New releases – Glows, Zuzu, S Raekwon, Reb Fountain
Glows – Tropic
Glows is the audio visual project of GG Skips and Felix Bayley Higgins; their new single Tropic features Asha Lorenz from Sorry.
It feels like it tells several stories within its short framework, beginning with a darkened 80s’ synth beat, and running through an industrial soundscape that lifts and drops as it progresses.
Captivating and cinematic, watch the video below.

Zuzu – My Old Life
Making a name for herself on numerous ‘ones to watch’ lists, Zuzu manages to mix pure indie pop with a tinge of country in new single My Old Life. It’s an accomplished track that bodes well for her recently announced debut album Queensway Tunnel, due for release on 12th November.
A tour is scheduled for December – this may be a good time to catch Zuzu before she inevitably moves up to much bigger venues.

S Raekwon – Darling
NYC singer-songwriter S Raekwon shares Darling from his upcoming debut album Where I’m At Now, out on 8th October. A simply soulful track, it feels both reflective and positive; music to relax and drift away to as the summer closes in.
Check out the video below and keep an ear out for what comes next.

Reb Fountain – Lacuna
Another strong offering from New Zealand folk artist Reb Fountain, Lacuna is skilfully executed and pleasantly haunting. Her vocal is warm and wide ranging, the music by no means taking a back seat.
Lacuna is taken from new album Iris, due out on 1st October – one to keep on your radar.
