Geese // Au Pays Du Cocaine
2025’s prevailing indie success story has seen Geese evolve from a well-liked group of risers to one of the world’s talked-about bands. ‘Au Pays Du Cocaine’, lifted from recent album Getting Killed, has now received a music video of its own (and deservedly so).

Montell Fish // Ostentatious (ft. John Glacier)
Between his eponymous releases and his dj gummy bear alter-ego, Montell Fish has quietly become a huge player in the alternative R&B game. Add one of London’s most exciting talents John Glacier to the mix and ‘Ostentatious’ was always going to be a winner.

Fcukers // I Like It Like That
NYC duo Fcukers continue their ascent with the Kenny Beats-produced ‘I Like It Like That’. Between their upcoming support run with Tame Impala and their own Autumn headline tour of Europe, Fcukers are going to be infecting dancefloors near you very soon.

Beguiling Junior // A.I on Cocaine
Beguiling Junior – comprised of former Yak frontman Oli Burslem and the ever-dependable Okay Kaya – have shared their debut single via Rough Trade. As opening statements go, ‘A.I on cocaine’ is an eye-catcher: confident, menacing and endlessly replayable.

Westside Cowboy // Don’t Throw Rocks
Britainicana may not be the most aesthetically-pleasing portmanteau but it’s a vibrant UK scene in the making and who better to lead the charge than Manchester’s Westside Cowboy. New EP So Much Country ‘Till We Get There arrives in January.

Youniss // Gits Worse (ft. Petite Noir)
‘Gits Worse’ sounds like Young Fathers plying their trade in a dingy basement venue, which is incredibly high praise indeed. Antwerp’s Youniss and South African multi-instrumentalist Petite Noir make for a killer pairing.
