Wildcard (week 40):
Disgusting Sisters – Waste Of Space
![]()
Meet the Hopkins sisters, who were raised between the UK and France. Julianna drums in London and Josephine makes films in Paris. Less than two years ago, they wrote a tune about their mum’s dog, and accidentally started a band. New single Waste Of Space is an electronic pop-rock song about a break-up (obviously) and will feature on the sisters’ upcoming debut album.
Anything but disgusting, we give the track the space it deserves. It’s the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, so it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Wildcard (week 39):
Chvrches – Roses
After short but artistically successful solo stints, Lauren Mayberry and Martin Doherty reunited with Iain Cook to continue their Chvrches project. Their new single sounds as sharp, fresh and colourful as could be expected from a song named Roses. It combines a dark and rocking electronic backdrop with a light children’s choir and a biting rap. Curiously, it all ends with the start. Good to have them back!
Roses by Chvrches is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Wildcard (week 38): Troye Sivan – Party
The kind of tracks the word ‘banger’ was invented for. Aussie superstar Troye Sivan just delivered a tune he calls ‘a hypnotic, euphoric ode to losing yourself in a really good night out’. Undoubtedly destined to become a club anthem of the same magnitude as the song it samples: Music by Madonna.
Party by Troye Sivan is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
