TEACH ME ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE.

We first premiered Swiss Lips almost a year ago to the day, but it's been time well spent, as the Manchester boys have seriously grown into themselves as they ready their debut album for release on Sony Epic in the UK next year. New single "Carolyn" already sounds like Strange Talk on a future kick, tearing down the pop freeway like Speed Racer with the brakes cut. Each refrain is an effortless finish line that pampers you with bejeweled synths, oh-oh vox, and the perfect getaway from the quotidian. Best of all, it's just the tip of the iceberg if some of the other tracks that have found their way to us through the grapevine are any indication. Now these are some Swiss beats we can fuck with.

STRAIGHT TO YR HEART.

INK are a new London duo making a technicolor splash with their vibrant time-bending pop. Debut single "Ink Goes On" first brought our speakers to life a few months ago via All Things Go, and today ATG are back with a brand new exclusive from the UK newcomers. Picking up where the promise of "Ink Goes On" left off, they've taken an already caramel-smooth 80's pop tune - Twin Shadow's "Five Seconds" - and dunked it in a sugar-dusted '90s glaze of Sixpence None the Richer and The Cranberries, mixed with a pinch of Pains of Being Pure At Heart to make the pace. Pop this in and you've got a VHS daydream on fast forward.
