As someone who also moved from Warwickshire to London, this is a personal favourite of the month. St Nick’s Park plays with nostalgic themes and sounds to create something fully new.
While it may not be for everyone, it’s undeniably fresh and interesting, and proves XL Recordings continue to be one of the only labels worth keeping an eye on.
We’ve followed The Slow Country for a while and their string-heavy folksy rock sound is showcased beautifully in this new single which is accompanied by a romantic video shot through a rose-tinted lens.

For fans of: Westside Cowboy, Gently Tender
Having recently signed to So Young Records, half-British half-Parisian band Spanish Horses newest release is symbolic of a hazy Summer evening. Featuring some beautiful guitar work with a psychedelic edge, it’s a track that feels like the start of something big for the band.
For fans of: The Velvet Underground, Big Truck
Sibling duo Esme Emerson dropped their contemplative new single ‘Woof’, exploring ideas of feeling “trapped (or leashed) by a desperation for tenderness”. Co-written by Amber Bain of The Japanese House, who’s influence is clear, it scratches the itch for a great new indie pop track.
For fans of: Marika Hackman, Angel Olsen
Nostalgia for early 00s and 90s music and aesthetics often results in subpar copycats, but green star’s latest release manages to hold it’s own among the rest. Caked in grunge with a soft goth rock aesthetic, they’re making their own space in the over saturated London shoegaze scene.
For fans of: Sonic Youth, my bloody valentine
