Hana Vu may still be unable to legally drink in her home state, but she’s already nailed quite a few life goals... Released her first EP while finishing up high school? Check. Collaborated with Willow Smith? Yep. Played shows alongside the likes of Soccer Mommy, Phantogram and Nilüfer Yanya? You betcha. And things are only gonna get bigger for her, if her gorgeous new EP - an excellently-titled range of rich bedroom pop - is anything to go by. Listen: ‘Nicole Kidman / Anne Hathaway’. Similar to: A dreamy session of binge-watching your favourite rom coms.

Every week on Spotify, we update DIY’s Neu Discoveries playlist with the buzziest, freshest faces. Here’s our pick of the best new tracks:
IT’S A(NOTHER) DIRTY HIT! Two years on from the first Dirty Hit tour, they’re at it again: next month newbies Beabadoobee, No Rome and Oscar Lang will be wowing the crowds across the country, culminating in a special show at London’s Dome. Things kick off in Cambridge on 26th November.
GIA FORD ‘Girl’ Spearheaded by her ethereal vocals, Gia Ford’s newest offering is a slow-burning sizzler, with pulsating 80s-esque beats and mesmerising pop tones. BIIG PIIG ‘Roses and Gold’ A neo-soul number which explores our “obsession with the unattainable” (and sung in both English and Spanish), ‘Roses and Gold’ is a warmly intimate song driven by Jess’ hazy vocals, and an exciting glimpse into the new EP she’s currently working on.
To The Dry Cleaners With their EP ‘Boundary Snacks and Drinks’ now out in the open, London post-punks Dry Cleaning have also announced a 2020 UK headline tour. Check out the full dates on diymag.com now.
Alfie Templeman ‘Used To Love’ Already with two EPs under his belt, the rising songwriter is back with a new bop: a smooth laid-back track, blending Alfie’s hip-hop and indie influences, it’s yet more proof of why he’s considered as one of indie’s shiniest new stars. TALK SHOW ‘Ankle Deep (In A Warm Glass of Water)’
All Apologies Londoners Sorry have - finally! announced details of their debut album. ‘925’ will be released next Spring, and will feature brand new track ‘Right Around The Clock’. They’re also heading on the road this month, beginning in Bristol on 13th November. Find full details on diymag.com.
After bursting out with their raucous post-punk debut ‘Fast & Loud’ earlier this year, Talk Show are once again proving why you shouldn’t be sleeping on them. The quartet’s offering sees them combine their biting post-punk stylings with Western influences and romantic introspection. Not too shabby.
