It was back in July last year that I last heard anything from Dunebug, the London-based project of Manchester-born songwriter Chi Limpiroj. Ask Dunebug No Questions And They’ll Tell You No Lies For more information on Mumble Tide visit. While it’s something of a musical departure this feels like a natural place for Mumble Tide, the youthful swagger of their music contrasting beautifully with the knowing cynicism of the lyrics, and taking Mumble Tide to somewhere that suggests Everything Ugly is a record not to be missed.Įverything Ugly is out December 3rd via Nothing Fancy. There’s a certain strut to the track as if Gina is striding confidently on a sunny day, even as she berates with the cutting line, “on paper I’m a damn fool”. It was a song the band almost gave up on, going through multiple incarnations before emerging as a poppy joyous number, even if it does contain what the band describe as, “a healthy dose of cynicism and confidence”. In contrast to the outward anger of the previous single Breakfast, On My Deathbed is a more inward glancing number, as Gina explains, “it’s one about reflecting on years of unrequited love- about the light that can shine out of a void”.

Fresh off the back of confirming UK dates with Liz Lawrence and Coach Party, Mumble Tide have this week detailed their next release, Everything Ugly, out in December via Nothing Fancy, as well as sharing the latest single from it, On My Deathbed There’s a Full Page (You Don’t Get To Read It). Mumble Tide, the Bristol-based couple-come-duo of Gina Leonard and Ryan Rogers, first came to my attention last year with the release of their well-received debut EP, Love Thing. I Recommend You Don’t Mumble Your Deathbed Declaration For more information on Kristine Leschper visit. Is Kristine Leschper branching out solo and thriving, or just experimenting with future projects in mind? Either way, it’s fascinating, and in its understated way rather thrilling – a welcome return for one of my favourite songwriters, who’s sounding just as good as ever. The song fades out on an arpeggiated, playful keyboard line and you’re left intrigued by just what this project is. The lyrics have a certain cryptic, poetic edge, whether reflecting on ageing, “friends getting older, you getting older, wearing it well”, or hinting at self-sabotage, “what’s the point? Building yourself a beautiful box with no entrance”. While Kristine’s vocal remains as instantly recognisable as ever, fans of Mothers will instantly spot a difference of tone, there’s a brightness, an optimistic Spring sibling, to their Autumnal haze. This week she has shared the brand new single, Something Like An Exit, the most song-led music she has released under her own name.Įntering on a processed drum-beat and waves of Casio-like chords, Something Like An Exit initially brings to mind early Beach House, showcasing a richness of sound that belies its minimal technological roots. Alongside making music with the band, Kristine is also an acclaimed artist working in sound, text, image, and performance. Best known until now for her work with Mothers, who released two of my all-time favourite albums in the form of 2016’s When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired and 2018’s Render Another Ugly Method. While I can provide almost no context on it, I was delighted to hear this week of new solo material from Kristine Leschper.
Kristine Leschper Makes An Entrance With An Exit For more information on Maria Taylor visit. It’s Coming For You is out now via Flower Moon Records. Maria Taylor might be a thirty-year veteran of the music industry, may have shared stages with Michael Stipe, Conor Oberst and Moby, yet somehow this feels as fresh, exciting and as entirely unmissable as anything she has ever released. The track marks something of a return to Maria’s indie-rock roots, digging into similar territory to Rilo Kiley or The Breeders as joyously blistering guitars sit alongside lightly distorted, reverberating vocals, and the steady pounding of a snare drum. It’s Coming For You is the latest track to come from a fruitful collaboration with fellow songwriter Brad Armstrong, the pair playing all the instruments on the track between them. That song, It’s Coming For You, is the first track from a new solo EP, the follow up to Maria’s 2019 self-titled album. All that changed recently, with her school being back in session, as Maria notes, “ I already have one song written, recorded, mixed and mastered“.
The record was written over the last year and a half, in between periods of homeschooling and generally struggling to find time to focus. Hailing from Los Angeles, Maria Taylor is a musician probably best known for her work as one half of the duo, Azure Ray, who recently released their first album in ten years, Remedy.
