Australian pop singer-songwriter Nikkita Kalea - Kita - Alexander channels more of her known her 'short and evocative lines demonstrating Taylor Swift-level lyrical prowess', with latest offering '7 Minutes In Heaven'.
Although the Brisbane songstress only actually gives us three and a half minutes of 'heaven', it's nevertheless a sweet as honey and soft as silk experience.
Floating around you like a warm and sensual embrace, Kita describes the song as "like a heartfelt letter from my best friend, my inner voice, urging me to loosen up and have fun. It’s a personal pep talk ..read more

We've always had a special warm spot at Little Indie for Byron Bay's Seaside. From 2018's 'Golden Girl' to the following year's 'Habits', the quartet always seem to inject just the right amount of shimmer and sass into the spin on all their work.
Fast forward to 2023, and newly released single 'Housewife', produced by Tony Beliveau (The Crash Kings), follows on from earlier cut ‘We’re On Fire’. Recorded at Rockinghorse Studios, the song precedes a new EP, and indicates a bold new approach for the band.
Sharp and propulsive, 'Housewife' provides both ple ..read more

Wigan's finest The Lathums (a former Little Indie Band To Watch ) pitched up again last night (June 10) on BBC2's Later... with Jools Holland.
Following up on their 2020 debut on the show, the quartet, fronted by Alex Moore, performed two songs: 'Say My Name' and 'Struggle'.
The former number comes from their second album, 'From Nothing To A Little Bit More', released in March, while 'Struggle' was another single cut back at the start of the year.
Check out both here.

Ahead of their hometown headline show at The Brudenell tomorrow (September 3), Leeds sextet Talkboy share new single, the intriguingly titled 'Why Don’t You Love Me Lana Del Rey'.
“I don’t think it’s really worth saying exactly what the song is about as I think this one in particular gives a very clear overall mood," says co-vocalist and guitarist Tim Malkin of the woozy, rose-tinted ode to unrequited feelings and what could have been.
"I also don’t really know what it’s about," he adds. "I was getting really bored of writing super specific songs about st ..read more

Two years ago when we first happened upon the debut single of Glasgow-based post-punks Book Klub, 'Care', we remarked how "at first [it] feels like a cross between The Smiths and Chapel Club, but then in the last 50 seconds, gives over to something - or rather, someone - else: early TOY, particularly in the vocal style of guitarist and frontman Reece Robertson - which is part Tom Dougall, filled out with a Lewis Bowman depth!"
Lauded as a "damn fine single" (and still is!), we were naturally curious about their latest single 'Siren Song', which dropped last week on Disob ..read more

Taking over Colours venue in London's Hoxton this coming September 11, CloseUp Festival returns this year with a renewed vibrancy and energy to lay out a day of ear-grabbing acts.
After last year's enforced lay-off (due to you-know-what), CloseUp are sowing the green seeds literally, with plans for the planting of one tree for every CloseUp Festival ticket sold, and the company ethos of equality throughout performing artists, this year will embody CloseUp in its entirety.
CloseUp Festival’s main aim is to bring the most infamous emerging indie and electronic artists together, and with ..read more

Last year's debut album, ‘How Do You Cope While Grieving For The Living’, with it’s storyboard narrative, took many by surprise (and certainly became one of my favourite albums of 2020), and showed Bristol-based Milo Gore as a true songwriter.
Well... the story’s not finished. With a new EP, ‘As You Hear Me Now You Listen To My Past', out on May 28, its lead single ‘Midnight Club’ is one of the record's standouts, with its 'Live fast, die young', and/or 'Grow up' mindset whilst delivering laid back guitars against Gore's own internalised demo ..read more

Desperate Characters

8/10
Words: Richard Cobb
Highlands-born, Leeds-based singer-songwriter Josephine Sillars returns with 'Desperate Characters', her first batch of new songs since 2019’s standalone single ‘Skeleton’ which was a former BBC Radio Scotland track of the week.
The EP is something of a time capsule from the last year in the UK with audio from Skype calls running through the heart of the six songs. Describing her music as protest pop, the conversations which Sillars carried out are a candid exploration of how Bre ..read more
