Singles of the Week (43/25)

1) april june - Afterparty

News from Spain dreampop project (Victoria Zolotukhina) 

april june, the Madrid-based dream-pop artist, has an uncanny ability to transform the complexity of human emotion into sonic daydreams. Her forthcoming EP, afterparty, captures the bittersweet interplay of longing, heartbreak, and fleeting moments of connection. Each track is a snapshot, a memory suspended in time, offering listeners a glimpse into the beautiful chaos of fleeting connections and unspoken emotions. With a sound that echoes the melancholic glamour of Lana Del Rey, the ethereal textures of Cocteau Twins, and the emotional vulnerability of The Marías, april june crafts a world where nostalgia and romanticism reign.

‘Shall We Take A Trip? (Leo Zero Remix)’ is available on now 12” 

‘Chicken Rhythms’ is reissued on CD, LP & Digital - out 14/11/25 

Northside played a huge part in Manchester’s early nineties soundtrack. Signed to Factory, the band were said to be the bridge between the Stone Roses and the Happy Mondays, and made their mark in the blooming ‘baggy’ scene. Northside’s career sprung to life with the release of their first single “Shall We Take A Trip’. The band’s 1991 third single, ‘Take 5’ reached the top five in the Billboard alternative songs chart and it also saw them appear on Top of the Pops that June. Produced by The Lightning Seeds’ Ian Broudie (Echo & The Bunnymen, Shack, The Coral, Texas), their album released in 1991 and peaked at number 19 in the charts. This 2025 expanded 1CD edition features radio edits as well as new remixes from pop-music veterans The Reflex & Leo Zero. Also contains a 24 page booklet with new liner notes from John Robb.
