The singer behind Norwegian epic-pop group Blackroom has launched his own project under the name of Subshine. It plays on the clubby 80s and 90s UK sound but still manages to hit a current vibe. Check out here.

New Music: Truls

Truls is another example of the recent wave of great new Norwegian indie pop. Check out here.

New Music: To Be Frank

There’s something so powerful with stripped down tracks like this. I love the voice; it’s so full of character. I think To Be Frank could be my new favourite male newcomer. Check out here.

New Music: Emily Kay

Artist of the week. That jazzy voice is going to take this lady far; such a cute and wonderful sound. Brought a huge smile on my face when I heard this. Check out here.

New Music: Hermitude

An Australian duo who are very good at making some euphoric electro/hip hop. And of course, their name rhymes with my name. Cool. Check out here.

New Music: Heymoonshaker

This is worth posting just because it’s so interesting and enjoyable. They’re a British duo that mix blues with beatboxing. It sounds like such a perfect match, I wonder why it’s not been done this well before! I’ll tell you this – their  EP ‘Shakerism’ (out March 18th is immense). Check out here.

New Music: Whinnie Williams

This is all sorts of wonderful; it’s really put a massive smile on my face. And considering I have no idea who she is, or what she looks like, I’m just so fascinated with this girl. The sound is pretty special too – there’s a London feel around the voice but the music is so kitsch and camp. Check out here.

New Music: The Away Days

Turkish garage rock with a playful edge. Bet you didn’t expect to read that sentence today, did you? The track’s free to download, which is nice. Check out here.

New Music: Standish/Carlyon

Australian ‘dub pop’. I can’t really explain it any other way, it’s a bit weird to listen to at first but it’s pretty cool. Check out here.
