Squarehead’s “Fake Blood” is a charmingly ramshackle slice of slacker indie pie and stands out a mile on the the Popical Island compilation of new(ish) Dublin acts. Squarehead plays the Popical Island all-day bash at Whelan’s in Dublin on Saturday so you can see if there’s more where that comes from. Listen to “Fake Blood” here.
From Minneapolis with stop-offs in New York and New Orleans, Dark Dark Dark make hugely appealing, widescreen chamber-pop. Check out their “Bright Bright Bright EP” for some more infectious, heartbreaking tunes from the lonely corner of a smokey saloon bar.
Recent Duke University sociology and business graduate Posner first raised the roof with his “A Matter of Time” and “One Foot Out the Door” mixtapes. Now signed to J Records and recently spotted touring with Drake, expect his soulful raspy hip-pop to feature all over the gaff in the coming months.
