CHILDCARE drop ‘Sugarcane’ music video

London’s premier softcore-psych quartet CHILDCARE share music video for  ‘Sugarcane’ as part of their Wabi-Sabi debut album released last month.

A chime and they’re off. The new the single from CHILDCARE, is a slinky number you wouldn’t dare take home to your mother for fear of a serious grounding.

The reggaeton inspired Sugarcane sings of an ill lit and lurid relationship, a juxtaposed piece of darkness in the otherwise wellness-centred ‘Wabi-Sabi’ album.

Singer Ed Cares said: “‘Sugarcane’ is one of the few modern songs to reference one of my favourite American-Chinese dishes – the almighty Ciao Mein, Sugarcane is about exploring a more delicious, greasier version of yourself.”

The video is directed by Maxim Kelly (FEWS, Palace, Zola Blood) who added: “I’ve been chronicling the life-altering work that CHILDCARE and their Get Well Soon program do. Therefore, I came to the project as an experienced advocate of the system.

“CHILDCARE contacted me for the footage I had filmed and we re-edited it collectively. We focused primarily on the spinning and circular rotation work since we agreed this was the most profound and visual facet of the work. What you’re seeing unfold is the movement identified with all matter from the vastest galaxy to the teeniest atom.”

The full 13-track Wabi-Sabi album takes the listener on a self-healing quest of discovery; from dosings of Dr Dre in ‘Omega Grey’ and cross-dressing experimentation in ‘Getting Over You’, to psychedelic freak-out ‘Champagne Brain’. This is what healing guitar music should sound like; fresh, escapist and with just a hint of the transcendental.

The CHILDCARE ‘Wabi-Sabi’ album was released on May 31st via Get Well Soon. The Band will perform a series of headline shows and festivals throughout 2019 including Latitude, Reading and Leeds – more below.

Apostles make rousing and melodic indie pop-rock

Relishing in shimmering indie rock, North-West band Apostles are a bundle of shiny melodic pop and nostalgic summer vibes. Returning with new single ‘Sixteen’ the Wigan-based five-piece is a soaring, button-bright, indie-pop masterpiece aimed to throw you back to those glorious summer days. Harbouring an air of swagger, the song’s twisting riffs and evoking lyrics as the band say it’s “reminiscing over good times with someone when you’re going through a tough patch with that very same person”, its sentiment familiar to many of us, and just another reason why Apostles’ own brand of indie is as resonant as it
