SONG PICK: ACRYLIC - Overrun

Listening to dozens of new bands and even more new music each day, it happens that something falls through the cracks but luckily never too far down to not get noticed again. “Overrun” is one of the tracks, that I initially overlooked. A mistake, an inexcusable almost, because “Overrun” is

Q&A with GIUNGLA

Behind GIUNGLA, Italian for ‘jungle’ and pronounced ‘giùn-gla’, is young artist Emanuela Drei. GIUNGLA has been touring for the most part of this year and will continue doing so, and yet she not only found the time to create new songs but to have  a little Q&A chat

SONG PICK: Chelsey and the Noise - Graveyard

The duo is called Chelsey and the Noise and the song “Graveyard” and they mean it. That becomes clear in the first seconds, when a distorted church bell is joined by noisy guitar riffs. Like Gazelle Twin or Fever Ray, Chelsey and the Noise master the art of creating unsettling,

NEW TRACK: Katie Rose - Feel

This came as a surprise after her big-moment, heartfelt breakout track “Wonder”: Katie Rose’s follow-up “Feel” is far more on the electro-pop side and makes me even more curious about her debut EP “Everything Yesterday” our on August 19.

Music

SONG PICK: Exes - Like You

“I don’t even think that your songs are about me”, Allie McDonald, one half of the L.A.duo Exes, complains. There was probably not much to save in this relationship, but she and her band mate Mike Derenzo can still write an excellent song about it. “Like You”

SONG PICK: MÅNTRA - Destroy You

“Destroy You” is a breathtakingly fantastic indie-rock track, with an undeniable Radiohead vibe to it, think earlier days Radiohead, think “Paranoid Android” and then you have the coolness factor of “Destroy You” right here right there!

SONG PICK: Alpines - Heaven

Alpines are Catherine Pockson and Bob Matthews, a duo from London. Our Song Pick of the Day, “Heaven” matches Catherine’s soulful vocals with electronics and a relentless hand drum beat. Something doesn’t fit together here, but that makes the track so intriguing. It is the first single from

SONG PICK: CHELAN - Won't Break

“Won’t Break” is like an impressionistic painting, created with the softer tones of the color palette, with steady strokes yet light and pleasing at the same time. And so, this new single by CHELAN is a gorgeous and slowly but steady pulsating indie synthpop gem. CHELAN, (pronounced “sh-lan”) are
