Jumanji are a six-piece indie pop band based the south coast seaside town of Brighton.
What they do, and they do it rather bloody well too, is craft bright, breezy and highly melodic indie-pop with dreamy riffs and really infectious feel – and are sure to be stuck in your head for days. Following in from the release of their previous single 'Shindig', Jumanji have ushered new one 'Higher' into the world – and it is simply exquisite. Aside from the bright and upbeat energy, dreamy riffs and catchy-as-hell melodic aura, what connects with the listener is Neneh Atkins' soft melodious voice, bringing their delightful indie-pop sound to life. Jumanji manage to craft a sound that combines and intertwines catchy indie pop with a mature, rockin' and perfectly formed sound; providing addictive, easy listening packed with plenty of punch.
Listen to 'Higher' below, you won't regret it and that's a guarantee.
Eoin Dolan, one of Ireland's finest songwriters, has announced he will release his second full length album Ubique, on the September 22, in association with Citog Records.
Ubique is the follow-up to Dolan's wonderful, self-titled 2016 debut, and as a taster for his forthcoming new LP, Galway musician and singer-songwriter has shared new single 'Good Human Being?' with us. Aptly described by the man himself as "an existential lament to a world of the future where humans travel to the stars, searching for comfort and solace in the darkness of space" – 'Good Human Being?' exudes all the brilliance that's marked out Dolan and his work thus far. It is woozy, waltzing and enchanting psych-pop perfection, with an abundance of sinuous melodies. laid-back and spaced-out vibes. In truth, it is hard not to be taken by this wonderful, woozy number.
Ubique will be released on September 22 through Citóg Records and will be launched as part of the Notions Festival on Inis Oirr Island, followed by a tour Iceland from October 6 to 16.
Listen to 'Good Human Being' below now.
