Premiere: Mad Winter – Running Low

Posted on August 10, 2016 by Indietronica Staff

Mad Winter

The city of Manchester exports some pretty decent bands, and Mad Winter are one of those.

An exciting and infectious four piece who merge indie rock with subtle electronic tones, these guys are primarily united by their love of music and hometown idols Oasis, Stereophonics, and Foals.

Catchy hooks and gentle guitars leave you swaying for more on new track ‘Running Low’.

Their debut EP, ‘Emergence’, is out on 19 August via Keep Me Young Records, and available for pre-order on iTunes here.

Mad Winter will also be having their EP launch party at Night & Day Cafe in Manchester on 20 August.

Premiere: Adam Jensen – DRUGS

Posted on August 4, 2016 by Indietronica Staff

Adam Jensen

Adam Jensen has many stories to tell about bar brawls, stabbings, guns and gangsters in his home city of Boston, but music has literally saved his life, having always being a central part of him from the age of nine, when he started playing piano.

Turning the negative into a positive has helped Adam get through some tough times, which probably explains the upbeat tone of his darkly-written songs.

His new single ‘DRUGS’ is not necessarily about drugs per se, but still shows signs of an addiction. We suspect it involves a girl.

Have a listen below, and we guarantee your heads will be bopping throughout.

Sounds like: Sam Feldt, The Him, Hotel Garuda

Premiere: Techniques – Heinous Love

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Indietronica Staff

Techniques – Heinous Love

Techniques is the project of Manchester-based multi-instrumentalist, James Mulholland.

Like with all good electronic producers, James started creating and recording music in his bedroom, laying down drums, bass lines, guitars, synths and vocals all using one microphone and ‘whatever else was lying around’.

He has since released music on Kitsuné Music and electronic rumors.

Techniques is now set to share a fine slice of electro-pop, just in time for the summer.

‘Heinous Love’ is a juxtaposing slur of bittersweet vocals against floor-filling and driving synths. It has been produced by Mark Ralph (Hot Chip, Digitalism, Years & Years, Clean Bandit, Hot Natured, Foxes).

Techniques is also crowdfunding a vinyl release. Click here for more info and to support.

The track is out tomorrow.

Sounds like: Hot Chip, Digitalism, Hot Natured, Holy Ghost!, Miami Horror, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
