In The Spotlight

Elder Island – “Pink Lemon”

Hailing from Bristol, this British band was formed in 2014 and consists of Katy Sargent, Luke Thornton and David Havard. Originally named Trouvaille playing folk, they’re now named after a Canadian island and focus on electronica. They’ve played festivals like CRSSD Festival in the US and Stowaway Festival in the UK and venues like New York’s Bowery Ballroom and London’s Roundhouse. Inspired by Radiohead, Erykah Badu and Paul McCartney, they released their self-titled debut EP in 2014.

Championing the desire to be whisked away from the everyday, their new single celebrates the urge to escape monotony for a more adventurous life. Taken from their upcoming album “Hello Baby Okay”, expected on May 8th, this joyful soul-pop song uses classic 90s filters to give it a vintage feel. Wrapped in mellow nostalgia from the jangly guitars and retro beat, it’s filled with laid-back familiarity. And with her sun-drenched vocals, this hazy neo-disco groove sounds irresistible.

Arts Fishing Club – “Feed Me To The Wolves”

Based in Nashville, this US band consists of Christopher Kessenich, Jody Lee Oliver and Chris Dunkley. Named as a tribute to Kessenich’s grand-fathers, both named Arthur, they are known for their folk/rock blend, energetic live shows and heartfelt lyricism. They’ve played festivals such as Summerfest and the Philadelphia Folk Festival and venues like the Brooklyn Bowl and White Oak Music Hall. Inspired by Bon Iver, Paul Simon and Mt. Joy, they debuted with “Shaking For Your Love” in 2017.

Reminding us that the choices we make in life will determine where we go and where we end up, their new single tells us that indecision will lead to regret. Driven by an almost tribal drum, the song ascends bit by bit in intensity. Starting with a commanding bassline and understated synth, the mellifluous melody evolves with distorted guitars into an imposing soundscape. And with emotive vocals completing the rich production, this lavish tune captures our attention from the first note.
