Played: 2026-07-09 (TikTok)
London trio (Saya Barbaglia, Clari Freeman-Taylor, David Addison) building a name on tense, unpredictable art-rock. "New Muscles" was the third preview single from their debut album Role Model Hermit (AMF Records, released 3 July 2026). Originally written on accordion; the band describe it as being "about David joining a gym" — clattering percussion and half-rapped, boastful lyrics over cello that gives way to propulsive bass. Opens the show on a strange, wired energy.

Played: 2026-07-09 (Daily Music Report)
Second mary in the junkyard entry, also from Role Model Hermit. "Blood" is an earlier single than "New Muscles" and "Mouse," part of the band's steady rollout ahead of the album, and served as a final preview of the album pairing spiralling guitars with intricate, emotionally charged instrumentation to capture the rush and vulnerability of newfound love. Placing it opposite "New Muscles" lets the same band bookend a stretch of the show with two different sides of their sound.
