Interview // Wet Nuns
It’s day 1 of SXSW and I’m sat in the sun on a curb sandwiched between two Wet Nuns. It’s their first time over in America and it all seems pretty surreal. They played in New York before heading over to Austin but admit that it’s “only now that it all seems real. It’s...

Earlier this year Sun Glitters released his EP, High, and everyone went a little bit crazy over it. Quite rightly so as it is still one of my favourite EPs of your year; a menage of glitchy chilled out beats, warped vocals and reverbing bass. Here’s what happened when I caught up with him for...
