Alfah Femmes: No Drama, No Disco – video of the day
Today’s video of the day comes from Poland’s Alfah Femmes, who offer ‘No Disco, No Drama’ – out today.
Alfah Femmes are a 6-piece band from Gdansk, Poland, featuring leading women (vocals, guitar, cello) and four men (remaining instruments). They say:
“The song tackles the subject of reminiscence, regret, and being stuck in limbo out of fear of exploring a romantic situation.”
The music video is partly edited out of private VHS footage from 17 years ago.
Their LP ‘No Need to Die’ is due to release 21 Oct 2020.

Vaeda Black x Saverio: Cigs – track of the day
Today’s track of the day is ‘Cigs’ – a collaboration between Brooklyn artists Vaeda Black and Saverio, out today. Written, produced and recorded in one late night over Facetime during quarantine. Home early from their college music production program in Brooklyn, they decided to collaborate and sent files back and forth to each other, adding their own styles to the project. The outcome is cigs, a song about young love, heartbreak, and apathy in the aftermath of a breakup.
