The exuberant joy in “The Jellyfish” is infectious and beautifully expressed in the accompanying music video. “The Jellyfish” is the latest exciting offering by Brighton-based prog-rock band Azure. We love the throw-back 70s vibe of the track, including gorgeous power vocals, rad guitar solos, and playful synths work. Think Peter Gabriel, Nick Kershaw, Saga, and the likes in an updated, contemporary setting. Glorious!

We asked frontman, Christopher Sampson, whether he could provide us with some insight into their latest single. Chris says:

Keeping it concise, ‘The Jellyfish’ is a love-letter to all the disenfranchised art students who might have left home full of ambitions, seeking independence, only to find themselves questioning everything, and losing sight of their dreams. We’ve all felt it at some point, and now that those fears are in the past for us as a band, we found it really therapeutic to cram all those old worries into a compact, fun pop song, taking influence from all the local pop and indie bands that provided the soundtrack for those weird years!

Aside from Chris, Azure is comprised of Galen Stapley (guitar), Alex Miles (bass), Sol Sinclair (drums), and Shaz Dudhia (keyboards).

Polly - Eyes on the Road

Danish pop singer/songwriter Polly delights with the bright and beautiful "Eyes on the Road." I am pretty sure we all had a moment like the one Polly describes yet not everybody creates a brilliant song or the likes. "Eyes on the Road" sparkles and gives

Oklou - family and friends

Marylou Mayniel has been making music in Paris under the name Oklou since 2024. Her first solo single since 2020, “family and Friends,” is a beautifully restrained, ethereal synth-pop track that eschews drums or percussion for the most part. Listen to our Song Pick of the Day on your favorite

Carla Aakre - watercolour

When I listened to "watercolour," the new song by Finnish singer/songwriter Carla Aakre, I loved it from the spot. With its warm, fuzzy feeling, it reminded me of the beautiful quality of British singer/songwriter Fenne Lilly, whom Oliver and I are huge fans of. Of course,
