Lissie’s new covers EP was self-produced by Lissie and her band in their home of Ojai, CA. “We were approached to cover “Mother” by Danzig which led to a fun week in the studio that inspired us to lay down some other covers we had either been playing live already or had been wanting to…

We’re totally in love with this infectious number at the Love is Pop office this week. They’re like a cross between Bloc Party and Arctic Monkeys with a dash of Kaiser Chiefs thrown in for good measure. Very good stuff indeed. We love the jangly guitars, fancy percussion and the inviting vocals.

Hailing from Liverpool, VEYU’s debut double A-side, “The Everlasting” b/w “Running,” is one promising debut… “The Everlasting” is a perfect blend of Depeche Mode’s almost-but-not-quite industrial vibe and New Order’s knack for enchanting melodies. Interestingly, the track opens with loops of sounds recorded in industrial spaces, including metal pipes chiming on floors and the cracking of wood. But…
