SONG PICK: Jenny Hval - High Alice

Everything that Norwegian artist Jenny Hval does is remarkable and noteworthy, but often also discomforting and straight out weird. Her latest song “High Alice” is no exception, but it comes in the package of a beat-heavy synth pop track with an almost sweet mood. The song in on Jenny’

SONG PICK: Cold Reading - Present Tense

SONG PICK: Cray - idontwannatalkaboutlove

Cheney Cray aka CRAY does not want to talk about love for a reason: as a singer, songwriter, producer, DJ and avid gamer she has enough to do and whoever wants to see her romantic side has to first find their spot in her busy life. “idontwannatalkaboutlove” is a refreshingly

VIDEO FRIDAY: Kid Bloom - EVRWNDR

Kid Bloom‘s music has one remarkable and fairly unique feature: Lennon Klosser‘s vocals! When we featured Kid Bloom’s single “Sugarcoat” earlier this year, I resisted the temptation to mention who the vocals remind me of but this time I want to say it. As someone who grew

Music

SONG PICK: Margot Polo - Let's Get Out

Of course the name Margot Polo sounded familiar and I remembered the club-ready single “Dance With Me” that I featured “somewhen last year” but as cool coincidences go, the feature happened exactly 364 days ago. And so, putting “Let’s Get Out” on your radar, is a no-brainer

SONG PICK: The Hails - Sugar

With the song I identified as today’s #songpick, I found myself on Manhattan’s Lower East Side walking the lesser known and crowded side streets, listening to “Sugar” on repeat and loving it to pieces! I tried hard to evoke the feelings I had when I first walked these
