Single of the week is going K-Indie (Well, we have K-pop, can we make K-indie a thing?) this week…

Single of the Week: Balming Tiger – Wash Away

Balming Tiger are a genre hopping alternative music collective from South Korea active since 2018. They will be at Reading Festival and should be well worth a look. This is an absolute Summer vibes single that probably should have come out in July, let it blow away the Winter gloom with its up-tempo goodness.

Another month, another high quality Rachel Chinouriri collab. sombr is a New Yorker relocated to California racking up major streams across a number of recent singles.
