James Mernagh emailed a while back to tell us about Kodiak Kid. Hailing from Melbourne this marks his 1st foray into production and what an impressive debut this is. Accompanied by a stunning video by Warwick Ferguson, To The Point is off new 5 track EP Drifting Status out on Chilla Holla. I love the…

Super World Indie Tune Of The Day is by Strength N.I.A – Brendan Bradley
So it’s time for me to step back from SWIT after nearly 4 years! The submissions are coming in thick and fast and I just can’t keep up so I’m afraid I won’t be able to respond to any more of them. Maybe some day that will change. I’ve pretty much loved the whole adventure…
Need a recipe for a tune? Then ask the expert baker aka Freedom Candlemaker
Startos P. got in touch to tell us about Freedom Candlemaker’s new single Journey and forthcoming album – Beaming Light – released 22nd Feb on the excellent Inner Ear Records. Journey is a magnificent slice of baroque pop which at time reminds me of The Associates – as large a compliment as I can pay….
Before I go for a walk with my puppy Tex I’m gonna listen to the new from Odd XX
Turi Agostino aka Odd XX releases new track Restart. Coupling industrial/electro sonics with a wonderfully ominous vocal from Star Kendrick, he’s proving himself to be one of the most original and exciting artists out in SWIT land at the moment. Excellent video too……. The music video was created by Choreographer Edith Buttingsrud Pedersen and Theatre…
Mt. Mélodie reach new heights
The minute you hear Only Ghosts and Useless Things from Mt. Mélodie you’ll want to get up and dance (not in your underwear Tom). Effortlessly catchy guitar pop song with a delicious instrumental outro reminiscent of Deerhunter (imho). This is the 2nd single from the upcoming debut album “Are We There Yet?” due out the…
My name is Pond,Swan Pond
Here’s the fab Swan Pond from Boston “experimental, electronic, sonic” outfit – Violet Nox. Deep electro beats, ethereal vocals, jangly guitars and a masterful display in feedback control .What’s not to like here. Lots of SWITS out of 10.
Bedford Falls Once More Enthralls
New release from Georgia’s answer to The Beatles (and I’m not messing when I’m comparing them to the Liverpool legends) These guys are incapable of penning anything other than fantastic tunes and here’s another masterclass. Check out This Is Your House by the wonderful Bedford Falls. (Cool video too)
Delighted to be the receiver of this track from The Black Fever
Adore this track sent in via the SSSH! portal from The Black Fever called Marketing. It’s 3 minutes and 46 seconds of indie pop perfection. The band say “sometimes the only art or images we see while going about our daily lives are those trying to sell us something. Walking around Toronto, you feel the…
Camel Power Club won’t give you the hump.
I fell in love with this track from Camel Power Club featuring Racoon Racoon after about 10 seconds.Why? Because it’s simply wonderful. It reminds me of Twin Peaks (not that it sounds anything like it but it would do equally a good job sound-tracking it) Léa who got in touch tells me A Wave of…
Super World Indie Tune Of The Day: Who puts Salt in their Tí ??
Salt is the lead single off the brand spanking new album – Tí -by Irish Indie outfit Empire Circus. It was brought to my attention by super music man, vinyl addict and all round good guy M. Kerrigan and boy am I glad he did. Salt is pretty stunning. It has got one…
Super World Indie Tune Of The Day: Little Keys by Mishroom & The Galactic Family
Simply stunning piece of music by Mishroom & The Galactic Family. Coming in at under 2 minutes – Little Keys is one of the most original pieces of music I’ve heard in a long time and the video’s pretty excellent too which was created with “100% “organic” enthusiasm and no graphic effects.” This is from…
Super World Indie Tune Of The Day: I find this track from Entracte Twist impossible to resist. Do you get my gist?
Remi from Atelier Ciseaux Records got in touch to tell us about this absolutely amazing track by Entracte Twist from Paris,France.It’s called Les Esses and it’s off their brand new self titled LP. I don’t like comparing but as a reference to something I’m familiar with – I get a Stranglers vibe off them. It’s…
