***single of the week***

manchester/uk 
alternative dance / electro-pop band 
Delphic 
return with their first new music in 12 years! 

the amazing new single 'between forms' picks up right where their 
acclaimed debut album 'acolyte'
(#8 on the official uk albums chart back in january 2010) 
left off - a stylish, dynamic wave 
of dreamy indie electronica vibes! 

fingers crossed we also get a third studio album 
from the lads over the course of the year! 

and now, let’s give them a proper welcome back 
and hit play on the new song!

up-and-coming 
coventry/uk 
indie rock / neo britpop / post punk band 
Colour TV


following their return tune '¡baby!'  
from october last year, 
the new song is a bright, melodic indie pop cut 
driven by jangly guitars and driving rhythms, 
carrying the vibe of britpop greats like 
Gene, Suede, Pulp and The Smiths, 
while lyrically it explores feeling stuck in your own head, 
caught in a cycle of inner turmoil and anxiety. 

it was released on march 17 through tip top recordings.

p.s. also, don’t miss the b-side 'spinning in your room', 
moving into a sparser, atmospheric vibe.

p.p.s. think back to their awesome 'christopher’s halo' tune, 
that claimed #1 on our 2023 year-end singles chart!
