![]() In the latest issue of DIY, Sunflower Bean guitarist Nick Kivlen noted how even the group’s closest friends have no idea what their next song will sound like. Try to not have its infectiously catchy NSFW chorus “Treat me like a slut, little dirty bitch, I love to fuck” playing in your mind throughout the weekend. Full of sex-positive anthems, standout ‘Treat Me Like A Slut’ is a dance floor-ready club number, all about letting your inner-slut flag fly. But if you thought boob-loving bop ‘Coconuts’ was what she meant, new seven-track EP ‘Slut Pop’ has arrived to prove you seriously wrong. When we spoke to Kim last year for our DIY In Deep digital cover, she told us, “I love writing fucked up, dirty stuff”. A pulsating, scratchy number that barely hits the two-minute mark, it features Jack White in full electric flow throughout, both when near-spitting his vocals and etching out a signature guitar solo. For while “When the moon is above you / Does it tell you ‘I love you’ by screaming?” is both a great line - and question it’s possible to spend an inordinate number of minutes pondering - the April record’s title track isn’t about the lyrics. (Louisa Dixon)Ĭontinuing his pattern of sharing a track from each of this year’s two full-length releases in turn, ‘Fear of the Dawn’ continues where ‘Taking Me Back’ left off - and turns it up a few notches. As smooth and bittersweet as you’d expect, get those Stetsons ready. Part of the first ‘chapter’ of Orville’s second album, ‘Bronco’, set for release in April, ‘C’Mon Baby Cry’ takes cues from both the masked musician’s love of country, and plain ol’ crooning: if there’s not space for a Vegas residency for his dulcet tones (which, after the flouro lights of the accompanying video, feels like an inevitability) then there’s surely a ’50s musical. If the opening gambit of “Shine like VV / bad like RiRi” doesn’t give away the infectious confidence that runs through Bree Runway’s latest, then the iconic, Y2K-inspired video definitely will. It might still be dark, damp and shiveringly cold outside, but ‘Pressure’ has all the hallmarks of a summer party anthem. You might think, dear reader, that the week’s new music would be overshadowed by such BRITS goings on as Wolf Alice bagging a gong, Ed Sheeran embracing the dark side and Anne-Marie’s ankle making a star turn, but no! It’s been a bumper 7 days for three-minute wonders, and here’s our pick of the bunch.
