FRIDAY DINGERS - 29.05.26

Scout Paré-Phillips - 'Claw'

New York singer-songwriter Scout Paré-Phillips delivers one of her most emotionally raw statements yet with ‘Claw’, the powerful lead single from her forthcoming album ‘Lupine Daughter’. Known previously for her work in The Sterling Sisters and collaborations with Jack White, Scout channels personal grief, illness, and resilience into a heavy, atmospheric composition built around baritone guitar, cello, pedal steel, and thunderous percussion, confronting mortality with striking urgency and unflinching honesty.

John Condit & The Comedown - 'Shooting Star'

Nashville psych-rock outfit John Condit & The Comedown make a striking first impression with ‘Shooting Star’, a slow-building and emotionally charged debut single steeped in atmosphere, texture, and raw psychedelic intensity. Led by veteran guitarist John Condit, known for his work with Lilly Hiatt and psych-rock outfit The Inscape, the project channels the expansive haze of The Verve and the volatile edge of The Brian Jonestown Massacre into a towering analogue-driven release that unfolds from delicate melancholy into waves of immersive fuzz and distortion.

REFLEKTA - ‘My Love’

Sydney-based outfit REFLEKTA return with ‘My Love’, an anthemic and emotionally charged lead single from their forthcoming debut album ‘Way Back Home’. Blending the soaring melodic swagger of Oasis with the explosive energy of Foo Fighters, the track captures the euphoric rush of late-night indie rock through driving guitars, towering hooks, and an unmistakable sense of celebration, setting the tone for a debut record rooted in connection, reflection, and modern emotional urgency.

SAMLOW - ‘Red Riot’

London-based artist SAMLOW continues his rise within the alt-rock and new-wave landscape with ‘Red Riot’, a bass-driven and emotionally charged single built on urgency, tension, and widescreen intensity. Produced by Gareth Young, whose credits include work with The xx and Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan, the track fuses melodic low-end architecture, stripped-back synth textures, and explosive choruses into a defiant statement against social stagnation and emotional disconnection.

Bernell Jones II - ‘1979’ ft. Julius Rodriguez

Bernell Jones II channels the spirit of late-night groove and jazz fusion on ‘1979’, a rich, synth-driven collaboration with keyboard virtuoso Julius Rodriguez. Inspired by ‘Off the Wall’ and shaped by smoky textures, disco-era warmth, and modern improvisation, the track sees the Memphis-born saxophonist transform nostalgia into something cinematic and contemporary, continuing his mission to bridge classic jazz musicianship with broader modern audiences.
