A new track from Superfood , where have you been…? it had been three long years since we got our last serving of Superfood
After announcing their signing to Dirty Hit via Superfood have returned with new single ‘Dirty Dutch’.

For Superfood the long layoff between records seems to have been an eye-opening time, allowing them space to experiment and craft what is no doubt an intriguing progression in their sound. The slacker vibes are still evident, but on their first taster of album two, Don Ganderton and Ryan Malcolm serve up an unexpectedly synth-heavy and playful electro-banger.

Wolf Alice have shared their beguiling visual accompaniment to the track “Giant Peach”, and it’s got everything: bar brawling, lute solos, and the Dad from My Parents Are Aliens. Tony Gardner takes the role of a douchebag manager, who winds up hitting the bottle pretty hard (kind of). Ewen Macintosh (Keith from The Office) also makes an appearance.

Wolf Alice‘s lead vocalist Ellie Rowsell explains the surreal concept: “Here we are trying out our questionable acting skills once again. It’s almost a sequel to our video “Fluffy” and a look in to the future of Wolf Alice – featuring lots of leather, hip thrusting, murder and a very naughty manager. Special thank you to Tony Gardner for being a hero.”My Love Is Cool” will be out via Dirty Hit Records on 22nd  June. Check out the “Giant Peach”

Over three EPs, Marika Hackmans unique songwriting vision has evolved from folky beginnings to more psychedelic territory. Offering a charismatic presence, the soft-voiced artist is slowly stamping her mark on the UK alternative music scene.

In an empty Barbican hall, save for a dancing couple, she treated us to an eerie rendition of “Drown”, the first single from her upcoming debut album.
