BOUND | LANDED ON MARS

Our favourite track of the week comes from Aussie band Atlas Bound, who we previously featured on NOISE BOX last year. The group, who effortlessly find ways of blending the lines between electronica, soul and pop, have outdone themselves with their latest track. Landed On Mars starts out as a gorgeously produced ethereal song before it slowly evolves into a melancholic, dance floor-ready anthem that we have a feeling will be inescapable in the East London club scene for the next few months.

DBFC | STAYING HOME

Time for a little dose of pop now, courtesy of Paris-based group DBFC. It’s a glorious little synth-pop effort that pulls inspiration from the likes of LCD soundsystem and Cool producer Le Youth, all while throwing in a dreamy, tribal-esque vibe that gives it a serious run at Song of the Summer status.

STONEFIELD | GOLDEN DREAM

Next up we have a riff-heavy track from Aussie foursome Stonefield, which is set to appear on their forthcoming second album. It’s a alternative classic rock track with a heavy summery, 70s edge that helps elevates it to that next level.

COURTNEY LOVE | MISS NARCISSIST

She may not be to everybody’s tastes, but Courtney Love has attracted a dedicated following throughout her surprisingly long career. This week she unveiled her latest effort Miss Narcissist without warning whilst on tour with Lana Del Rey. It’s a raucous track that feels a little more low-key than her other recent efforts, all the while still retaining her trademark, “fuck the world and everyone in it” bitterness.

BRAIDS | TASTE

There’s nothing lacking originality more than the whole “it’s not me, it’s you’ schtick. It’s been done to death in songs – hell, even Lily Allen based an entire album around the saying. That’s why it’s so wonderful that Braids have managed to take such a generic term and twist it into something original, heartbreaking and – intriguingly – sexually-charged. It’s such a brutally honest, true-to-life take on a break up, which let’s face it, are far more complicated than pop likes to suggest.
