Colour The Atlas- Snow
Colour The Atlas are an English four piece band that combine indie folk with electronic music that blend perfectly to make glitchy electronic gloss over their songs. Check out their 3 song E.P on Itunes if you like what you hear.
Young Wonder- To You
There are some songs that people just need in their life, this is it. Not only is it just a serious instrumental, the lyrics are also exquisitely beautiful.
Panama- It’s Not Over
Sometimes a genre doesn’t quite get allocated to a song as it sweeps in and out of different genres. This song doesn’t have a slot that it fits into, but instead glides through indie-pop and electronic house with a dash of 80’s, with strong drum beats driving it to the end. Panama remind me of a casual Friendly Fires, it brings that calm summer feel back.
Danglo- Adapt- EP
The era of Post-Dubstep is truly in full swing. a producer from West London named Jackson Holmes a.k.a Danglo could be the next big thing. Adapt is electronic music at its best and purest form. Listen to ‘Did I Love’ from the Ep above.
Brenton Duvall
Give your ears a rest with Brenton’s relaxing smooth and laid back style of music. From the producer for the likes of OnCue and many more.
AlunaGeorge- Your Drums, Your Love

Purity Ring’s New Album, Shrines
The electronic pair from Montreal, Purity Ring, have recently released their first album ‘Shrines’. True to the name, the record is a pure work of electronic excellence. Every song contains haunting ethereal vocals of a mystical and spacey nature, that just adds to the crispness and futuristic sound that the record so effortlessly has. All the tracks on the album have a heartbeat of pulsing synths and mysterious chopped beats. It is a plush sound that drips sophistication and other worldly sounds.
Shrines proves that airy ghostly vocals and electronic synths is not outdated, but rather with a new, revamped and modern twist, they can be turned into a cross genre work of joy. Leading tracks include: Ungirthed, Obedear, Fineshrine and Lofticries.
Verdict- **** half. ‘A haunting ethereal electronic debut that oozes mystery and coolness at every synth and beat, matched with delicate yet powerfully beautiful vocals. Perfect summer album if you’re looking for something different’
