Tracklist
1 . Sigur Rós – Ylur |
| Jónsi’s soaring falsetto achieves operatic heights in “Ylur” (Warmth). The blend of strings, electronics, and rich reverb creates an ambiance where acoustic and electronic instruments are indistinguishable. Like the rest of the album ÁTTA, it features the London Contemporary Orchestra, led by Robert Ames, and brass from Brassgat í bala. The video is directed by Sophie Hunter. |

With unexpected lyrical twists and a relentless bass, the track blends seductive sounds with club beats, and its video, directed by Ribal Hosn and Kurt Johnson, features COBRAH in high fashion, including S&M-inspired outfits in a stark white room. |

‘Better run, run, run – you bettеr run, run, run’

The music video, directed by PR Brown, symbolically portrays Hansen’s brutality using baking imagery. |

| The UK trio HotWax’s dynamic new single “Drop,” mixed by Alan Moulder, features a vibrant UFO-themed music video directed by Josh Quinton. With his DIY spirit, Quinton aimed to capture the song’s energy by blending the band’s style with his passion for 70s B movies and 90s children’s TV. |

9 . Ashnikko – Cheerleader |
‘Who do I have to kill to make everybody love me?’
|
| Ashnikko’s latest single, “Cheerleader,” critiques modern beauty standards by contrasting the idealized image of a cheerleader with violent visuals. Depicting a cult-like cheer, Ashnikko leads a squad, and the video, directed by Joanna Nordahl, blends folklore and surrealism, reminiscent of films like “Midsommar” and “Bring It On.” |

‘I only need the workin’ of my hands’

Inspired by “Emo Shameless” and “St Trinians on Acid,” the video captures Yungblud’s schooldays and his embrace of his unique, misfit nature. |

NB . You may wonder what are these “Quotes” attached to certain photos above. Well! For a specific song, we select a still image from the video on one side and choose a lyric from the song on the other side. We ensure that the lyric has a connection to the image, although sometimes the connection may be far-fetched or based on a double entendre, creating a humorous or meme-like combination when the two are merged together. Et voilà!
