Arabnormal release explosive new single ‘Bubble’
After 3 albums Antwerp’s noisiest outfit The Hickey Underworld evaporated. They never announced a break up, they just ceased to be… but the genie’s back out of the bottle. Well sorta… Frontman and main songwriter Younes Faltakh is the sole survivor and teamed up with ex Das Pop member Niek Meul. The pair set up camp in Niek’s studio in Oslo and recorded 10 eccentric, mysterious and groovy tracks. Guitars do a lapdance wrapping their tormented strings around a worked-up rhythm section while Younes’ hoarse growl sounds as familiar as it does threatening.

People Years Share Single “False Start” in Advance of April Release
“Echoing with the rattle and thump of bands like Pavement, Luna, and LCD Soundsystem, the work of Birmingham-based rock outfit People Years bristles with a wild confidence and posses the ability to easily dissolve the borders between the band’s collective influences. Built around the combined creativities of singer-guitarist Chris Rowell (Warm In the Wake, Sea Fix, King Lear Jet), keyboardist Tony Oliver (Sea Fix), bassist Greg Slamen (Cosmonaut on Vacation, Heath Green & The Makeshifters, Through The Sparks) and drummer Wes McDonald (Terry Ohms, Vulture Whale, The Ohms), People Years is something of a Southern supergroup, bringing together musicians who share a specific affection for dismantling familiar sounds.” – Beats Per Minute

LOLA YOUNG UNVEILS OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “PICK ME UP”
In her new video, 19-year-old South London artist Lola Young performs “Pick Me Up,” alone in her bedroom.

Elrichman (Ducks Unlimited, Weaves, Alvvays) – Shares New Single
Emerging from the same scene as Kiwi Jr, Ducks Unlimited, and Ellis, ‘I Mostly Consume’ is a real standout from the album bringing with it an 80s jangle-pop feel, echoing the sounds of Prefab Sprout, Orange Juice and Sarah Records-signed acts such as The Field Mice. Cut alongside cascading string sections, the track dips and dives through an array of tempos whilst Paul lyrically tackles the album’s core concern: the notion that we only exist on this planet for the purpose of consuming.
I Break Horses Share New Track “Neon Lights”
Of the track Maria Lindén says: “An anthem for all of us who have ever felt like we didn’t fit in. It is trying to give a glimpse of hope to all outsiders who feel like they can’t find their way and to show the world that being a ‘misfit’ is a beautiful thing, not something to be pushed aside.”

The new single is the latest to be taken from Hardware’s Engel album – out on April 3 – and following the 2016-released debut LP, Mutate, Repeat, Infinity and a stint living in Germany. Engel arrives part-inspired by Wim Wenders’ marvelously bleak Berlin-set 1987 fantasy film, ‘Wings of Desire’. Sonically inspired by the velvet tones of the film and its industrial landscape, Hardware locks into misty electronic textures, art-pop and vaporwave; a sound running in the same vein as that of Lust For Youth, The Soft Moon, and The KVB.
