The High Dials • Primitive Feelings
A bit of a throwback to the sound of late ‘80s Manchester and subsequent British psychedelic pop, presented with a pulsating dance beat and dreamy multilayered vocals.
Wild Pink • Yolk In The Fur
Alternative rock with a tinge of Americana, the perfect thing to eat up miles and miles of road trip.
Wine Lips • TV Dinner
