Talking about the single, KTG elaborates, “Strawberries is just a really fun track that makes you want to go out and take on the town!

Bubbatrees showcase a brooding, synth-heavy sound on the brooding new single Alchemy!
Glaswegian quartet Bubbatrees have released their brooding new single Alchemy. Dark, tantalising synths set the tone before pulsating drum beats and reverb-heavy guitar twangs takeover, creating a sound that is both celestial and sonically powerful. Frontman Andrew Gibb’s deep, rich vocal resonates effortlessly over the eerie soundscapes, reminiscent of the likes of The Horrors andThese New Puritans. Talking about Alchemy, Gibb elaborates “‘Alchemy' by definition is the transformation of a base metal into gold, the song takes this idea and builds upon it metaphorically. It’s about how we are experiencing an old way of life transforming into a new one and how the more natural, less technological age is transgressing into an ever evolving digital age." Alchemy is out now and available to stream and embed on Spotify and via the Soundcloud link below.
Nick Wilson shares evocative new single Carry Your Light!
Ambient-electronic artist Nick Wilson prepares to immerse listeners with his celestial collection of alt-pop vignettes. His latest EP A Face I’ve Never Seen Before is out now via Never Fade Records. To celebrate, Wilson has shared the powerful new single Carry Your Light; an evocative ballad laden with emotion, creating a calming blend of soul-tinged pop that is bound to pull at the heartstrings. Talking about the EP, Wilson elaborates, “it’s a culmination of writing non-stop and figuring out exactly what type of music I wanted to make. I wrote all four tracks with Nick Atkinson and Edd Holloway (Lewis Capaldi,Gabrielle Aplin) over two years. We never had the intention of releasing this as a body of work, but once we had all the songs together they just made sense. They all have a central theme - human connection, and the feelings that develop between relationships, but each song explores a different emotion.”
