Watch! STACEY – Sleep Alone
Toronto artist STACEY has a new video from her lovely debut EP. The track is Sleep Alone, something I never have to do thanks to my army of teddy bears. The track is another piano track that hits all the...

Listen! Banks – Goddess
More stuff from LA singer Banks, who is finally making waves outside of the blogosphere. We’ve featured her, oh, a half dozen times, including her London EP. The dark pop singer has a new track called Goddess, surely not named...
Listen! Grand Cousin – Oxygen
Some lovely indie pop from Grand Cousin. The track is called Oxygen, which they sell in a can nowadays – how about that?! The track has a sunny, poppy feel, with a mix of guitars and a bit of a...
Listen! Layla – Black Mud
More stuff from English singer Layla. Following that of Yellow Circles comes what is all over my finest jacket – Black Mud. The track has a big sound to it, with layers of sounds and music complimenting the big, sweet...
Listen! Lykke Li – Gunshot
More beautiful stuff from Lykke Li, who only seems to release stuff of high quality these days. Following up I Never Learn, Love Me Like I’m Not Made Of Stone, and No Rest For The Wicked, is Gunshot. Gunshot has...
Listen! Caitlin Park – Lemonade
Have a listen to this moody, but happily catchy, layered, indie folktronica (yes!) from Sydney’s Caitlin Park. Then, head over to her Soundcloud page and listen to her covering Solange. Then, I don’t know… take a walk, or something.
Listen! Elliphant – Look Like You Love It EP
We’ve featured Swedish genre-jumping artist Elliphant several times on PHM. Now you can stream her whole EP, Look Like You Love It (which is how you should act if listening to it around her). The Mad Decent released EP has...
Watch! Lana Del Rey – West Coast
A winning formula on paper would be Lana Del Rey singing, with production work by Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys. Often the reality doesn’t match the paper version, but this time thankfully it does. We have our first listen...
Watch! Daughter – Shallows (Live @ Air Studios)
Daughter haven’t come out with any new material since we saw them at Osheaga, and in Toronto (when we interviewed them). However, the band are about to drop a digital EP on April 15. It’s a live recording from London’s...
Watch! The Mary Onettes – Naive Dream
We’ve featured The Mary Onettes more than onette time, including tracks Evil Coast, Don’t Forget, and Hit the Waves. The Swedes celebrated this week’s release of Portico with a new video for Naive Dream. The breezy pop song is fittingly...
Listen! Aquilo – Aquilo EP (stream)
Some dream pop to make you float away your day. The male duo are called Aquilo and they have a new self-titled EP, which you can stream below. Opener You There is sparse and dreamy, while the rest of the...
Listen! Flyte – Where Nobody Knows Your Name
London group Flyte are prepping new single We Are the Rain. The band have shared a B-side, the anti-Cheers titled track Where Nobody Knows Your Name. Sounds like every party that I have ever been to. Where Nobody Knows Your...
Listen! Solomon Grey – Glas/Green
We previously featured Solomon Grey and the London duo’s fab track, Last Century Man. The lads return with Glas/Green, and I don’t know what that title means either. I do know that it is another good track. It has a...
Listen! London Grammar – Sights
PHM caught London Grammar in Toronto back in October. As the band gear up for another Toronto show on April 7 (with highly touted opener Vancouver Sleep Clinic), the band have dropped another single from their debut album If You...
Listen! First Aid Kit – My Silver Lining
First Aid Kit’s last album was well liked at the PeteHatesMusic headquarters, landing at the number 5 spot on our Top Albums of 2012, and their track Emmylou making our Top Songs of 2012. Well then, I’m as happy as...
