SONG PICK: Cold Reading - Present Tense

The reasons why something resonates with us, are not always the immediately obvious ones. I almost passed on Swiss quintet Cold Reading but upon receiving the correct streaming links, I gave “Present Tense” a listen and liked the peaceful flow of the track. What made me want to the Lucerne-based

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

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 and gives

Kacy Hill moved from Phoenix to L.A. and and rubbed shoulders with super stars in the music business. With her new song “To Someone Else” she is now doing her own thing in a quite spectacular way. Bright, elegantly produced and with unexpected, out-of-character drum breaks, the song captures

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

Ali Genevich and Jake Brooks make indie pop together in Upstate New York as Laveda. After “Dream.

“Got Your Message” is the gorgeous new single by Brooklyn-based duo Eighty Ninety, consisting of brothers Abner and Harper James.

SONG PICK: Clubhouse - Lucky Soul

“Lucky Soul”, the new single by Columbus, Ohio electro-pop six-piece Clubhouse,  is heartbreakingly beautiful. The song rides an overall optimistic and bright wave but there are also some more serious undertones noticeable.

SONG PICK: Moon Palace - Who You Are

Whatever imagery the phrase “moon palace” invokes in you: the music of Seattle quartet of Moon Palace is probably a fitting soundtrack for it: nocturnal and dreamy with a ray of light shining through here and there. The second single “Who You Are” is a good preview of their excellent

Music

SONG PICK: Dominic Sen - Hear Me

“Hear Me”, the new single by Dominic Sen is just so incredibly beautiful that it is impossible to do anything else but to listen to it intently. The song unfolds carefully, with driving beats and sparse instrumentation, letting Sen’s vocals shine, until the more voluptuous chorus kicks in. While

SONG PICK: Mealtime - Teef

“Teaf” got me from the start by the lyric piece “let’s sit by the ocean“, an image appealing and strong enough, to draw me in. Of course, the allure does not stop at the lyrics as “Teef”, the new single by Manchester-based six-piece Mealtime, is highly catching and truly

SONG PICK: Miss Naivety - Cyclones

One of the fascinating aspects of music is how little is required to evoke strong feelings in the listener. Irina Shtreis aka Miss Naivety has already prooven with her two first EPs that she does not need much to draw you sonically into her world. “Cyclone,” her latest song features

SONG PICK: Ro Bergman - Horizon

“Horizon”, the new single by indie-rock musician Ro Bergman is hypnotic in its repetitiveness and irresistibly gorgeous at once. Dark and brooding yet with a touch of hope and optimism when the chorus of “new horizon”, chanted repeatedly, sets in. When asked about his newest song, Bergman provides: “Out of
