@elbowofficial, the beloved purveyors of emotionally charged Brit-rock, emerge from their introspective haze with 'Audio Vertigo'. This album marks a thrilling sonic departure for the band. It's a calculated shift away from the serene soundscapes of 2021's 'Flying Dream 1', and it succeeds with bold ambition.
In true Elbow fashion, frontman Guy Garvey's lyrics maintain their hallmark mix of the philosophical and the poignantly personal. Yet, the musical backdrop against which they unfold is where 'Audio Vertigo' truly shines. The band has traded whispered melodies for a sonic onslaught born out of "gnarly, seedy grooves," as Garvey has described them.

@raave_tapes have announced their forthcoming debut LP, set for release on the 24th of May. The announcement coincides with the release of the album's third single ‘I Just Wanna Be Alone’; a stunning alt-pop track that demonstrates the full range of the bands ever-changing sonic palette.
Following the huge hype from the album’s second single ‘k hi’ released earlier this year, ‘I Just Wanna Be Alone’ shows a completely different side to Raave Tapes - opting for a little more subtlety in its production, letting Lindsay’s vocals really shine through. The track centres around the idea of new-found individualism, finding solitary happiness that doesn’t always rely on a connection to others.

@xambassadors - brothers Sam Nelson Harris and Casey Harris along with Adam Levin - unveil another taste of their new music today with 'Your Town'. Written and produced by the band, 'Your Town' introduces us to Sam and Casey’s childhood music teacher, Todd Peterson, who played a vital role in the band’s origin before passing away tragically in 2021.
Of the track, Sam candidly shared, "This song is dedicated to my teacher, mentor, and friend Todd Peterson who passed away in 2021. I owe so much of who I am to Todd. He was the first person to ever get me up on a stage to sing in front of a crowd of people. I was 9 years old, a microphone clutched in my trembling hands, singing “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” (a song meant for someone well beyond my years and experience to sing) and the whole time he was there, side-stage, giving me his signature I-told-you-so look. He knew I could do it before I could. He taught me how to carry myself with confidence, encouraged me to be big when I felt small, pushed me to be vulnerable when I was a steel-trap of adolescent inscrutability. And my story is not unique: Todd had a similarly profound impact on so many of us and was a pillar of the Ithaca community."
