Viagra Boys // Watching You
Swedish punks Viagra Boys stole the show in 2025 and they’ve kicked off the new year with the release of viagr aboys (Japanese Deluxe Edition). ‘Watching You’ slithers and slides with an air of Plastic Beach-era Gorillaz.
Feng // Cali Crazy
Fusing sunny indie-pop hooks with shades of Cloud Rap; Feng’s star is rapidly rising. The Croydon native’s new cut ‘Cali Crazy’ invokes Only Real‘s decade-old debut.
Dry Cleaning // Joy
Dry Cleaning have dropped their third album, Secret Love, via 4AD. Album closer ‘Joy’ epitomises the band’s appeal as detached witticisms are adorned with fleeting moments of fragile melody. Another solid collection from Dry Cleaning.
Crack Cloud // Safe Room
The 12 months between November 2024 and November 2025 saw Crack Cloud’s Zach Choy recording double album Peace and Purpose using only the rawest DIY principles and materials. Our first taster ‘Safe Room’ gives us every reason to be excited for what’s to come.
Shinichi Atobe // Disappear
Based in Saitama, Japan, Shinichi Atobe’s electonic compositions has cultivated a cult-like global fanbase: if you know, you know. ‘Disappear’ features on the second ever drop from Atobe’s new Plastic & Sounds label.
Another Country $$$$ // MOTH
Scratch beyond Another Country $$$$’s imposing exterior and the rewards are infinite. The Manchester-based project have released their debut EP – also called MOTH – and will be bringing it to Brixton Windmill on 19th February.
