based duo of James Jennings and Tom Dufficy, wear their musical hearts on their sleeves and do it with massive aplomb !

Wild Mamas

Track: Suenos From: Monkey in the Kitchen (single) Label: Sweet Grooves Records Out: Now

Drifting in between the musical delights of the Madbil Spanish pop sound and The Lightning Seeds style of languid jangly riffs, this Spanish act is everything that is so right about the pop in that country.

Hollow Hand

Track: One Last Summer From: One Last Summer (single) Label: Cosmic Ocean Out: Now

Gene Clark style jangled juxtaposed with washed out Big Star vibes and pop-rock sensibilities. This Max Kinghorn-Mills solo project/track is the jangliest trip down 60/70s memory lane you could ever wish for.

Heaven’s Cameras?

Track: Fiscal Weeks From: Shutters Firing (album) Label: Repeating Cloud Out: 04 Feb 2022

Does Mark Lanegan fronting the twanging, jangly riffs of The Umbrella Puzzles sound like something that might a) be brilliant or b) only be possible in your wildest dreams? Well it is here. Make sure you don’t miss out on the fortcoming album from this Alex Merrill solo project, that is out in Feb 2022

Who Was Watching?

Track: Hard Times From: Hard Times (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

The perfect balance between psyche-pop and the modernity of the lo-fi / bedroom pop movement, all spliced with the slack stringed, Pavement riff style. This Andy Elizalde solo project simply oozes originality.

OkNoah

Track: I Don’t Wanna Be Here From: Maybe Tomorrow (EP) Label: Waterfall of Colours Out: Now

Lo-fi, bedroom-pop, fuzz, jangle, Soccer Mommy, Palehound, manic…whatever adjectives you choose to use, this brilliant Bern, Switzerland based act, is all of them and so many more!

Shoken Boys

Track: Lost Souls From: Boyhood (album) Label: Self released Out: Now

This Tel Aviv, Israel based act course a Z Tapes act sense of isolated jangle gaze, with a more deliberate, dulcet post-punk, whilst imbuing everything with omnipotent sparkling, surf rock jangled riffs.

Surf Party, USA

Track: Sand 2 From: Rocks !!! (album) Label: Self released Out: Now

Los Angeles based, Surf Party, USA, marry the Californian surf rock vibe of the 60s, to a lo-fi sensibility and dulcet dulcet that hints at the Big Thief vibe. This project of Ben Weinman & Nate Hollander certainly brings a sense of difference to both the surf and lo-fi genre’s.

The Family Knife

Track: Daydreaming From: Latent Sea (album) Label: Self released Out: Now

The bands promo blurb states “the four songwriters have drawn comparisons with everyone from Deerhunter and Kurt Vile, to The Jesus and Mary Chain to Sixties Pop”…I would go along with this, but might add that is all wrapped up in that wonderful melodic fuzz feel, that the most beautifully simple acts excel at.

Alley Cat House

Track: Dolphin Song From: Dolphin Single (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

Washed out 70s pop rock melodies, juxtaposed against the lazy melodic intent of the Super 8 vibe and 60s psyhe-pop sensibilities. This Washington DC trio could accompany any moment of snatched, lazy sunshine

Chris Fowler

Track: Head in the Pillow From: Head in the Pillow (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

Solihull based Chris Fowler fuses a more melodic, Billy Bragg indie-folk sensibility to the sort of lucid, laid back, lo-fi,  Jangle-pop of the Cleaners from Venus / Martin Newell vibe.

Landing Lights

Track: Girl I Don’t Know From: Girl I Don’t Know (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

Somewhere between classic rock, Americana, pop rock and jangle-pop. This Thailand based foursome of English, Dutch, Spanish and Australian ex-pats, takes the best of all the aforementioned genre and make something almost ‘power-pop invigorating’.

English Budgies

Track: Missy From: Missy (single) Label: Catfish Records Out: Now

Great mix of a sort of 80s new wave romanticism/emotionality and bounding jangled riffs, makes this Provo, Utah based duo of Jen and Joe Vickrey, stand out from much of the genre as both beguiling and original.

D’Arcy

Track: Moon From: Moon (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

With thge strange dreamy sense of spectral cool that acts such as Nico and The Mekons conveyed in abundance, this New Yorker is the best of the current gaze laden dream-pop acts around.
