“I will love you more every day / I can see no other way” sings Dani in our Song Pick of the Day, but the ominous bass line suggests that there is not a happy ending to this story. The singer from Vancouver, Canada reflects a personal experience in “Love U

VIDEO: Banks - Fuck with Myself

It’s good to have Banks back: she delivered one of our favorite albums in 2014 and we are more than eager to hear what she is up to now. This song is a great start and we’ll hear more in September, when her album drops.

SONG PICK: Black Heart - Shadows

A song “Shadows” from an album “All Is Lost” by a band Black Heart cannot be a happy affair and it isn’t: Austrian musician Corina Cinkl channels The Cure at their best for an intense ride into the dark. She has been making music in other bands and Black

SONG PICK: Dena - Lights, Camera, Action

Berlin-based singer and producer Dena knows how to do catchy, slightly quirky pop tracks. Her latest track “Lights, Camera, Action” is no exception, even though she moves away from the hip hop elements of her previous work. In “Lights, Camera, Action” she is casting roles for the movie of her

SONG PICK: Basement Revolver - Words

Basement Revolver is an indie rock three-piece from Hamilton, Ontario. “Words are just words are words are words,” sings Chrisy in a somewhat hopeless way. It certainly feels often like that, but in the grand scheme of things, it is the power of words that changes the world. Basement Revolver

SONG PICK: Brezy - Riptide

“Riptide” is a pop song full of surprises – it is just fabulous how it evolves from minimal bass, beat and vocals into a sing along anthem. If you are – like me – turned off by the predictability of many pop songs, this one is for you. Brezy, aka Britt Burton, is

VIDEO: Lowell - High Enough

Lowell is back! Her debut album “We Loved Her Dearly” was one of my favorites in 2014 and her new song “High Enough” hints that she is up for an excellent follow-up. The music and video feel a little more subdued than her previous work, but it is still absolutely

Babygirl are Kirsten Clark and Cameron Breithaupt from Toronto, Canada. Their debut single “Overbored” features guitar melodies, a steady beat and Kirsten’s restrained and, well, bored vocals.
