Meet South Arcade, the Oxford quartet blending Y2K genres into one riotous sound

There is no denying that the Y2K aesthetic is well and truly back. Low-rise jeans have made their resurgence, while Timbaland– and Darkchild-inspired production is slowly making its way back to pop (thanks Tate McRae!). But the 2000s were broader than just Britney, and few bands are highlighting that multifaceted aspect of the Y2K era quite like South Arcade. Formed by singer Harmony Cavelle and guitarist Harry Winks, who were later joined by drummer Cody Jones and bassist Ollie Green, […]

Melin Melyn: the Welsh psych band addressing harsh realities with colourful absurdity

The sun rises over the pastoral Melin village. Six workers ascend a hill, towards the magical mill where the music that the villagers so dearly love gets made. Edvard Grieg’s ‘Morning Mood’ is playing, and all is well in the world. But when the millers arrive, disaster strikes. “A landlord from a nearby city wants to knock down the mill and build a car park,” Melin Melyn frontman and founder Gruff Glyn tells NME. “But by doing that, it would […]

Jacob Alon is making fantastical, vulnerable folk music

On a quiet day in suburban Fife, exploring the woodland next to their hometown by the seaside, Jacob Alon once found magic in a dead bird. They were young, and this was a mystical but peculiar beauty they hadn’t found around the estates by their house. They kept finding the same breadcrumbs of beauty in broken shadows on the beaches, odd shells, fallen branches and anything remotely strange in this boring part of Scotland.

The Orchestra (For Now) capture the city’s fast-paced neuroticism with maximalist ‘London prog’

Lately, it seems London’s experimental rock scene is locked in a love affair with maximalism. Black Country, New Road have pivoted from the acerbic post-punk of their first album to the sprawling pastoralism of Joanna Newsom or Arcade Fire; Caroline make post-rock as an eight piece with its own complete string section. With their debut EP ‘Plan 75’, The Orchestra (For Now) have distilled this sound into its most essential form: sonically manifesting the neuroses that could only develop from […]

Beckah Amani – ‘This Is How I Remember It.’ review: a bold, expressive debut

For singer-songwriter Beckah Amani, music is a means for finding a home anywhere. Born in Tanzania to Burundian parents, then moving to Australia as a child, she made sense of the worlds moving in and around her through songwriting, influenced by everything from her family’s heritage to the Western pop and indie artists she had grown to love.

Gigi Perez: The chart-topping ‘Sailor Song’ star who’s building her own community

Gigi Perez says her incredible breakout success is hitting her “in waves”. Earlier last month, the 24-year-old topped the UK singles chart with ‘Sailor Song’, a lusty folk ballad that opens with a truly captivating couplet: “I saw her in the rightest way / Looking like Anne Hathaway.” Alongside Billie Eilish’s ‘Lunch’ and Chappell Roan’s ‘Good Luck, Babe!’, it adds to a banner year for queer female representation: ‘Sailor Song’ has also scaled the charts in Australia, Singapore and Perez’s […]

Uche Yara – ‘Honey’ review: a woozy, yearning EP sizzling with ideas

One year after her debut single ‘Www She Hot’, Uche Yara remains difficult to pin down. The Austrian multi-instrumentalist’s early tracks have darted between indie, R&B and psych rock, led by a similarly dextrous vocal: spanning airy falsettos on ‘Www She Hot’, pained groans on ‘homesick’ and playful vocalisations on ‘ZUU (Zoo)’. Following her fun, saturated EP ‘Golden Days, ‘Honey’ represents another left-turn: a more restrained, singer-songwriter-facing collection. While it feels insubstantial as an EP, it is not short on […]

Babymorocco is pop’s new provocateur

Sexy. Crunchy. Electro. Big and muscly. This about sums up the next act of pop’s beefy enfant terrible, Babymorocco. The Bournemouth-born himbo has made quite a splash in the electronic avant-garde this past year, enticing the likes of Jockstrap, The Dare and more into his sordid world of oil-smothered thirst traps and cheeky beats. Now, he promises even more debauchery on debut album ‘Amour’, giving us a peek behind the well-glossed veneer of a star on the rise. The singer […]

The 20 best debut albums of 2024

“Get the Brits out!” chant Belfast rap trio Kneecap. “Jungle is back!” declares Nia Archives. “I want to be me.” Lola Young pleads, a slight crack in her voice. “Is that not allowed?” These are just some of the many resounding statements made by new artists in 2024 – a year where breaking out has become increasingly difficult. You have cost-of-living crises that stifle time, energy and creativity, music venues dwindling by the day, and an industry which expects so […]
