New Music

rom busking on the streets in Wellington, New Zealand, to touring with some of the biggest acts at the moment, Drax Project is a band you need to listen to!

Owen’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. From performing for politicians at Westminster to rubbing shoulders with Willie Nelson in Nashville

The band explains the song’s meaning as a tale of two “negative magnets” who, despite knowing their relationship is doomed, can’t help but be drawn together – the perfect “Ying and Yang.”

Influences like Tame Impala and Bon Iver are evident, but Carnival Youth blends these with accessibility and fun, creating a track that’s both bold and enjoyable.

It is even rarer that I am stuck for words but I must admit Amber Run's new single The Weight succeeded on both counts.

This new track is a sunny, jangly pop tune that promises to fit seamlessly into the playlists of indie lovers everywhere, especially fans of feel-good music.

While the lyrics are powerful and emotional, they contrast with the upbeat indie rock rhythm, creating a slight sense of melancholy for the listener.

According to the band, ‘Glow’ is a bit different: "It’s a pop song that’s funkier and groovier, thanks to the beat and slap bass. The song’s simple structure allows us to let it evolve, layering synths, guitar, and more as it progresses until it all explodes in the end."
