Making waves: Joy Crookes
Making waves: Joy Crookes
Seventeen-year-old Joy Crookes started making waves in February when she unleashed her dramatic and Lana De Rey-esque New Manhattan upon the world, and now, after a few short months, she’s now back with wonderful assured Sinatra.
Whereas New Manhattan was all strings and grandeur, Sinatra has trip hop stylings, midnight guitar riffs, and vocals soulfully alluring and spitting attitude.

Promises Ltd - American Eyes
Promises Ltd – American Eyes
If you’ve been watching Stranger Things and feeling nostalgic for that warm 80s electropop sound, then you are in for a treat with the dreamy American Eyes from Promises Ltd.
The Brooklyn/LA duo is made up of Jeremy Malvin (aka Chrome Sparks) and Charlie Brand (from the band Miniature Tigers), and on American Eyes they have managed to produce something that manages to effortlessly move from 80s…

Two Feet - First Steps EP
Two Feet – First Steps EP
A few bars into the first track from NYC-based Two Feet‘s debut EP and I’m already finding myself walking with that strut that comes from listening to a record that is just cool-as-fuck.
The EP fades into Go Fuck Yourself with a little jazz/blues vocals and a vinyl crackle before we hit the heavy bass and a blues riff that has no godly place sounding that suave.
The whole EP manages to give a…

Tender - Outside
Tender – Outside
London-based James Cullen and Dan Cobb have been slowly building a reputation over the last 12 months under the Tender moniker, drip-feeding us with reflective R&B-inflected grooves (which we’ve featured on 22tracks). And now signed to Partisan, they have dropped their best track to date.
Outsideis a slow burning sultry groove, with smooth harmonies, soft keys, twinkling synths, and a guitar…

Rob Bravery - You Take Half
Rob Bravery – You Take Half
Bristol’s Rob Bravery first made waves last year with the release of his eclectic Esque EP, but now he seems to have found his own sound, standing on the shoulders of the trip hop pioneers that came before him.
On his latest single, You Take Half, Bravery has teamed up with producer and former Sneaker Pimp Liam Howe to create a cut that incorporates the heavy bass and twinkling piano keys that…

Twilight of the Gods at the Hospital Club
Twilight of the Gods at the Hospital Club
We’re nothing if not eclectic here at the ‘old Walrus, so when the folks from the Arensky Chamber Orchestra sent over an invite for Wagner and cocktails at London’s Hospital Club there was only ever going to be one answer.
Sure, my previous exposure to Wagner could be put down to Apocalypse Now and a rather impressive Herbert von Karajan vinyl box set of Der Ring des Nibelungen I inherited from…

Skott - Porcelain / Wolf
Skott – Porcelain / Wolf
I missed out on writing about Skott‘s wonderful debut Porcelain during our brief hiatus last month, but lucky for me the Scandinavian newcomer’s second release, Wolf, might be even better.
The story goes that she grew up in a commune, surrounded by folk musicians and had a childhood unaware of contemporary music, but while thee traditional folk influences are few and far between – the glacial…

D/R/U/G/S – New Born Love (ft. Akiine)
We’ve featured Manchester’s D/R/U/G/S a few times on these pages for his beautifully laid-back electronic jams, and today he’s teamed up with Akiine for some luscious vocals on New Born Love.
The track is made for the hazy dancefloor, with a rhythm pulsating beneath soft chords and Akiine’s sultry vocals adding texture and building out the soundscape into something all the more mesmerising.

Walrus live: Hopscotch featuring Bad Sounds, Oh Boy!, and Engine
June’s Hopscotch is tomorrow night, but we’ve already got some more great bands for your ears next month – with the likes of Bad Sounds, Oh Boy!, and Engine gracing the stage at London’s The Social on 19th July.
Bad Sounds will be bringing the party from Bath, with their fuzzy pop hooks, psych tinges, and 70s vibes. It’s woozy pop with “killer bass lines and some hip shaking handclaps”.

Introducing: Edges
Music is an escape for us all, but few know that as well as Berlin-based musician Edges, who has turned to the songwriting process as his form of travelling and experiencing the world.
The German capital may be better known for its electronic scene, but for Edges, known to his friends as Sami Simon, it has provided the inspiration and backdrop for his own melancholic alt-folk.
On his debut track,

Junior Empire - West Coast
Junior Empire – West Coast
The first time you wrap your ears around Junior Empire‘s debut single West Coast it feels like summer has arrived, with all the rooftop parties and late nights hazes that entails.
It’s a joyous, almost euphoric pop jam with a 90s beat and Jamie T-esque vocals that the London-based five-piece say was written out in LA (the eponymous West Coast city) where they saw the “endless opportunity” that…

New Walrus contributor Ewan Atkinson plays therapist to The Big Moon front-women, Juliette, while they were in Brighton killing it at The Great Escape.
“This all feels a bit like therapy but a lot less private as it will be going on the Internet.” Juliette Jackson confesses. Through the maze of tunnels that is the backstage area of the Brighton Dome and Corn Exchange, past the numerous Grime…

Will Joseph Cook - Take Me Dancing
Will Joseph Cook – Take Me Dancing
Walrus favourite Will Joseph Cook has been going from strength to strength this year, and today we’ve got the stream of what is my favourite live track from the 18-year-old – Take Me Dancing.
It all starts off slow and introspective, but soon breaks into the utter joy of finding someone with whom to dance your life away.

Introducing: Persian Poems
Persian is great literary traditions of mankind, spanning more than two-and-a-half millennia, so with a name like Persian Poems – you have a lot to live up to.
For his debut release, the Bristol-based Iranian musician has released TAPE #1 (Farewell Symphony), a tranquil tribute to the changes, and born in the nervous excitement he felt when he found out he was going to become a father.
