Episode 52 Hi and welcome to episode 52 where I play The Forensics, Frances Murray, Youth Killed It, and Lea G.
The Forensics – Not Giving Up
We kick off episode 52 with The Forensics and Not Giving Up. We loved this tune, although it did a couple of things that confused us a little. That said, it is a cracking way to start the show. You can find them here: Facebook Instagram
Frances Murray – Adults
Next up is the spectacular Frances Murray with Adults. This is a beautiful song and one that really stood out for us. Here is what Frances says about it:
“Adults” is the soundtrack to my quarter life crisis. I wrote it during the lead up to my 25th birthday. We actually recorded the album May 2024 and some of the guitars were tracked on my actual birthday. Learning who I want to be in the world and how I want to shape my life has been fun, challenging and everything in between. This song really speaks to that. I love the playfulness and silliness of this song. It is one of my favourites on the album.

Youth Killed It – AI Killer
Youth Killed It rocked our socks off with their latest offering AI Killer. This is what they say about the track:
“AI Killer” is a witty, anxious, and strangely heartfelt acoustic track that leans into the cultural panic around artificial intelligence, job loss, and creative identity. Written with tongue firmly in cheek, the song blends dry humour with genuine unease, capturing the strange moment we are living through, where technology is both a miracle and an existential threat. Built around stripped back acoustic guitar and a nod to the raw, melodic energy of early Youth Killed It, the track feels deliberately human. It is vulnerable, slightly scrappy, and emotionally direct, a conscious contrast to the cold efficiency of the technology it is singing about. Lyrically, “AI Killer” explores the fear of being replaced, the fragility of creative identity, and the surreal reality of competing with algorithms. Despite its dystopian themes, there is warmth running through the track, making it oddly comforting as well as funny and uneasy.
Their website is a must visit, even if it is just for the front page video: https://www.youthkilledit.com/
Lea G – Stranger
Lea G closes out episode 52 with Stranger. Ok, we love Lea. If you need a reason why, just listen to this amazing track and make sure you are wearing your best headphones. Her stunning website is here: https://www.lea-g-music.com/
And there you have it, episode 52. I have been getting a lot of new music sent to me, so expect more amazing brand new music from bands you may never have heard of next week. I also did a race today. A 5k in the New Forest. Lovely it was. I even got a medal.
