VIDEO PREMIERE: AKIVA - Broken Ship

Despite its apocalyptical visuals and fiery message, “Broken Ship” by AKIVA also comes with a dose of optimism. As long as there are people who take their feelings and beliefs and transform them into compelling art, not all is lost! Based in Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England,

SONG PICK: Mega Bog - Diary of a Rose

Mega Bog is the project of Erin Elizabeth Birgy and her new song is musically as beautiful as its poetic title. Carried by a gentle, swelling guitar line, the track flows like a stream of memories through the mind. This is not a coincidence as Erin explains: “Diary of a

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

DAXX is the new project by Marina Sprenger, who we know from the Munich indie rock band Heroine Twin. Since then she changed musical style and location: she does now brainy synth pop in London. DAXX’ debut single “Golden Gate” was in Marina’s mind for years and has recently

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

VIDEO FRIDAY: Kazu - Salty

Kazu Makino is a member of Blonde Redhead, one of the best indie bands for more than 25 years. If you have been following them, Kazu’s first solo song and video just seem to be naturally something she would come up when on her own. Sound and image have

SONG PICK: Gatlin - Cold Night in Brooklyn

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. The song starts as a simple rock song, boring almost, but a few beats in, it gets this irresistibly lush psychedelic treatment and grooves smoothly along. The production keeps

SONG PICK: Primitive Heart - No Fear in Love

Dani Mari is a well-known figure in the NYC music scene and it is good to see that she recently released a new excellent track under the name Primitive Heart. „No Fear In Love“ is a restrained, haunting synth pop track with Dani‘s vocals front and center. Yes, there

SONG PICK: Charlie Hole - There Will Be No King

Probably even more stunning than his stellar guitar chops, appealing raspy vocals and overall delectable songwriting is his talent to tell truly compelling stories.

PHOTOS: ionnalee at Elsewhere

Jonna Lee aka ionnalee fka iamamiwhoami has always been more than a musician. Whatever the Swedish artist does feels like part of a larger concept: the music, the visuals and even her own appearance are to be full of symbols and mysterious references. This was clear from the first moment

Music

SONG PICK: Pheeyownah - Scent/Sweat

“Scent/Sweat” is the latest single from the debut album “SILVER” by Swedish/Ugandan singer/songwriter Pheeyownah. The track showcases her elegant, restrained future pop production: every beat, every sound and every effect feels deliberately placed into a compelling soundscape. “SILVER” is out this Friday, May 3 (Apple Music), but

SONG PICK: Nick Wilson - Let Me Hold You

Big epic ballads are hit or miss and firmly in the latter camp is “Let Me Hold You”, the new single by ambient electronic artist Nick Wilson. From the start, the song puts it all out: the longing, the heartbreak, everything that went wrong and what could have been. With

SONG PICK: Hunter As A Horse - Walk With Fire

VIDEO FRIDAY: Rayon Nelson - Freedom

There is not much to add to the words of UK musician Rayon Nelson – the song and video speak for themselves: The song is about Freedom. I wrote it after being inspired and somewhat burdened to do something about the killing of young youths and also about young refugees. My

SONG PICK: Model Citizen - Get Out

Model Citizen is an 18-piece band from Brooklyn led by songwriter Mark Ciani. Having that many musicians may be impractical in some ways, but it also gives you a massive, organic sound with an element of delightful chaos. “Get Out,” the second single of Model Citizen is jazz and funk

Music

SONG PICK: Deliluh - Rabbit

Listening to “Rabbit”, without knowing where Deliluh are from, I would either place them in Chicago, IL or the U.K. preferably Manchester but Canada I would not have had on my map. The Toronto-based post-punk quartet released a deliciously dark, edgy and slow-building new single with “The Rabbit”, something

Music

SONG PICK: Heavy Heart - Dowsabel

Heavy Heart is a good name for an alternative rock band, in particular when they delve in the realm of doomed love relationships. In “Dowsabel” Anna Vincent (vocals, guitar), Patrick Fitzroy (guitar), James Vincent (guitar) and Craig Brown (drums) tell their tale with a melodic, soaring dream rock song that

Music

SONG PICK: Sunbathers - The Deep End

Ahead of their new EP “The Pool Party” (out June 7), indie-pop rockers Sunbathers release the chill and mellow single “The Deep End” that whispers “California”. Surprisingly, the quartet calls Baltimore, MD and not LA their home, yet their melodic, sun-kissed sound could come from there; think LANY for starters.
