1. Toby Kaar – ‘Snapdragon’
A long-awaited release is almost here.
He may have spent five years performing live before releasing his first EP, but Cork producer Toby Kaar’s new tune ‘Snapdragon’ is a worth a wait with its emotive cut-up vocal sample style and beats like a playful Hud Mo track. The EP is released on March 18th on Music Is For Losers.
2. Porches – ‘Be Apart’
Synth pop in shades of excitement.
Deeply shaded electro-pop from New York-based Aaron Maine aka Porches from the upcoming Pool LP. ‘Be Apart’ was debuted by Zane Lowe on Beats 1 last week and the song suggests a nervous excitement with Maine singing “I want to be a part of it all.” Pool comes out on Domino on February 5th.
