FOLLOWING the retro-indie-soul loveliness of last year’s album for Big Crown, Float Back To You, Paul Spring is showing that breakout classic, seeming to draw on influences as disparate and perfectly married as Skinshape, Marvin Gaye and Terry Callier, was no accident – oh no! – ’twas absolute design; and can be shown by the none-cooler vibes of the band’s first release of 2021, “I Don’t Envy Yesterdays”. That’s out now on all digital streaming platforms – oh, and it’s embedded here, too.

Nightshadow returns in 2021 with their forthcoming album ‘Strike Them Dead’ which follows up from their 2017 self-titled debut EP. The album is due out May 7th and in lead up to its release, the band is sharing their first single ‘Ripper’. The track is a story from the point of view of the malice mind of Jack The Ripper. Regarding the album the band comments: “We are very happy that this album is finally seeing the light of day.

London alt-rock band HYMNS are gearing up for the release of their new EP Reset, out on April 30th by releasing the title track – officially out on April 16th, but we’re delighted to be able to premiere it right here on Backseat Mafia today.
