52 Issue 86 / 2016 INDIE TRACK OF THE MONTH: FACE+HEEL - WE CAN SWIM The UMAs is the world's first televised music industry awards show dedicated to unsigned music The Welsh duo drop another single from their debut album Out on their brand new label Dekalog OmniWare through Believe Digital, the single explores the tragic story of the village of Dryweryn's flooding to make a reservoir for Liverpool in the 1960s. It's a magical realism themed love song set in the doomed village "about two lovers; one who decides to stay, living underwater...and the other who decides to leave". Using heavy synths, punchy guitars and warming vocals, the track creates a bridge between electro- pop, dance and art-rock, a sound that is quickly becoming the duo's trademark.

NEWS: APPLICATIONS FOR THE UNSIGNED MUSIC AWARDS ARE OPEN ALBUM OF THE MONTH: EVERYTHING YOU'VE COME TO EXPECT The Last Shadow Puppets come back in a blaze of string arrangements and soulful guitar. Alex Turner and Miles Kane return to top form on this, their second album as the Last Shadow Puppets. If The Age of the Understatement was an exercise in 60s baroque pop, Kane and Turner have moved a decade or so into the future on Everything You've Come to Expect. Yet, for all its 70s nostalgia, the record is full of surprises. PARA On 'Aviation', the ghost of Scott Walker is as present as it ever was on the 'Shadow Puppets' first album, The Age of the Understatement, which links the two albums. However, after this, the album wanders through experiments of hazy, sunset music which reflect Turner and Kane's relocation to California. PARA Mixing soulful inspirations such as Isaac Haayes on Hot Buttered Soul with the kind of lush orchestral arrangements which were hinted at on album number one, the album creates tracks like the eponymous Everything You've Come to Expect, dreamy and dramatic in equal measure.
