New Music: Karl S Williams - Is This Love [Premiere] + BTS Photo Exclusive
A new single, Bluesfest shows, national tour, music video feat. Thelma Plum and more.. Guitar slinging, banjo-wielding man of impeccable hirsuteness, Karl S Williams is kicking 2015 off with a massive heap of news, which we're gonna do the best we can in wrapping up in this post. After a barnstorming 2014 that saw a record deal with Warner's indie imprint Footstomp Music which lead to the release of his debut album, two national headline tours, wowing punters and industry alike at BigSOUND and CMJ Music Marathon and more, he's grabbing this year by the horns with a new single, a new video clip featuring Thelma Plum, and a heap of huge shows. He'll be joining uber-chiller Donavon Frankenreiter as part of his Bluesfest sideshow on April 16 at The Triffid, before embarking on an national tour of his own to celebrate new single Is this Love, with a video on the way featuring leading lady Thelma Plum.  You can stream Is This Love below, which was mixed by legendary producer Victor Van Vugt,

New Music: Kodak to Graph – Los Angeles
Found-sound producer Kodak To Graph gives us the first sounds from his debut album.. Florida producer Kodak to Graph aka Michael Maleki, has been getting busy lately. The 23-year-old, who recently announced his massive Break The Ice tour of the US alongside producer buddies Big Wild and OBESON, has just released a new single, Los Angeles. Kodak to Graph found success in 2014 through his consistent release of remixes, such as his remix of Doja Cat’s So High.  The texture-heavy track makes great use of found sound, along with some neat vocal samples and percussive elements. Maleki, who moved to LA during the writing of his new album, told FADER recently that the new single is a “collision of the still and quiet of Florida and the noise and static of downtown LA”. Los Angeles is the first taste of Maleki’s upcoming debut album ISA, which has been set a release date of March 10th. You can listen to the track below, along with the Doja Cat remix.  FACEBOOK / TWITTER / SOUNDCLOUD
