Silver Torches: The Living Fact

Who are we carrying a torch for? Why, it’s none other than the new act – Silver Torches! A project by songwriter Erik Walters, Silver Torches releases its debut album The Living Fact, and it’s one of the season’s bests so far.

Sniper Shooter

Sniper Shooter from Fun Games for Free is just a tiny bit similar to what you have seen in other iOS and Android games, but it also comes with its own identity bringing you a lot fun. You of course play a sniper and you have to finish several missions to become a master of your craft. By simply tilting your device you can aim and shoot your targets, so it’s easy to pick up.

Lili K: My Favorite Things

Want us to name some of our favourite things? Well, we got one: it’s Lili K.’s newest EP – My Favorite Things. 22-year-old Lili K. has been making waves in the Chicago music scene with her unique flair of music, which she wittily dubs as ‘neo-soul’. True to her word, her smooth vocals hearken to the days of Ashanti’s “Unfoolish”, fusing them with catchy hip-hop beats.

VS. Racing

Vs. Racing brings arcade racing to the iOS. Developed by Maciek Drejak Labs, it’s got some real smooth graphics, and the gameplay is easy to pick up. It’s a fun racer that you can play over and over. While there are plenty of twists and turns, the fact that it’s an overhead racer makes this quite easy.

Siblings: My Brother

What an apt move for a band of ‘Siblings’ to make an EP about ‘brothers’? Well, excuse the pun, but seriously, the newcomer British quartet makes blood relations sound cool in last year’s My Brother EP. Though only containing three radio-sized tracks, each one is jam-packed with that ambient folk vibe which haunts their influences, such as Bon Iver and The Shins.
