While working on their third album, Mighty Oaks decided to have another go at the four songs on the never officially released EP that started their career, and whose title track Driftwood Seats closed almost every show over the years.
Wonderful stuff! t.co/71wCxqDSxg
On new single Never Let Go, whenyoung sound more stylish, more sophisticated. The guitars are less prominent in the mix, in favour of synths. This gives the song a fuller sound, ready for radio and hopefully a next step towards the masses. Nice! bit.ly/CBMwhenyoung3
Never heard of Jesse Hite? You’re not to blame, When It All Comes Down is only his debut single. But what a way to start a career!
It's equal parts funk and soul, and a horn section makes it even groovier. His debut EP comes out this Spring.

Five year since their break-through single Best Days Of My Life, American Authors are about to issue their third album Seasons. It contains the three singles they released last year, and the brand-new track Stay Around.

Stats (fronted by ex La Roux and ex Dua Lipa band member Ed Seed) are a London sextet that plays full-band dance music, inspired by the likes of Roxy Music and LCD Soundsystem. Their funky single Lose It sounds like it could be playlisted by radio stations and streaming services all around. bit.ly/CBMstats
Mercury Rev’s new album will be a starstudded reconstruction of Bobbie Gentry’s cult classic The Delta Sweete. A beautifully arranged version of Okolona River Bottom Band (feat. Norah Jones) is the set’s intriguing new single.
Looking forward to the rest! bit.ly/CBMmercuryrev
YouTube personality/actress Adèle Castillon and singer-songwriter Matthieu Reynaud are Videoclub. Roi (French for ‘king’) is only the teens' second outing.
A lovely electronic pop song with classic 'chanson' melodies, coupled with eighties-influenced raps. bit.ly/CBMvideoclub
