Late August singles: Dany Laj and The Looks, Dust Star, Orchidella, Randy Klawon, The Chords UK


Dany Laj and The Looks lean into the skinny pop style with this cool new single “Meet Me On The Floor.” “Shadow On The Hill,” Dust Star‘s newest single, was great, and it makes me want to listen to the band’s first record. Onsie has a new one, a swirling gem with many key changes, and Orchidella is a Sheffield band with a debut album, it’s first single is a catchy little tune written back in 2021. Musician Randy Klawon (The Choir, Cyrus Erie) recently contributed to the new Half-Cubes album, but his single is pretty cool too! Finally The Chords UK‘s new single remembers “Indie Disco Friday Night,” with not a single note of actual disco music (I love it). The lyrics really speak to me. Note: Last week I featured Scott Roberts’s “After We Go,” little did I know an Eytan Mirsky cover was done six years ago! Also – coming up for our long weekend is the return of Freebie Friday!
