It’s a kind and soft return to work for Unis Son, with a reset and the first playlist of the week of 2024, made of future obsessions. Happy New Year!
It all opens on the intriguing Skeleton by Reverie. With a hushed voice, curious atmosphere, and wild riffs, it’s a clear round for the British artist through the opening track of her album Red Little Hipster. Never Have I Ever by Patient invites us to join the band in an anthemic rock song made of fear and courage. Comes in the amazing Queen Bitch with her catchy tune Bones. And it’s an instant favourite for the Dubliner artist, to keep on your radar.
A short instant of clear pop with Jump In by The Upsides, pretty chill and optimistic. It’s a perfect way to start January, really. But if you prefer something darker, don’t worry, I got you. The Horse and Locomotive too, with the suspicious Holding where Sarah White’s vocals seem to emerge from a thriller. It’s another instant favourite for me. The fun Gad Zukes are following with the upbeat Static in the Attic. The technical and raw rock of Only One by Wilderman has hypnotized me. Carnivores by The Exchange Project, on the other hand, woke me up without a warning.
For a touch of contrasting pop, Chloe Star gets Happy Place out, with a touch of nostalgia in the riffs and powerful vocals. As powerful, the Whisky Stain comes in with the gritty Do What You Came For. The hyperactive Yaya Mind by Mikki Wood is the invite I need for a mosh-pit, intense, up until its dreamy outro. The playlist of the week ends with the calm and also dreamy I Hit LA by Seb Owens and Lys Lourdes, and it feels like the end of the holidays.
