Red Sleeping Beauty - Could Have Been Me
Sometimes you hear a song for the first time and you immediately say, "Add it to my Best of the Year list!" Red Sleeping Beauty's October song of the month is Perfection! I only want it to be longer so I can dance longer! Synth punches straight to my heart! REPEAT!! Featuring vocal duties from Acid House Kings' Julia Lannerheim. My new favorite of the bunch!

Fotonovela - Justice (feat. Sarah Blackwood)
It's been over 10 years since Fotonovela's excellent album "A Ton of Love" was released. I still love hearing tracks from it pop up on my randomizer. This one played a few days ago when I was preparing dinner and made me very happy! Featuring the lovely vocals of Dubstar/CLIENT's Sarah Blackwood!

Sassyhiya - Boat Called Predator
Sassyhiya is the latest addition to Skep Wax Records and are set to release their debut full-length on November 8th! The album is called "Take You Somewhere" and based on the couple tracks we've heard so far, it's going to be a jangly, indie pop dream!
And here's info the the album's press release!
Sassyhiya want to take you somewhere. The journey starts in Kathy and Helen’s flat in South London. Sit down, close your eyes, and immerse yourself... You are on your way to a musical rainforest a long way from Camberwell.
Explore your new surroundings, and you will find beautiful pop blooms like Let’s See What We Can Find, as bright and vibrant as The Sundays, thrusting their colourful faces up from the forest floor. You’ll find tangles of sharp-edged guitar, as if Swiss she-punks Kleenex had been left to evolve here in the rich fertile soil (I Had A Thought). You’ll find dark pools full of lyrical complexity, deceptively deep and immersive, with shimmering reflections of The Go-Betweens (Perennial). And you’ll come across delicate love songs, creeping up the trunks and branches of the bass and drums, displaying their fragile beauty (Thank You And Goodbye). And what’s that exotic striped animal prowling through the undergrowth? Actually, it’s Crayon Potato, Sassyhiya’s pet cat, the other resident of their flat in South London, taking up her role as the feline star of a lilting, singalong anthem written in her honour.
That’s what is so great about this album. You are somehow, simultaneously, exploring the most exotic forest in the world while also sitting in a flat in an ordinary, familiar English street with Sassyhiya and their cat. This album transports you without pretending the real world doesn’t exist: it doesn’t get all mystical on you (Take You Somewhere is as unlike Enya as anything you’ve heard). Sometimes you might be reminded of Girls At Our Best, and then Delta 5. You might even, on occasion, think of Echo and the Bunnymen.
The album opens with their single, Boat Called Predator: an appropriate start, inviting you to embark: insistent, almost ominous, but with a siren call of a chorus that means you can’t go back. The first single, Kristen Stewart, is here too: a bold love song to a queer icon, affirming Sassyhiya’s status as the queens (and kings) of a thriving queer indiepop scene. It’s joyous and it’s life-affirming. There are other love songs here too, like the jokey, wonkily flirtatious Puppet Museum. The album ends with You Can Give It (But You Can’t Take It) - a proper anthem of defiance, gently but insistently taking down the bullies and reactionaries who trample over beauty and diversity: the kind of people you might, unfortunately, bump into as you make your way back onto the streets of South London.
