Watch: Ghost//Signals Drop "I Beat My Demons Via Decision" Music Video

Newcastle-based indie/dark pop band Ghost//Signals have dropped the video for their latest single " I Beat My Demons Via Decision".

The song is part of our current playlist and isa taken from their album 'Lives Defined by Winter Skies', released in February this year via Swiss Dark Nights. Buy it here.

The band's goth inflected live performances have won them many plaudits blending classic Smiths riffs and charming melodic interludes with fiendishly twisted but sharp-witted lyrics and has led to support slots with the likes of My Vitriol, Chameleons Vox, ACTORS, Avalanche Party & Press Club; but it is their recorded output that conjures a wealth of influences from The Cure to The Futureheads.

From the band: “The song is essentially an account of having your own issues/mental health problems, but other people assuming themselves that they have the quick fix answers – or that you’re fully ‘healed’ because it suits their narrative/motivations. Much like in boxing/competitive fighting, you can win via a judge decision, but the other fighter might still be completely standing upright, and will come for you another day.”

Watch: L'objectif Unveil New Single/Video "Feeling Down"

Leeds indie rock band L'objectif have unveiled their new single "Feeling Down" and its accompanying video.

The song is out today (May 3) and is taken from their forthcoming EP 'We Aren’t Getting Out but Tonight We Might', set to arrive on July 29 through Chess Club Records. Pre-order it here.

L'Objectif are schoolmates Saul Kane (vocals, guitar) and Louis Bullock (drums) - who first formed a band together at the age of 12 - Ezra Glennon (bass) and Dan Richardson (guitar). With each member picking up instruments as children, the young friends - none of whom are over the age of 18 - have a shared love of genres and musicians that belies their tender age: jazz funk, hip-hop, punk, post-punk, and almost everything in between. Also inspired by painters Basquiat and Francis Bacon, L’Objectif seek excitement in the intellectually stimulating and subjective; finding thrill in the confusion.

Frontman Saul Kane says: “'Feeling Down' reflects the personal side to a relationship. Regrets, inner thoughts and self depreciation. It’s kind of a retelling of events through quite a melancholy lens.”

Watch: DESIRE Air New Single/Video "Black Latex"

Palm Springs-via-Montreal electronic/synthpop duo Desire (aka Megan Louise and Johnny Jewel) have aired the video for their new single "Black Latex".

The song is taken from their brand new album 'Escape', out today, May 3 via Italians Do It Better. Grab it here.

"Black Latex" opens the new album in a hypnotic vocoder trance. It's like a machine trying to catch its breath. Driven by a single note, the menacing tone sets the stage for the melodrama that unfolds throughout the record. The brazen minimalism recalls Johnny Jewel's signature compositions "Tick Of The Clock" & "Digital Versicolor" from the neon-noir films of Nic Refn. Megan Louise pivots from English to French in a spoken monologue fit for the silver screen. Our heroine turns villain, carrying the torch of vaudeville camp into this century proclaiming "It's A Horror Show...Don't You Know?" Lights, Camera, Action!

Watch: POP ETC Reveal Music Video For "Slips Away"

Brooklyn, NY-based indie pop band POP ETC have revealed the video for their recent single "Slips Away (Feat. Jason Schwartzman)".

The song is part of our current playlist and is the first taste from their upcoming new album 'Over the Moment' (TBA). Grab it here.

"We all try to hold on to the past. No matter how futile or ridiculous it may seem," says frontman Chris Chu about the new song. "Why do we have so much trouble accepting that everything comes to an end? I know I’m still fighting it. Still trying to be a kid. Still trying to hold on to the joy and carefreeness of that time."

Chu adds: "There’s an energy and life to the past that we keep grasping at, and yet it always slips away. But it’s not just a sad story. There’s real liberation that comes with acceptance. A freedom and richness that we can tap into once we embrace that everything is fleeting. 'Slips Away' is about trying to get there.”

Watch: KEG Unleash New Single/Video "Kids"

Brighton indie punk 7-piece KEG have unleashed their new single "Kids" and its accompanying music video.

The song is taken from their forthcoming second EP 'Girders', set to be released on September 2 through Alcopop! Records. Grab your copy here.

'Kids' strides into the deep lineage of British art-punk songwriting that is both self-referencing and outward-facing - while being consistently innovative. Few singles manage to take aim at both the restaurant chain Itsu and the comedian Michael McIntyre, but KEG somehow pull it off. The video doubles down on that sense of fun with the band toying with a genuine joie de vivre rarely seen with new artists.

KEG words: "I've always had a great relationship with my mum, but there were occasional times where I remember her saying ‘I love you loads, I just don't like you very much at the moment’. What if your kids grew up the complete opposite of you? What if they like Michael Macintyre and will only eat health foods?".
