SONG PICK: Sam Valdez - Turn

SONG PICK: Imperial Daze - People Are Animals

The brooding vibe in psych-pop band Imperial Daze‘s new single only lightens up throughout the contrastingly bright chorus when they cheeringly chant “People Are Animals” – and that sentiment sticks.

SONG PICK: Ciaran Lavery - Full Love

With his beautifully melancholic new single “Full Love” singer/songwriter Ciaran Lavery makes a case for going all in.

SONG PICK: Snow Ghosts - Ribcage

Dramatic orchestral or cutting edge electronic music – our Song Pick of the Day “Ribcage” is both. The U.K. three-piece Snow Ghosts used an array of old and new instruments to create a soundscape that connects ancient and modern times like the eternal cycle of death and the grief of

SONG PICK: Me Not You - Not Fine

SONG PICK: Ed Patrick - Blow My Cover

All my life, I’ve been drawn to guitar-driven singer/songwriter fare and growing up there was no shortage to indulge in it. Lately though, I have the feeling that this kind of music got more interesting again with a crop of young musicians who not only write great songs

SONG PICK: DAXX - Golden Gate

SONG PICK: Kill J - Moon Sick

“Moon Sick”, the new track by Danish art pop musician Kill J, casts a spell with its almost surreal and outer worldly vibe. The feeling of vastness  and what-could-be is intentional of course, as Kill J explains: “I was inspired by the multiverse theory within quantum mechanics. There are as

SONG PICK: Benedict Benjamin - Tell Me If You're Lonely

Benedict Benjamin aka Ben Rubinstein released his final single “Tell Me If You’re Lonely” before his album “Truant” drops tomorrow.
