Copper Lungs – “Broken Beautiful”

Hailing from Dundee, this Scottish band, consisting of Darren Lindsay, Liam Thompson, Inaxio Abecia and Brandyn Murphy, got their start in 2012. They played hometown shows and festivals such as T In The Park and Wickerman and shared the stage with bands like Fatherson and The Xcerts, before taking a lengthy hiatus. They returned in 2023 with a reinvented indie-rock sound. Inspired by Nothing But Thieves and The Band Camino, they debuted their return on “Free World” in 2023.

Reminding us that life is filled with duality and that love, pain, struggles and happiness all go hand in hand, their new single shows that, as well as complicated and heartbreaking, life is precious. Taken from their upcoming album “Broken Beautiful”, expected on May 16th, this anthemic song hooks the listener from the very first note of the melodic electric guitar. Driven by a punchy rhythm, textured synths and emotional harmonies, this catchy tune is a lively indie-rock banger.

Your Smith – “Peaches”

Born in Detroit Lakes as Caroline Smith, this singer/songwriter grew up with music, being taught the guitar by her father aged 8. At 16 she began performing in public leading to opening for B.B. King. She released a self-titled album under her own name in 2006. She then performed with her band The Good Night Sleeps from 2008. After a move to L.A. she reinvented herself again and, inspired by artists like Alanis Morissette, she debuted her new moniker on “The Spot” in 2019.

Reflecting on her own relationship with her brother, her new single explores the kind of connection that doesn’t require many words, but a glance or simply each others company speaks volumes. Creating her own breezy sonic world, the rich, easy-going melody sounds like she captured summer itself. Built on a foundation of a gentle rhythm and warm, mellow guitars, the song embraces us fondly. And with her folky, lustrous vocals, this sunlit tune is steeped in lyrical and aural nostalgia.
