Now signed to Chess Club - a label famed for breaking new talent, where recent exciting signings include Alfie Templeman and Phoebe Green, and past successes include Jungle, Wolf Alice and Easy Life - Pixey is making more waves than ever before. ‘Just Move’ drew attention from BBC Radio 1 DJs Jack Saunders (who made Pixey one of his Next Wave artists) and Huw Stephens amongst many other admirers like Radio X’s John Kennedy who added the band to the X-Posure playlist at the station in October. Pixey has also featured as the cover artist of Spotify’s Indie Brandneu (GER) and Peach editorial playlists, and was amongst the artists named in major annual tips lists, the Dork HYPE List and the NME 100.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew single ‘Electric Dream’ - with its accompanying video by Thomas Davies - combines cavernous drum machines and dreamy pop melodies with a signature dance stomp. Speaking about new single, Pixey explains: “‘Electric Dream’ was originally written as a piano ballad but after finishing the lyrics I felt the song worked as a dance track. I wrote it to make sense of being locked in with nothing to rely on but technology. The verses are all of my anxieties that come with that - like trying to simulate humanity digitally and what kind of a future that would be - but the choruses are about the imperfections of real life that technology and AI can’t give us.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDebut EP Free To Live In Colour was written, recorded and produced in Pixey’s bedroom in Liverpool - with additional production added by frequent Gorillaz and Jamie T collaborator James Dring - and draws inspiration from genres like hardcore breakbeat anddream pop. Pixey says: “I wanted a collection of tracks which gave a quick snapshot into me and my brain - where I’m from, where I want to be and what I’m thinking about. I hope people can take something meaningful from it or simply have a dance.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePixey first discovered music as a toddler - she remembers not even being able to walk yet but desperate to sing and dance to Queen - before discovering the likes of Kate Bush, Björk, and George Harrison, whose classic songwriting struck a chord with her in her youth. The catalyst for Pixey’s musical coming of age however, was a near fatal viral illness suffered in early 2016 which hospitalised her, she says: “When I thought I was going to die I thought of all the things I wish I’d done and music was the first thing I thought of. As soon as I started recovering I started learning to record and produce.” She taught herself Ableton production software before mastering guitar and eventually drums and bass after her previous (and current) boyfriend(s) left their instruments lying around to prove she could learn it quicker and play it better. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnce able to carve out her own sound, Pixey turned to The Verve, The Prodigy and De La Soul for sonic inspiration, adding: “I particularly like the idea of using samples\/making my own riffs sound like samples which was heavily inspired by the [De La Soul] album 3 Feet High and Rising. Starting out initially though Grimes was a huge catalyst when I realized she wrote, recorded \u0026amp; produced herself.” Her prolific and unusual songwriting style stems from an original riff or beat, with further layers added as she records and produces, and lyrics being added last - the process taking only a day or two. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith Free To Live In Colour and a whole arsenal of further material being readied on her new label home, Chess Club, Pixey is primed for big things in 2021 and beyond.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOTHER ACTIVITY: Chess Club – Chess Club (chessclub-records.co.uk)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chess Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39596873679004,"sku":"CC101","price":11.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/Pixey-FreeToLiveInColour.jpg?v=1617904910"},{"product_id":"alfie-templeman-forever-isnt-long-enough-cd","title":"Alfie Templeman - Forever Isn't Long Enough [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eCat. no: CCLP11CD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: CD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5056167129622\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 7th May 2021\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Indie\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Templeman’s songs max on melody ... he has to be one to watch closely” - The Sunday Times Culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“a soon to be international rising star” - British Vogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Alfie is fast proving himself ready to snatch away Rex Orange County’s crown” - DIY.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“the pains and tribulations of young love are all over Alfie Templeman’s music, shot through a kaleidoscopic haze that recalls Kevin Parker if he was into lounge-jazz.” - NME.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCampaign Highlights\u003cbr\u003eBBC Sound of 2021 long-list nominee.\u003cbr\u003eRadio X Tips for 2021.\u003cbr\u003eVevo Artist to Watch for 2021.\u003cbr\u003eAmazon Music One to Watch for 2021.\u003cbr\u003eMTV Push Artist for 2021.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress tips for 2021 include\u003cbr\u003eThe Independent, The Telegraph, The Sun, Sunday Mirror, and The Huffington Post.\u003cbr\u003e3x BBC Radio 1 playlist records in 2020: B-List for ‘Forever Isn’t Long Enough’ and C-List on ‘Happiness in Liquid Form’ \u0026amp; ‘Obvious Guy’.\u003cbr\u003eOver 200x BBC Radio 1 plays to date.

Coach Party eventually formed after Eastwood and guitarist Steph Norris decided to start playing music together; quickly realising that there was something special about the pair’s songwriting and bond, guitarist Joe Perry and drummer Page joined the ranks. Musically, Coach Party are inspired by a broad palate of artists, but always find themselves drawn back to Nirvana, Sonic Youth and The Strokes, and contemporary artists like Wolf Alice, The Big Moon and Tame Impala. Ultimately though, Coach Party’s primary drive to write and perform music comes from “the often entertaining struggle of real life.” The band still live and work on the Isle of Wight (Jess at a farm park, Guy in a music studio and Steph \u0026amp; Joe in cafes), and describe life on the island as going “through pretty distinct phases of being a great, and a really frustrating place to live.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003e 1.

The EP will also contain recent singles ‘gutter’ and ‘garden’, which introduced Trout’s masterful indie-rock brevity and magnetic self-production finesse, receiving widespread praise and early supporters including Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music. Following compelling early sets at The Great Escape in May, Trout is confirmed to play further upcoming festivals including Hackney’s Visions Festival this weekend and Manchester Psych Festival in September. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the sunny, jangly ‘garden’, ‘in my room’ leans back into the grungier side of Trout’s repertoire, a track which plays on the fine line between romantic and unsettling in its depiction of an all-consuming adoration. This manifests itself in refrains like ‘Be the places I ignore \/ The hairs on my bed \/ Be the mould growing up my door’, and Trout explains; “‘’in my room’ is about completely adoring someone. It’s meant to be sweet and endearing but also a little creepy at the same time. I leant into the idea of being so obsessed with someone that you want them to be everywhere and everything, good and bad. It’s a satirical song but also a love song”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrout is the creative alias of 23 year old Cesca - who spent their childhood years growing up in Copenhagen, born to an Iranian father and British mother. Their early musical memories are of sibling rivalries played out to the soundtracks of the Gipsy Kings and a worn out Suzanne Vega tape which emboldened their early love of songwriting. On turning nine however, they found themselves suddenly uprooted, relocating with their family to a country they’d never even heard of - Wales. The teething problems which hallmarked such a shift in Trout’s psychogeography were compounded further by the prospect of learning a third language. Arriving in a “particularly Welsh part of Wales,” they had to quickly learn the Welsh language - an ability Trout now carries proudly. With their adolescence framed by green hills in the East and the Irish Sea to the West, growing up in rural Wales nurtured Trout’s reverence for nature and water, an inextricable part of their identity which has manifested in their passion for sustainability, and is reflected back in their artist moniker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite favouring the freedom of art class over the more rigid music syllabus at high school, after graduating Trout headed for the border, relocating to Liverpool to study music at LIPA. \u003cbr\u003eWhilst Trout reflects that it was Liverpool city itself and the community they found there which had the most significant impact on the course of their creativity, they credit their education with developing their interest in music production. Having previously dismissed this side of things as a dry, technical process, Trout credits a particular professor with shifting their perceptions to the craft - encouraging them to approach it as a style and creative outlet of its own. After mastering basic production software, Trout quickly realised that they were suited to the medium in a surprising way - having discovered several years earlier that their hyper-visual and aural response to music wasn’t the norm (and was in fact synesthesia). Trout began to employ this as their “sixth sense” relying on their instinct to understand where their songs needed embellishment or reigning in, and the Colourpicker EP is named in honour of this. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis holistic approach to their craft is rarified on Colourpicker, which Trout elucidates as a collection of which reflect the “to-and fro-ing of many thoughts I was having at the time.” Tracks like ‘words’ and ‘bugs’ capture the feeling of being trapped in a state of unwilling inertia, the latter envying the productivity of the insects outside their bedroom. ‘garden’ builds on this theme, unpacking the temptation for codependency, whilst ‘gutter’ and ‘sad sad sad sad sad’ are written “from a stronger place,” namely the bittersweet defiance of having your emotions and experiences doubted by someone close to you. Across the EP’s six tracks, it becomes abundantly lucid that Trout is the kind of artist with the innate power to make you feel like you’re living their highs and lows in real time. Their influences are therefore unsurprising, but by no means insignificant - with Trout nodding specifically to the poetic songwriting genius of Adrianne Lenker, the layered vocals of Warpaint, and Sorry’s seamless blend of post-punk with idiosyncratic electronic flourishes. Carrying an undeniable charm and arriving in earnest, Colourpicker is set to be a striking first declaration from Trout, promising plenty more to come from this compelling new talent. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRESS\/ONLINE: \"An indie rock masterclass\" Wonderland\u003cbr\u003e\"‘Gutter’ is an enchanting introduction, an alt-pop hymn fuelled by a neat line in self-deprecation.\" Clash\u003cbr\u003e\"Modern alternative meets 90’s grunge where electronic and bedroom-pop sounds also rear their head.

Along with new focus track ‘YOUAREYOUARE’, the EP includes previous singles ‘HEARTBREAKERS’, ‘Is It Cool 2 Be Friends?’ and ‘HOMEWRECKER’, as well as brand new song ‘SAD GUY GEMINI’.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e CRUSHED! is the culmination of a year’s worth of work, and builds on Cole’s streak of instantly catchy and meticulously crafted pop songs that are destined to be scream-along anthems. Incorporating threads of pop, emo and indie, CRUSHED! is a mark of Cole’s continued growth as  a songwriter and producer, and is a brilliant and bold offering from an artist who continues to go from strength to strength as one of the most exciting young popstars in the UK. “I think of CRUSHED like it’s my diary. I took relationships and experiences I’ve had in the past and literally felt crushed every time I’d think about each scenario. Each song helped me get through unresolved trauma over sour relationships. As I wrote these songs in early 2022, each step of making these songs come to life has helped me overcome each unwanted memory in a different way. We recorded them in September, and having to revisit them so confidently knowing they would be out for the world to see was a whole other obstacle needing facing. But I know that I don't ever want to put music out unless it feels like you’re reading my diary. It’s where I am most authentic and vulnerable, and I wouldn't want you to see me any other way”.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e So far the tracks on CRUSHED! have received support across BBCR1 from Jack Saunders, Maia Beth and Mollie King, as well as Dork, DIY, Clash, Line of Best Fit, and reintroduced fans to a brand new era of Cole’s signature bittersweet bops. Cole played the whole EP as well as songs from her previous outfit The Let Go last weekend at The Great Escape, with Dork describing the set as “pure pop wizardry… Everything about this new era of Cole Bleu feels comfortable and deliberate.” Next, Cole will play BST Hyde Park in support of P!NK on June 24th, and will play the BBC Introducing Stage at this year’s Reading Festival.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As well as being an exceptional artist, Cole has developed a close collaboration with Junkmail Worldwide, conceptualising and directing all of Cole’s videos together, including the amazing video for ‘Is It Cool 2 Be Friends?’, which sees Cole attend a tumultuous and drama-filled costume party playing multiple characters - both the protagonist dressed as Velma from Scooby Doo before recreating Sandy’s iconic makeover from Grease!, and the rival love interest (appropriately dressed as Regina from Mean Girls)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003e 1.

Written in Saul’s bedroom, the EP is a retrospective insight into the young band’s journey so far as they tie up their teenage years. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A coming of age saga, the EP acts as a vehicle for Saul to dive into the psyche behind emotional evolution, and to unpack the complexities of maturity and the ability to say goodbye to the past. These themes present themselves not only in the songs, but right down to the title of the EP itself - which refers to the fact that the left side of the brain is responsible for comprehension. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Summarising the EP, Saul says: “It’s the closest we have been to knowing what picture we want to paint. It’s another window into the musical space we wish to explore, yet I think we’re closer to having our sound. I think the project signifies the end of a section in our lives, moving out from the haze of the moment and reflecting on our teenage years and all its chaos with more understanding.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e L’objectif have drawn instant acclaim across their two EPs to date with support coming from key tastemakers at 6 Music (where previous single ‘Feeling Down’ was daytime playlisted after being premiered by the station’s Steve Lamacq) such as Amy Lamé, Tom Robinson, and of course Iggy Pop, BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders (who made the band his Next Wave featured artist and featured ‘Burn Me Out’ and ‘Do It Again’ as Daily Delivery) and Gemma Bradley, Radio X’s John Kennedy, Apple Music 1’s Matt Wilkinson, and Australian national broadcaster triple j.
