Listen to this week’s edition of UNDISCOVERED, featuring our pick of the best new music from the world’s most exciting emerging musicians.
This week’s new music roundup is a genre-hopping melting pot, kicking off with dream-pop electronic trio Acopia, who unveil the lush, ethereal ‘Real Life’, taken from their upcoming album due next month. Keeping the hazy indie magic alive, Irish quartet NewDad deliver ‘Pretty’ a soaring love letter to their hometown of Galway.
Post-punk gets its moment with Liverpool favourites Courting, dropping another hook-laden anthem brimming with spiky rhythms. Across the Atlantic, Brooklyn-based disruptors The Thing turn up the chaos with ‘Malört’ serving a fever-dream blast of snarling riffs, named after Chicago’s notorious liquor for good reason.
Former NOTION cover star Chy Cartier proves she’s still on top of the UK rap game with the knockout ‘Miu Miu’. Australian producer Ninajirachi serves up a hyper-pop-tinged EDM love letter on her debut album, with fan favourite ‘Delete’ offering glitchy synths and euphoric eurotrance energy. Swedish pop visionary Yaeger follows suit, delivering a rave-pop rush that tells the story of an isolated girl seeking connection.
Closing the week, Manchester duo samxemma unleash ‘Venom’, a glitter-soaked, club-fuelled blast of rage. EchoSlim’s high-energy collab ‘All Worked Out’ blends hip-hop, reggae, and dance music to deliver a positive message of collective strength and empowerment. Coventry-born rapper Mugun reflects on loneliness over a skittering rave beat in ‘Searching For Truth’, while UK rock outfit Haytor round things off with glistening indie-pop melodies in their latest track.
