A song a day, every day. From brand new tunes to elderly classics. We don’t promise to be constrained by genre, but we promise to recommend brilliant music.
Bluesy, mellow, warm and delicious, ‘Feet on the Ceiling’ is a sexy telling of a carefree, mildly sadomasochistic affair (just a little light hair-pulling, nothing more). A couple waltz down the street into bed, golden air and light falling on…
Heg Doughty leads her lupine chorus with lyrics as clean and clear as crystal, producing multifarious, melodramatic folk songs. Strings and keys make for a lustrous, complex musical lanscape, home to a red-winged boy with avian aspirations and a dark heart.…
Yesterday’s song of the day showcased Just Handshakes’ progression from folksy openings to an altogether heavier beast, and its a path that has already been taken by Sparrow & The Workshop. Their latest single ‘Shock Shock’ comes on soundcloud with…
Just Handshakes, it seems, are on the move. And we’re not just taking the name of their latest single as a sign. The Leeds band look to have dropped the ‘(We’re British)’ part of their name for something less regionalistic…

Jack Burrell writes sincere and hauntingly beautiful music from his hometown in Cambridge, and contacted FFS a while ago with a bunch of his songs. We absolutely fell in love with what he’s done, and the song I’ve chosen of…
There’s a close link between science and music, something that can be proved scientifically using that following random sample: 1 Professor Brian Cox; 2 Sukh. If that isn’t statistically significant, FFS will hand back its PhD in advanced sciency things…
