#37 Astronauts - In My Direction

London-based musician Dan Carney, otherwise known as Astronauts, will release new single 'In My Direction' with Lo Recordings, 19.01.15.

Taken from Astronauts' debut album, Hollow Ponds, the single combines solid (almost tribal) drums, rippling acoustic guitar and minimal touches of piano. The vocals move between touching harmonies and a call and response between two Carneys. Self-described as 'dad-folk' I think there's something a bit darker going on here; as though there's an aural subtext. Carney creates a dance-folk feeling, using elements of both genres to create a catchy, but understated track.

The video for 'In My Direction' is by Armenia-based production company Manana Films, after they approached Dan about collaboration earlier this year. It stars Armenian actor, Andranik Lavchyan rhythmically wending his way around the capital Yerevan.

Rekindle all your Avril Lavigne angst with the new double single from King Princess.

Platypus Complex' debut single writhes around your noggin, which is exactly what we'd hoped to hear from these desert-driven psychedelic instrumentalists.

Southend meets Salerno, or is it Portsmouth meets Puglia, who knows? Wherever you are this summer the ride is relentless.
