Bristol music producer obylx makes the world a little brighter with his latest song

Sometimes you hit perfection on the second try. For obylx with his upcoming release of the album, Twice via Guise Records, this is the case. Twice is set for release on Friday 13 December, just in time to make your holiday playlist. Ahead of the album, ‘With You’ has been premiered via BBC Radio 6’s Lauren Laverne’s show.

The Bristol-based producer appears to dabble in a variety of different genres with his previously released ‘Flicker’ entering into the neoclassical future bass territory. This unique style caught the attention of Bass Music who opted for an exclusive interview. In it, obylx reveals how his musical journey began with the Beatles, Stevie Wonder & Bowie before moving on to the production styles of Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and Gorillaz. You can read the full interview here.

“I’ve learnt is how to express myself through writing. When I used to feel sad or worried about something, I would let it consume me. Like everyone else, I still get all of that of course but I feel I can write about it. It’s like I can turn it into a physical thing, which I can go back to and understand how I was feeling at that point. It doesn’t solve any of the problems but it does help me deal with it… it’s like a form of therapy. It’s taught me to embrace any emotions and celebrate it as part of being human.”

Country-pop singer Aoife Carton has released a new song ‘Capsule’

Having just graduated from the British and Irish Modern Music Institute (BIMM) with a degree in songwriting, Dubliner Aoife has spent the summer honing her craft.

Capsule, the title track off her upcoming EP, is an expression of both anger and strength which highlights some of the issues that victims of sexual violence are forced to face in today’s society.

Aoife says that she wrote the song with the intention of highlighting how sexual violence stays with the victim and is near-impossible to bury. She also expresses anger for the way she thinks victims can be portrayed when they speak publicly about what they’ve been through.

Taking influence from a range of genres, Aoife Carton has developed her sound since she started writing songs at the age of fifteen. A writer before a songwriter, lyrics are at the heart of her music with themes ranging from love to depression too – in true country style – heartbreak. She cites country-era Taylor Swift and Una Healy’s latest sound as major influences.

Aoife took a big step towards her music career in 2017 when she booked a solo flight to Nashville, Tennessee on her 21st birthday, determined to play at the famous Open Mic Night at the Bluebird Cafe – which she did. The following summer she returned to the States, this time to New York, where she played at the Rockwood Music Hall, opened for Mick Flannery at a private gig in New Jersey and gigged open mic nights every chance she got.

Recently, Aoife performed the late Mic Cristopher’s song Heyday on The Ray D’Arcy Show on RTÉ One television with a range of well-known Irish artists, for Aidlink for Turkana. “The fact that we were singing Mic’s songs made it really special,” says Aoife, as Mic was her second cousin and a major inspiration in her decision to become a musician.

UK indie-rockers Anteros announce 2019 album, share new single and mesmerizing music video, “Fool Moon”

London-based rockers, Anteros, share their new single and accompanying music video, “Fool Moon,” in an exclusive premiere with Billboard, who says the new project “lets the band make a broader statement than it has previously.” Filmed in the Moroccan desert, this is the third in a trio of visuals the band has recently released. Prior to this, the band released the “Ordinary Girl” single and video, as well as “Call Your Mother,” which received praise from Paper Magazine for its “gleaming pop melodies, raw vocals, and roaring guitars.” The latest track, “Fool Moon”, is taken from the group’s highly anticipated upcoming album, When We land.

Anteros are a band who refuse to be typecast. While standing firmly outside of any box, they’ve proven their ability to nail any genre or idea they put their mind to, having spent their formative years experimenting with dreamy indie pop, gritty electronic rock and shimmering disco. When We Land is where it all comes together; in one glossy, masterful package, the four-piece have created a unique sound that is both wholly refreshing and reminiscent of the greats who came before them.

Recorded at The Distillery with Mercury Prize-winning producer Charlie Andrew (Alt-J, Marika Hackman, Bloc Party), When We Land is Anteros’ first full-length release following a string of critically acclaimed EPs and singles, as well as a number of sold out headline shows and major support slots (Two Door Cinema Club, White Lies, Blaenavon.) They’ve been championed by BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac, Huw Stephens and Jack Saunders to name a few, and amassed over 4 million Spotify streams and counting. It’s with their debut album, however, that Anteros fully introduce themselves to the world as a force to be reckoned with.

BisonBison embrace change with new single ‘Expanding’

Organic electronic quintet BisonBison have wowed listeners with another single ‘Expanding.’ This follows on from their recently released track ‘Recover’.

The Toronto-based band are fairly new on the scene but are already garnering attention with their unique sound – an idiosyncratic fusion of folk elements with downtempo electronica. Dani Ramez, Chad Skinner, Brad Weber, Sinéad Bermingham, and Sophia Alexandra are the musicians behind the magical melting pot of sounds, creating a listening experience that is all at once meditative, melancholic and uplifting.

Speaking of the track they note: “The song ‘Expanding’ is about embracing change with grace even when that might mean losing someone you hold dear. It is about witnessing, holding, and supporting one another in those moments of realization. The moon is a symbol which illuminates the cycles of growth and expansion in our inner lives as well as our shared ones.”

Their upcoming album Hover will be available on February 7, 2020 via Zozaya Record
