New Music Update- July

Posted: Wednesday 4 July 2012

This month on Glasgow Music City Radio we have lots of exciting new tracks to talk about. But before we begin with this month's music update we would like to take this opportunity to say a huge congratulations to Aiden Moffatt and Bill Wells. They won the prestigious  Scottish Album of the Year 2012 for their brilliant collaboration on "Everything's Getting Older" which is available on iTunes now. 

Now, onto this month's new music in Glasgow. We have received a host of new tracks from our friends down at Herb Recordings, an independant record label based in Glasgow specialising in innovative, contemporary music of varying styles. The first album "Pop Goes the People" is the new album from the alternative pop artist Myheadisaballoon. The album will be available on the 1st of August but in the meantime you can download the track "Honey" for free via the Myheadisaballoon website.

 The next album "Weaving Spiders" is the latest release from experimental musician Craig Murphy under the alias Solipsism. The album is both dark and thought provoking which you can hear in their preview track "Eyrie" available on bandcamp. The album will be released on October 1st but you can hear it now along with Myheadisaballoon on Glasgow Music City Radio every Thursday morning from 7-8am.

We also have a few tracks on our New Glasgow Music playlist from bands Minor Delilah, The NK Jays, John Wean and Olympic Swimmers. All of whom will be playing at this years King Tuts Summer Nights Festival. The festival is taking place for the third year in a row and features just some of the up and coming talent in Scotland right now. It starts on the 12th of July and runs right through to the 26th.

And finally we have three new tracks featuring in our New Glasgow Music playlist from unsigned artists, Kick to Kill, Get Effect and Owls in Antarctica. Its always great to hear new music and we love giving unsigned bands and artists the opportunity to hear their tracks on the radio. If you have any music you would like us to listen to and be heard on our station send us your tracks via our SoundCloud dropbox. This playlist is available Monday to Friday on Glasgow Music City Radio.
