LAVENDINE Dive Deep With Their New Album ‘Deep Blue’

LAVENDINE’s new album, ‘Deep Blue’ signifies the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. When you’re in the deep end, where your feet no longer touch the ocean floor, you loose all sense of control – but somehow, faith kicks in and you confidently go with the flow, guiding through any obstacles that life presents.

Acclaimed producer Mark Needham – who has worked with The Killers, Fleetwood Mac, Imagine Dragons – helped bring Lavendine’s vision to life. He shaped the evolving facets of their indie rock identity into a submerged, immersive soundscape that feels dark but somehow filled with optimism. This tension is particularly evident in ‘Waterless Cloud’ and ‘I Won’t Love You’, which both celebrate the liberation that comes with breaking free from toxic, damaging relationships. Meanwhile, ‘Diamonds in the Sky’ offers a sense of uplift, chronicling the empowerment that comes from letting go of the past and reaching for a brighter future.

Though Lavendine—made up of sisters Jacy and Jana Ayers—have already cemented their place in the U.S. Adult Contemporary scene with three Top 25 singles on the Mediabase and Billboard AC charts (‘Rapture,’ ‘Open Up a Window,’ and ‘Here to You’), ‘Deep Blue’ may be their most vulnerable and unfiltered work yet. The album captures the highs and lows that have shaped them, inviting listeners to step into their world and connect with the experiences that helped forge their strength.

‘Deep Blue’ is now available on all major music platforms. Dive in and experience their world below…

Must listens: City Lights, I Won’t Love You, Diamonds In The Sky,

    Song of the Day: Bloodbath – Wild Oceans

    Jon Burnell (vocals and guitar), Mark Lee (bass and keys), Phil Thomas (lead guitar) and Steve Fuller (drums) – aka – WILD OCEANS certainly live up to their name.

    Their debut single, ‘Bloodbath’ takes you by surprise, introducing raging guitar riffs that can easily wake the dead; it momentarily makes way for melodic verses, before erupting at the chorus and towards the end – and there’s a reason behind that. The eruptive riffs mirrors the sheer frustration of holding on to a deceitful lover who refuses to change, despite countless chances.

    Though this is their debut as Wild Oceans, the South-West alt-rock quartet are no strangers to the stage. Between them, they’ve toured extensively across the UK, Europe, and the US, supporting major acts including 3 Doors Down, The Rifles, Infadels, and Pop Evil.

    With tour dates lined up throughout 2025 and early 2026, Wild Oceans are bringing the noise to venues across the UK — and ‘Bloodbath’ is just the beginning.

    From the moment you press play, one thing’s clear: Wild Oceans are not here to whisper. Dive in below…

    Song of the Day: Who Cares If I’m Alone – Lavendine

    With brooding, reverb-soaked guitar riffs ripping through delicate — almost ghostlike — backdrops, sisters Jacy and Jana Ayers, aka LAVENDINE, deliver a haunting first impression on their latest single, ‘Who Cares If I’m Alone.’ At first listen, it might feel like a slow descent into darkness. But underneath the weight and mood is something tougher — a raw, defiant message of resilience. This isn’t a cry for help; it’s a declaration. A quiet storm that finds strength — and even peace — in standing alone.

    Born from betrayal and hardened by perseverance, “Who Cares If I’m Alone” is a bold refusal to settle — for silence, for dependence, or for anything less than one’s truth. It’s a rallying cry for those who’ve been let down and left behind, yet still choose to rise.

    Brought vividly to life by Grammy-nominated producer Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Stevie Nicks), the single is infused with a gritty, unapologetic rock edge that amplifies its emotional intensity. The production captures a defining chapter in Lavendine’s journey — marked by isolation and setbacks, but also by a newfound determination to carve out their own path. It’s in this space — where fear meets clarity — that Lavendine discovers peace. ‘Who Cares If I’m Alone’ isn’t just a song; it’s a realization: you don’t need a crowd to find your purpose, and there’s strength in going it alone, no matter how daunting the path may seem.

    A heartfelt cry to embrace solitude and find strength within it ‘Who Cares If I’m Alone’ – now available across all leading streaming platforms – serves as a exciting teaser to the duo’s forthcoming EP ‘Deep Blue’.

    OUT TODAY: Sleepy Days share nostalgic single, ‘Night Owl’

    Hailing from Dublin, indie rock band SLEEPY DAYS came to fruition after an act of kindness: whilst studying at BIMM Dublin (Dublin Music college), the quartet quickly rallied into the college’s recording studio, to rescue a mutual friend’s final assignment.

    From that moment, Conor Dwyer (lead vocals & rhythm guitar), Michael O’Kane (lead guitar & backing vocals), Alex Ganje (bass) and Aaron Lacumber (drums), realised they had immediate chemistry and, as the saying goes, the rest was history. From that undeniable bond, Sleepy Days has conjured their trademark that takes inspiration from Japanese rock, synth pop and surf rock and perhaps a hint of shoegaze.

    Their new single,’Night Owl’ immediately transports you back to the late eighties/early nineties when shoegaze was at its best. With reverbing guitar riffs and hypnotic rhythms, ‘Night Owl’ reflects lead vocalist Conor Dwyer’s struggle to transition from the nocturnal life of the college days into the early starts in the real working world.

    With the ahead on, brash arrangements, perfectly reflecting the dreaded changeover, this single should be an ode to any soon-to-be graduates who are anxious about to that major life leap.

    ‘Night Owl’ is out today (21st February) across various music platforms. To commemorate the release of the single, the guys are headlining a show in The Workman’s Club Main Room, Dublin, hosted by Ex-Oh Promotions, on Friday, 7th March.
