SONG PICK: Starling - No Rest For The Wicked

“I’m sick and tired of trying to be the nice girl” sings Starling, a singer/songwriter hailing from London, in our Song Pick of the Day. The video is like an art installation, showing her in various scenes around town and the music fuses multiple genres with Starling’s

NEW MUSIC: Joakim - Numb (Video)

Artist and electronic producer Joakim just released the video “Numb”, directed by Adrian Yu, where he is playing with the intricacies of the plethora of YouTube make-up tutorials as background (foreground, really?) for this great track. But there’s so much more in the video that only reveals itself after

SONG PICK: ISLAND - Dreaming Of

There’s a lot of understated cool in “Dreaming Of”, the new single by London four-piece ISLAND yet lead-singer Rollo Doherty makes sure to infuse it with a heavy dose of passion. “Dreaming Of” is deliciously catchy with its dreamy guitar melody, the heartfelt lyrics and the promise of “I

Music

SONG PICK: Rodes Rollins - Wes Come Back

Rodes Rollins’ atmospheric second single clearly draws inspiration from Italian western soundtracks and it is hard not to have a movie playing in your mind while listening to it. “Wes Comes Back” is about a long time friend of hers, whom she parted with at some point earlier in her

LATE NIGHT: Max Flynn - Shuffle

“Shuffle” is a smokin’ hot heat wave of a song, absolutely mesmerizing with an almost overwhelmingly sexy vibe. Addictive! Considering this is only the debut of Melbourne-based producer Max Flynn? There should be more where this came from and we’ll be read for it! Listen to this beautiful indie

Music

SONG PICK: REYNA - Matinee

“Matinee” is a beautiful, upbeat indie pop song and the new single by Milwaukee-based duo REYNA. “Matinee” is about a failed long distance relationship and the resulting rebound and empowerment. The song is catchy no matter what, but it might especially speak to everyone in a similar situation and encourage

Music

SONG PICK: Orchid - Body

Meet Orchid , the self-taught London-based singer/producer, who takes this alternative, R&B, electronic, whatever-you-want-to-call-it genre to the place where it is the most exciting: as an expression of one artist’s true emotions. Her first self-produced track “Body” eschews much of the genre-typical pomp (no pitched vocals!) features

NEW TRACK: Analog Candle - Trier

“Trier” is the first single from Analog Candle‘s upcoming EP “Winter ’15” and it has this special kind of elevating vibe by its sheer beauty. The avantgarde, dream-pop track  wanders into kind of a surreal direction yet always on a delectable and delightful path. Behind Analog Candle is a

SONG PICK: Sofi Tukker - Johny

Together with a fun telephone game, Sofi Tukker  just released the irresistibly charming “Johny”, following their hit singles “Matadora” and “Drinkee”. The New York based duo also got Grammy nominated in the category “Best Dance Recording”. Usually, an indie music blog would not necessarily pay too much attention to The

SONG PICK: Hydra Lerna - HYDRA

Our Song Pick of the Day comes from a London musician who took on the identity of a multi-headed monster from the Greek mythology : Hydra Lerna . Her first song (under this name) is also called “Hydra” and the catchy synth line with her bright, innocent vocals are deceiving: “I’ve

NEW MUSIC: POOLCLVB - You + Me (EP)

Alone thinking of Australia, the continent and country makes my heart jump in joy. Seemingly endless summer days, gorgeous beaches with breath-taking landscapes, super nice and easy-going people and great music, really awesome music… And proof of the latter is Sydney producer POOLCLVB who just released his debut EP “You

WITH WHISKEY OR COFFEE: Arc & Stones - Let Me Down

“Let Me Down”, the new single by Nashville three-piece Arc & Stones, takes it slow and soulful, with its “don’t let me down so easy” plea in the charming chorus.  It is easily catchy enough to linger and resonate long after the song ended, while a beautiful instrumentation and

NEW TRACK: Priests - Nothing Feels Natural

Priests are a rock four-piece from D.C., who we saw live in November ’15 at the new defunct Palisades. Since then they have finished their debut album, due out January 27, and “Nothing Feels Natural” song is about that experience: “This song was written when we weren’t sure

NEW MUSIC: Dorine Levy - Feelings (Video)

We have already picked “Feelings” as our Song Pick of the Day a few weeks ago, but together with this atmospheric video the song becomes even better. Watch Dorine and some fancily dressed friends roam a barren cityscape (which looks like a food market after dark).

Music

SONG PICK: Sandscape - Artificial Rush

At glamglare we are big fans of Eliza Shaddad, who released an excellent EP “Run” last year. Now she teamed up with producer Dan Sonabend to form Sandscape. Today’s Song Pick of the Day is their debut single “Artificial Rush”, a shapeshifting track fit for an post-apocalyptic jazz lounge.

SONG PICK: Tempers - Further

“Further” is the new song by NYC-based electronic duo Tempers, comprised of Jasmine Golestaneh and Eddie Cooper, and the compelling single ahead of their upcoming EP “Fundamental Fantasy” out on February 24.

Music

SONG PICK: Esther Joy Lane - Ever Ever

So far I have learned about the work of U.K. singer/producer Esther Joy Lane only randomly via the discovery feature of Soundcloud, although I believe she deserves being talked about all over the place. Her latest, brand new track “Ever Ever” is an ethereal but melancholic synth pop

NEW MUSIC: I Know Leopard - Rather Be Lonely (Video)

The video to “Rather Be Lonely” by Australian quartet I Know Leopard came out just recently, and while it tells a rather heartbreaking story, it never takes away from the gorgeous song itself. I suggest to simply watch the video, enjoy the beautiful track and then check out what the

NEW TRACK: Black Coast - Feel Something

New York producer Black Coast and Nashville singer REMMI wrote this song about moving on and hope for the better. Listen to “Feel Something”, close your eyes and dream of walking along a beach at sunrise.

SONG PICK: Loose Buttons - Am I The Only Reason?

The opening chord of “Am I The Only Reason” sets the mood for the entire song: beautifully dreamy with a touch of wistfulness thrown in and not really a  surprise  with a title like that. Yet, the song doesn’t stay that calm because there is some serious guitar action
