Mellow strings and sweet acoustic guitar pickings reverberate against Solberg's tender voice, as she creates a harmonic and sustained sonic journey, which leads into harbours of hope and SCOUT CAPTURES A NERVY, RESTLESS POP SHIMMER ON NEW SINGLE You might recognise Lea Emmery from their time leading indie-rock band Kid Wave a couple years back.

NBHAP STORY: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IDLES AND THEIR NEW It’s been a somewhat incredible year for IDLES, who first turned heads in 2017 with their ferocious debut Brutalism, receiving heavy airplay on BBC Radio 6.The band had spent years trying to find their sound and voice, scrapping around with the likes of Slaves finding a new approach to UK punk that dared to traverse into what could conceivably be called pop music. EXCLUSIVE: SWEDISH SAD POP DUO WY RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE Come Here is a fitting introduction to the world of Marriage which sees the band in their most gentle and authentic form yet. It’s a less posh affair, especially compared to its predecessor Softie but that makes the listening experience even more profound. The fact that she and Michel married following the release of their last album also had a crucial impact on the songs you will hear on A HISTORY OF THE TITLE SEQUENCE Have you ever asked yourself how a title sequence of a movie, documentary, series, etc. is made?

DAILY TUNE

‘_Thaw in the morning hours, warm hands in sleeping bags’_ explains the mood BLACK SEA DAHU capture perfectly. The Swiss six-piece turn their melodic multi-layered indie folk compositions into rich soundscapes. Written in a secluded cabin in Norway’s mountains, it is no wonder that their sound reflects the nature beautifully. The latest EP _No Fire in The Sand_ almost feels like a long hike through changing landscapes from rocky cliffs to colorful fields of flowers. The single _Thaw_ expresses the delicacy of early morning moments in the nature with calm acoustic instrumentation kept to a minimum. Somehow this gentle folk ballad is melancholic and euphoric at the same time.
