EPs And Albums To Check Out - August/September

Hi!


Here's 18 albums and EPs from late August to late September that you should try, or read my mini breakdown of each one and see which ones peak your interest!



Hannah Paloma - To the Moon

A five track Indie Folk EP with a fascinatingly dark undertone featuring stripped back, intimate moments which contrast with the detailed dense moments and all led by the captivating, quietly intense vocal deliveries.


Arosa Ensemble - Silver

An ethereal four track EP with beautiful soundscapes and intense gothic moments formed by piano, soft, reverbed synths, airy strings, and occasional percussion and bass backing up the impressive, layered vocals.


Sonik Vilkas - Circadian

An instrumental Electronic / Dance album that pulls from House, Synthwave, Electro, and various other micro-genres to create an immersive, cohesive and varied collection of tracks with a unique retro-futuristic sound.


Phoebe Austin - Wreckage of Desire

A five track Indie Rock album with tasteful production, great songwriting, and dramatic, passionate, and strong vocal performances backed up with acoustic guitar, piano, strings, percussion, and bass.


ALMA - Mosaic

A fantastic Indie Pop album with a colourful collage of sounds, layered vocals, and lyrical ideas that deliver touching moments, humour, and serious statements across the release that all come together into a cohesive whole.


Lauren Hoyle - Fun

A great five track Indie / Pop Rock EP with catchy vocal melodies and engaging vocal performances across the release backed with lively drumming, memorable distorted lead guitar, driving rhythm guitar, and warm bass.


Lewwab - LASER POP

A unique five track Electronic EP with a left-field approach to detailed Dance / House rhythms and a focus on hypnotising patterns with touches of melodic, subdued, Indie flavoured vocals throughout.


Ceitidh Mac - I Reach for the Pen

An EP of experimental leaning Folk with great production and compositions featuring traditional instrumental mixed in with dark soundscapes and led by the spellbinding, dynamic, rising and falling vocals.


besomethingsoft - Call Out To Me EP

An entrancing five track EP of relatively minimal electronic beats led by dynamic delayed vocals that are soft and relaxing and yet substantially present and ear-grabbing at the same time.


Parallels - SUPERSYMMETRY

An album of supremely catchy and euphoric 80’s influenced Pop tracks with spacey, sparkly synths, driving bass and percussion, and memorable, strong, super sweet vocals that deliver otherworldly lyrics.


Kirty - We Are All On Fire

A cohesive Indie Rock album with noisy elements led by breathy, subdued, melancholic vocals leading the tracks backed with alternating backdrops of fuzzy, distorted, and jangly guitar, bass, and percussion.


Roxanne de Bastion - You & Me, We Are The Same

An Indie Rock album with Art Pop and Dream Pop influences led by clear, characterful, floaty vocals backed with a sometimes dark, sometimes pretty backing of jangly guitars, bass, and percussion.


BRNDA - Do You Like Salt?

A quirky Rock album with elements of Alternative Rock, New Wave, and Post Punk with brittle, rhythmic percussion, melodic, driving bass lines, and twitchy, sporadic guitar behind the tongue in cheek vocals.


caro♡ - Heartbeats/Heartbreaks

A melancholic Electronic Pop album with elements of Hyperpop and Downtempo featuring instrumental tracks as well as songs led by sad auto-tuned, processed vocals over detailed, textured soundscapes.


Paris Paloma - cemeteries and socials

A well performed five track Indie EP with a notable progression that starts with quiet, ear-tingling breathy vocal led tracks and progressively gets more upfront and direct before ending with an acoustic number.


Colleen Green - Cool

A lo-fi-ish Indie Rock / Alternative Rock album with fun, creative and distinct songwriting that emphasises quirky and personal lyrics backed with driving bass and percussion rhythms and overdriven guitar.


Victory Brooks - Victory Brooks

A four track Pop EP with memorable, catchy, super sweet vocals backed with sleek production that uses punchy, modern percussion and deep bass hits along with rhythmic, melancholic guitar lines.


Liz Lawrence - The Avalanche

An Indie Pop / Indie Rock album with tracks that each have their own distinct approach and sound with the common elements of punchy percussion, groovy bass, synths, distorted guitar, and dynamic, versatile, catchy vocals.
