Best new songs of the week - Stormzy, Sam Lee, The Soundcarriers...

Annie Hart

It's a standard now to have Brooklyn Vegan making the best selection on new songs. This week they're not all great, but some do stand out. This week it's: Stormzy with his "hardest, darkest, and most booming" song 'Audacity'; Sam Lee's 'The Moon Shines Bright' with Celtic vibe and Elisabeth Fraser on vocals (below); The Soundcarriers covered 'The Seventh Seal' by Scott Walker "like a ’60s beat group might"; Yumi Zouma have a "dancefloor anthem ['Right Track /Wrong Man'] to the confusion of living through your twenties”; Godthrymm is a new band from members of My Dying Bride and Anathema, playing doom goth-metal on 'Among the Exalted'; Annie Hart is worried about climate change in 'Longing to Care Less'.
