New music: Fallulah, Ejeca, Sr Sly & Slow Skies
The best new music/artist picks of the last week. As published in today’s Day & Night Magazine. Follow Day & Night on Twitter and Facebook.
Fallulah
Forget Emmelie De Forest’s Eurovision win, Denmark has much more going for it in the pop stakes, like the Florence Welch-esque sound of this Copenhagen cool chick who just released her second album Escapism.
Ejeca
After Belfast duo Bicep’s ascent into house music’s global charts, this nearby Ballyhenry producer isn’t far behind. His vocally-driven tracks tip into garage/ techno sounds. Northern Ireland is having a dance music moment.
Sir Sly
An LA trio with an inclination for making dubstep-bubbling synth pop tracks. Their songs mix commercial sensibilities with more alternative sounds.
Slow Skies
Karen Sheridan and Conal Herron’s second release, the Close EP wallows in love and loss surrounded by gentle slow-burning atmosphere-filled orchestral pop. Beautiful and brittle.
