SONG PICK: Highland Kites - This War Inside

“This War Inside” is a gripping song by the L.A. duo Highland Kites about escaping a struggle with yourself. There are darkness and war drums in this song, but singer and songwriter Marissa Lamar ends on a hopeful note: “I needed darkness to see the light / I will find

SONG PICK: Mangoseed - Jah Jah [EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE]

“Jah Jah” is a pulsating rock-fusion gem, featuring dubstep and moving vocals, growling bass lines and pealing guitar runs with scintillating effects.

SONG PICK: Linying - Alpine

Our Song Pick of the Day is a song by Linying from Singapore: her latest track “Alpine” starts quiet, almost inaudible and then soars into big, chills-inducing ballad. Maybe she had a sunrise in the mountains in mind, when she chose the title. Linying is working on an EP “Paris

RELEASED TODAY: Luna Bay - Colours

When listening to “Colours”, the debut single by Luna Bay, I hear something sincere and heartfelt. “Colorous” comes with all that a really cool pop-rock gem should offer: an immediately catchy flow, with an anthemic chorus that never goes over the top but simply makes you kinda understand and feel.

SONG PICK: Jenny Hval - Conceptual Romance

Norwegian artist Jenny Hval is usually not an easy listen and her high concept work tends to leave you intentionally baffled and confused. “Conceptual Romance” has a lot of that too, but it also adds some almost friendly and melodic elements, which makes this track easier to access and suited

SONG PICK: inc. no world - Waters of You

Listening to “Waters of You” evokes the feeling of walking on an empty beach, on a warm, not too hot, Summer day, bright sunlight glistening through the waves when it starts to drizzle, just lightly, the sweet water drops mixing with the saltwater ones, when you are setting one bare

3 Is A Band: The Greasy Slicks

A few days ago, I came across The Greasy Slicks, another absolutely rad indie blues rock band with psychedelic and even grunge touches. The main hubs -solely from my own perspective- for bands like this seem to be London, New York and Melbourne. This trio, and they are often trios,
