Tune in and tune out...
Akapila - Keep Your Head High
Hip hop that’s so laid back it’s looking up at the clouds. We’re unsure what bragging about tram hopping does for your credentials though…
Twin Kidd - Retrograde
Retro-fitted shimmering pop music that builds to a suitably euphoric climax. The sort of song that wakes up with glitter in its pants.
Zaim - Kill It
The rapper’s dextrous delivery is cradled amongst some irresistible housey trap production.
Silver Wilson - I’ll Be There
We tried, we really tried, we really did, but wherever Silver Wilson are saying they’ll be, we definitely won’t be. Sorry, lads.
Jorday - Beautiful Disaster
The production is incredibly weird, like a spluttering pneumatic drill pretending its a drum machine, and even with Jorday’s autotuned croon crying all over the top it all still somehow works. An incredible mess.
Giant Head - A Message
Disturbing skronky robotic hip hop. An anxious, unsettling listen.
Slumb Party - Accident
Spindly post-punk belter with nervy saxophone squelches adding to the chaos.
As December Falls - Keep Dreaming
Moody pop-rock that’s a cut above due to Bethany’s soaring vocals.
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
