Jocelyn's Baby — Did it hurt you? // Are You Listening?

New double-single release from Jocelyn’s Baby out today on Blue Grey Pink! The first cuts off an upcoming full-length LP.

A few words from Pilerats:

“ARE YOU LISTENING? is a brooding ballad led by the warm reverb-drenched pitter patters of keys, setting a melancholic tone for layers of vocals to sweep you up in their self-doubt with lyrics such as“someone tell me while I do all this?” Picking up the pace with DID IT HURT YOU? with the addition of melodic guitar lead lines and a fun steady beat, Jess shows her sarcastic and witty side with cleaver and honest lyricism that dance around the idea of an expiration date for artists of a certain age…”

Web Rumors — Northern Service

New single from Web Rumors, Northern Service is the soundtrack to your proto-synth commute. The track features samples of UK rail announcements by Celia Drummond (Humphris) formerly of Trees.

Northern Service is a hypnotic exploration of old school minimal electronics from a modern perspective, give it a spin!” (Will Backler at pilerats.com, 2022)

Production and mixing by Em Burrows

Released exclusively on Bandcamp.

Blue Honey — Colin

The debut single for Blue Honey is out today on all streaming services. The band has this to say:

”Colin is an ode to childhood, an ode to the part of yourself you may have lost when growing up. We hope you love this song just as much as we do and it makes you feel a little less alone in this big scary world ♡”

I love the tune, the vocal performance is a standout and there’s a compelling build through to the final chorus. It was a real pleasure to master.

‘Colin' propelled Blue Honey into the Triple J Unearthed Artist Spotlight with National radio play, and inclusion in the RTRFm Sound Selection in the week starting 14th March 2022.
