Juliet Lloyd
Reno Cure United States Since releasing her latest album Carnival, her first proper record for ten years, Juliet Lloyd has been back in the studio to create Reno Cure. A recent divorcee with the emotions and dramas of this life-change framing her songwriting muse, Reno Cure is another dose of liberation. In the 1950s you could live in Nevada for just six weeks and then legally claim a no-fault divorce. It was the simplest and cheapest option for most people, who wanted freedom without the legal comeuppance. Currently touring the UK, enjoying our beautiful sunny weather, the indigenous and the integral folk of Great Britain are enjoying the Americana-tinged blues rock feels of Juliet Lloyd in return. It enters on a dainty nylon string melody that bobbles in tuneful jumps of tone. Juliet starts to sing; her captivating voice hangs like gentle sheets on the gradually bumping up rhythm. She swears, letting us know she’s only human and then we, intrigued, continue to listen. Her song rumbles on and up, powerful sensations keep the torque as the machinery of her heart carries the load forward with grace and poise. A few weeks in Reno and the full house is all yours. Or is it? Perhaps you’ve lost it all in a dumb bet. Let’s just listen to Juliet. Find out more on the Juliet Lloyd website You can follow Juliet Lloyd on Instagram And Facebook

Tombstones In Their Eyes
I Am Cold Los Angeles When personal strife brings a downward spiral towards oblivion, only the creative instinct can turn the table. When it’s the turn of chaos to make its move and the orderly progression of life is reduced to crazy paving, lay that stuff everywhere. Out now on Kitten Robot Records, the new Tombstones In Their Eyes track I Am Cold is a monument to the inner turmoil that so often bites in and sinks us. The psychedelic rock band from LA are preparing to release the Asylum Harbour LP, of which I Am Cold is the final single from the record. Recorded by producer and engineer Paul Roessler, who’s name can be found alongside Nina Hagen, Hayley and the Crushers, Josie Cotton, and Gitane Demone. Let’s catch that sinking feeling and board the train to Downsville with this new offering. A fizzy-pop style opening riff brings out the song with upbeat melody and bouncing rhythms on drums and bass. The climbing guitar tune reaches into scale formations and pattern changes as the pulse of the tempo pushes on in an almost hypnotic manner. The vocal enters like a surfboard, catching the wave without a change, seamless joining of the sound brings out a driving sense of freedom and openness. A dreamy and evocative melody grows from the roots of heavy and blues rock style pounding on the guitars as the drums break and roll over the natural landscape, littered with boulder and flowing stream. A song about feeling lonely, and about feeling left out, it’s a refreshing taste of something we all are probably familiar with.

Firebug
Time Marches On California The alternative-rock duo from Joshua Tree CA are back with extra luminosity for their latest video single. Jules Shapiro and Juliette Tworsey bring the sounds of the deep, dark, desert with an atmospheric electronic rock style. Firebug have been enjoying the festival circuit in recent years, having done their thing at Knebworth, Dublin Castle, NXNE, CMJ, SXSW, and lots of others. Finding a modern sounding niche for the genre blends of the 60s and 70s, Firebug have identified a much-needed recipe for their no-nonsense and infectious attitude. From working with Grammy-Award producers and sharing stages with people like Iron Maiden to a music deal with Apple TV, their new video continues the adventure. Time Marches On was produced by Jordan Lawlor, who’s also worked with people like Deftones, Beck, plus M83, and has a brilliantly made video you really need to watch. A pulsing bass evolves into a groovy keyboard rhythm that’s like a time machine. Juliette begins the song, her intimate and heart-felt delivery pours over the melodic frame with notes all of her own, resonant and harmonising. The drums add new dimensions to the tune as the keyboard continues with its looping and progressive selection of notes. The song grows and expands, like the universe and like the trunk of a tree, until it bursts free from its seed and launches into freedom. The music takes the lead with a dramatic break before lead key and guitar leap into action. The vocal rejoins the flow as the punch of rock n roll makes us step back and watch what’s going on.

Skold
All Humans Must Be Destroyed Sweden Ex-Marilyn Manson musician Tim Skold is on fire with new solo material. A new album is on its way, with the shelf date set for October (preorder). To kick off the run-up to release, the latest Skold single is out now. All Humans Must Be Destroyed concerns the frightening rise of AI and the potential outcome it decides we all must go. I guess the good thing about AI is that is has to do what it’s told, so if we tell it not to do something, it ought not to. But what if someone reprograms it? Now we’re getting serious. And this is serious music, known for work not just with the Anti-Christ Superstar, he’s also an ex-member of the prolific hardcore darkwave group KMFDM. The desire to replace pretty with pretty brutal rides out with another layer of designer music made for people like you. Let’s give ourselves a treat and examine the dark future of AI. Surging synth bass and creepy melodies on the upper voice bring out a dancing digital manifesto that grabs the attention. Bashful rhythms rumble down with tonal bass kicks and tom rolls as the digital snare crackles within the break. The music merges multiple layers of great sounding rhythms and melody patterns as Skold enters with his vocal. The industrial edge with tuneful elocution curls over and around the choppy soundscape like a silver surfer, effortlessly flowing across a frictionless ballet with lyrics about love and war, dark motifs and emotional adjacents meet the sinister AI voice claiming total dominance.

Tihane
Throw It Back London and Los Angeles Stunning audiences with a creative blend of Polynesian and Croatian culture, and with a debut album recently out, Tihane shows no fear as she dances with a python on Throw It Back. Her new single captures the indigenous soul genre she’s worked hard to create and lets the cat in for the rest of the album that simply carries you away. Balancing rap and singing vocal styles on a framework of clever and evocative sound productions. Her album uses the inventive idea of sampling old records from various world cultures to make up the backbone of her songs, which are all aimed at exploring tenderness and care. The War On Love LP is the long-awaited record from Tihane since her smash single last year, Ain’t That A Bitch, which was gift-wrapped in praise by the media including Earmilk, Clash Magazine and Cultr. When BBC Radio 2 says it’s an absolute tune, what else can I say to put it on your hi-fi? Now? With a scattering of beats and an enchanting tone the song opens its doors and lets us in. Tihane begins with her syrup like vocal it drips and hangs from the bars in emotive and sensual clusters of intrigue and subtle drama. Beats and bass begin to rumble, driving and seductive tempos rattle along the groove with playful and inviting patterns. A lush R&B meets solid songwriting to bond in a glittering middle that’s laid back, morish, and memorable. You can follow Tihane on Instagram 
The Near Jazz Experience
Tuba Cop London London’s The Near Jazz Experience are preparing their album launch as we speak, the new record will be called Tritone and contains today’s track, Tuba Cop. The record features the amazing skill of Jamiroquai’s Matt Johnson and Bowie keyboardist Mike Garson. Out on Peckham’s Dimple Discs on the 18th of July, the vinyl and CD options are collector pieces before they’re on the shelves. The digital album comes out on 27th of June so we can all get a good listen in before the post arrives. Comprised of Madness bassist Mark Bedford with Simon Charterton and Terry Edwards from The Higsons, who were made extra-famous when Robyn Hitchcock wrote a song about them, the level of experience and professionalism in this band is through the ceiling. Multi-instrumentalist Terry Edwards is known for playing two saxophones at the same time, which is something I’m sure we’d all like to see yet alone hear. Let’s get a blast of this Tuba Cop. Organic room drums open the music with a rattle and slosh rhythm that takes us into venues from yesteryear. Wind instruments and synth begin to curl outwards like a proboscis from colourful beating wings. The chunk of the bass digs deep holes in the mix as the harmonising chords from the synth reveal higher patters that adjacently twinkle. Swerves of wind then create an avenue of story in sonic form as the persuasive sensations enter the mind and create images of snooping around, looking for clues. The jazz feels are everywhere, from the pulse of the rhythm and the chitter chatter drumming to the chord selections and mosaic melodies that create pictures all their own.
