Does this contentious new year find you in need of a new theme song. Fake Shark has you covered. Their new single Tired Of You (featuring Fionn) couldn’t drop at a better time. Nineties pop with an art pop punk spirit, the new single is pure entertainment. The lucid poetry explodes into fits of emphatic rock out of every brewing verse. The disenchanted duet retains a sense of charm despite their scorned attitude. It’s simply cool. Get into it.

Beauts caught our attention with their new single Heaviness. Clever melodic shifts within the main progression land unfamiliar while the vocal finds the nostalgic contrast like a reminiscent old friend. In that way it recalls projects like The Nationals and that classic indie rock spirit. It’s new vintage, but it feels good. There’s nothing derivative about this vibe, it’s warmly welcomed. That lands heavy.

Gabba Delic sees things differently on her recent City Disco Girl. The imaginative recording artist had her own interpretation of what these glittery vibes inspire. It’s more psychedelic PJ Harvey than Abba, but there’s a semblance of seventies pop in her spirit. It sneaks in delicately and suggests how this might translate with a classic disco backbeat to push it forward. As is its a trippy indie dreamscape. We like that.

You’re not the only one with a Reebok Fantasy. The new single from Valley Onda isn’t afraid to take on real life and find its poetic moody musical essence. The companion video suggests the high art of modern fashion gets overlooked by consumerism. It reflects the songs modern cool spirit. It’s delicately abstract and refreshingly approachable. Stylistically it finds the middle ground between indie pop and art rock, with an 80s alternative angle that lands authentic.

We adore the rare nostalgia heard on K.O!!! The new single from Jakob Boon recalls late nineties radio pop elegantly. Sonically it’s relentlessly intriguing while the lyrics consistent theme stays within the narrative. The drums drag slightly in the vein of classic unquantized beats. Altogether it’s a reflect of Boon’s treasured swagger. His brand of slacker groovy has the ability to catch on.
