Keli Holiday - disco

‍
'disco' is pulsating track that transports you to the late-night revelry of a bustling city. Crafted by Adam Hyde (one half of Peking Duk), the track encompasses the magnetic energy of 4am sticky floors, sweaty bodies, and a night so good that you wont remember.

Holiday describes, "this to me is all about the state of mind that one can enter around 4am when on one. A werewolf to a full moon. A dog in the night,".

GRXCE - Gravel Rash

‍
Switching gears, we have 'Gravel Rash' by GRXCE. Jamila Grace's haunting vocals take center stage as she explores themes of anxiety and heartbreak against a backdrop of indie-rock melodies. With a sound that's been compared to contemporary heavy hitters like Tommy Lefroy and Holly Humberstone, GRXCE is poised to make waves with their raw and introspective lyricism.
