Blind? Strong? What is Lucid Love? Diving into synth pop retro world, Welsh newcomers Siula brings euphoric rhythms to life.

Iqra Malik vocals pops in our ears, like an obsessive beat and warms our heart. Romantic as hell, the ethereal soundscape Lucid Love brings a vibrant flow to life. Love is an emotion that grows, from little things to some bigger embracing wave and the songs become so addictive with the pop hooks that reminisce from the likes of Robyn to The Cocteau Twins.

Siula plays their sonic creativity game strong, showing musically that vulnerable melodies can mix perfectly in a solid synth crescendo. The track envelops the surroundings with its pure and magical harmonies. Love is all you need especially with the Cardiff duo sense of poetry.

Dublin trio’s Hook knows how to create addictive sounds and they proved it again on their latest single The Drugs Are Working. Alongside dreamy guitar riffs, shoegaze influences and cradling melodies, the band mesmerise us with their emotive lyrics and both electric and acoustic versions.

We’re always searching for a better place, get into a better situation and Hook track is the marvellous comfort song we all need right now. The Drugs Are Working is a road trip back to the 80s with shiny beats. The guitar slides and the drums dips into melodic shambles and we are also can’t get enough of the acoustic version.

The acoustic version brings ahead the intricate instrumentation and the emotive side even more. Blending genres in between Teenage Fanclub and The Pixies, the song takes elements from grunge, lo-fi and indie rock gems, full of nostalgia. B-side Walk On Me ventures into a power 90s ballad with brutally honest vocals with some Nirvana-es que aesthetic that we can blast out loud all day.
