**Cold Fame - Jawbreaker**
A little over six months after releasing their debut album 'RED ROOM,' the British Columbian band Cold Fame, fronted by vocalist Jodi Pederson and guitarist Damian Anthony, has delivered a delightfully sweet piece of pop-rock titled 'Jawbreaker.' The track features infectious vocals and an exhilarating chorus reminiscent of MUNA, making it as irresistible as the candy it references; you’ll soon find this catchy tune stuck in your mind.
**IOTA - Smile On**
Formed in 2017, the Bristol-based quintet IOTA showcases their refined sound in their latest single 'Smile On.' As a beloved act in the city's live music scene, the group effortlessly balances atmospheric euphoria with heavy, impactful riffs. Think of the wild intensity of Wolf Alice, infused with even more biting energy.
**Wolf Mask - Sunday Scaries (YGBA)**
Most people have experienced the Sunday scaries at some point, making it fitting for someone to dedicate a song to this feeling. 'Sunday Scaries (YGBA)' by Charleston, NC artist Wolf Mask, taken from his album of the same name released in February, is a dreamy piece that offers reassurance that regardless of what the workweek holds, “you’re gonna be alright.”
**Shivani Sen - The Call I Never Made**
Having grown up in New Delhi before moving to London, Shivani Sen’s single 'The Call I Never Made' is a contemplative reflection on a relationship that beautifully encapsulates the two environments of her life. The track combines elements of Western indie-pop with traditional instruments from her roots, evolving into a rich composition featuring piano, sitar, tanpura, tabla, temple bells, and more.
**Sofia Gobbi - Bigger Man**
Making an entrance is vital, and starting a song with "this song sucks" is an engaging and cheeky tactic that’s sure to catch listeners' attention. With a smirk reminiscent of Wet Leg or fellow newcomers The Pill, Sofia Gobbi’s 'Bigger Man' is an instant indie-rock earworm that humorously critiques a particularly unimpressive male figure before launching into an energetic, guitar-driven anthem.
