Bad Sounds – Wages

Posted on November 16, 2016 by Indietronica Staff

Bad Sounds by Charlotte Patmore

Keeping us in fits of giggles, Bath based band, Bad Sounds are back with ‘Wages’.

Bad Sounds say of the track,

“‘Wages’ is our working in retail ballad, it comes from us getting stuck in situations that we don’t want to be stuck in. It’s just a bit of a sulk and some trumpets…”

We’ve watched these guys live, and the fun-fuelled video for ‘Wages’ fully encompasses the Bad Sounds vibe.

Live Dates
Tues 29th Nov – Camden Assembly, London
Wed 30th Nov – Exchange, Bristol

Sounds like: Wolf Alice, Beach Baby, Pulp, Blur, Black Honey, De La Soul, Beastie Boys

MOTHXR – Touch

Posted on November 9, 2015 by Indietronica Staff

MOTHXR

Brooklyn four-piece MOTHXR returns with ‘Touch’.

Despite having already been placed high in music charts across the world, MOTHXR is a band that is not particularly vocal about its successes, remaining relatively “undiscovered”…but that’s why we like them; they just get on with things.

Penn Badgley (also of Gossip Girl fame) says the band’s music lies “somewhere between DIY punk production aesthetic, new wave and R&B,” naming influences like LCD Soundsystem, the Beastie Boys, and Arthur Russell. He calls their improvised songwriting “meticulous, but totally spontaneous.”

It’s the band’s first new music since signing with Washington Square and Kitsuné Records, but it’s equally as sensual as their last, with a subtle build up to an incredible climax at the end.

UK November Shows:

23rd London Borderline
24th Paris Badaboum

Sounds like: Jungle, Great Good Fine Ok, The Weeknd, HUNTAR

Cash + David – Funn

Posted on February 24, 2014 by Indietronica Staff

Cash+David

Cash+David are a British electronic duo.

Like many modern electronic artists, their influences include the Beastie Boys, M83 and The Knife. We are sure there are some Nine Inch Nails influences somewhere there too.

‘Funn’ is a simple but effective juxtaposition between garage rock beats and echoey synths.

The beautifully shot video for new single ‘Funn’ is geared around a dance battle between Johnny Cash & David Bowie lookalikes.

You can purchase the single on iTunes from 10 March.

Sounds like: M83, Sleigh Bells, BOY, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nine Inch Nails, Death Rattle
