ROUGH Best Music Of The Week #61

Issermann – ‘Sad + Boring’

Following on from the release of his debut single ‘Throated’ earlier this year, which is still racking in the streams around the world, London-based artist Issermann is looking to continue his upward ascent as he shares his latest offering ‘Sad + Boring’. Bringing back those same soothing vocals with a hard and impactful production, his new release cements him as a true visionary for bold and interesting compositions.

After forming back in 2017, New York City-based duo Presidio have always looked to bring a raw and uncompromising feeling of haziness to their work, and now they return with their latest effort ‘Unwind’. Taken from their highly anticipated debut EP ‘Telepathy’, the pair combine dreamy lo-fi aesthetics with a rich and textured atmosphere, creating a bold and captivating vision for their initial collection.

With the release of her earlier single ‘Slow Burn’ since maintaining its place across dozens of new music playlists to date, Nomadic artists Llynks showcases her debut album ‘Patterns Through Seams’ with the record’s title-track. Bringing together a blend of soaring synths and her own otherworldly vocals, she delivers a truly dark and atmospheric return that no one else could possibly emulate.

Having spent the last few years as part of outfits such as Navar and The Barry Brothers Band, singer and songwriter Patrick Barry now looks to showcase himself as a solo performer with his new single ‘Coffee In The Morning’. Blending indie-rock aesthetics with a hint of country music, his latest work brings together a wealth of musical experiences that he has been producing for the last twenty years.

After sharing his brilliant cut ‘Life Don’t Stress Me’ earlier this year, London-based singer and producer Aaron London looks to bring us more of that woozy feeling with his new release ‘Think Big’. Taking cues from numerous musical endeavours like funk, psych-pop and RnB, his newest jam is a heady mix of groove-filled basslines and sensually performed vocals that are simply irresistible.
