This visit to the Singles Bar brings some great music, ranging from a 90s influenced alternative pop tune, to a strange slice of prog that sounds like it should score a folk horror film, to a brilliant soul tune with a timeless quality and even a hard electronica number that marks the pinnacle of work from cult act. You’ll find a couple of names making their return to the SB this time around, but the selections are anything but predictable! As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy!
