Tragic Sasha - Easy Life

Mid-December until about mid-January is a time when artists hibernate, celebrate, or create new music. As a result, there are hardly any new single releases, and it's getting increasingly challenging to feature new, exciting music. That's why I looked at what some of my favorite artists

April Fools - OWS

There is something charming about five friends coming together to make music together collaboratively. The Brooklyn quintet April Fools released its debut EP Knock Knock earlier this December about "the all too familiar tenderness and yearning of a whirlwind romance." The closer "OWS' is an epic

The Zew - The Falcon is a Pretty Bird

The EP Zazel Wants to Fly is dedicated to flight. The opener, "Black Feather," remembers Rossa "Zazel" Richter, who let herself be fired into the air by a cannon in 1877. The last track, our Song Pick of the Day, recognizes the beauty of a soaring

Danish singer/songwriter and fuzz-loving guitar player Lauritz Carlsen creates atmospheric indie-rock as Lou Z  and recently released his album Holes for the Hearts. The record's title track is a prime example of Lou's sound and the all-encompassing vibes he creates. Asked about the album, Lou

Caroline Romano - Born to Want More

Life rarely goes as expected. In the intimate song "Born to Want More," Caroline Romano shares a moment of uncertainty about her wishes and dreams. She finds no resolution in the song as it builds to an angry bridge and drops again into the doubtful chorus. Caroline says:

Sleeper’s Bell - Bored

Sleeper’s Bell are Chicago-based songwriter Blaine Teppema and her bandmate Evan Green, and they are about to release their debut album "Clover." The last drop from this lo-fi folk-tunes album is "Bored," and it gives a beautiful taste to the whole thing. Looking forward to

Tehya - spoons for sweets [Video]

"spoons for sweets" is a song about a fleeting encounter that – in hindsight – was life-changing. The LA-based singer, songwriter, and producer Tehya turned such an experience into a perky pop song that reflects the beauty of life in all its facets and turns. Tehya says about the song:

The Weather Station - Body Moves

The holidays... we're looking more inwards, and once New Year's Eve rolls around, outward again, with hope and expectations for what's ahead. The more I find Tara Lindeman's experience with writing and recording "Body Moves" fitting for for this special

Sohodolls - Thread

Blood Lemon - High Tide

"High Tide" is an earthy indie rock track, but guitarist Lisa Simpson, guitarist of the Idaho trio Blood Lemon, had romance literature in mind when she wrote the lyrics. "I took the sensual for inspiration, and the beginning of ‘High Tide’ was a research query of what

Song Pick of the Day

Ten Fé - All Night

Eight years ago, I came across Ten Fé for the first time when Ben Moorhouse and Leo Duncan (songwriters and lead vocals) were still a duo. This was with their song "Overflow." By now, they had expanded to a four-piece by adding Rob Shipley (bass, vocals) and Tom

Song Pick of the Day

Housewife - Divorce

The perspective is clear here: Brighid Day, aka Housewife, believes the breakup is the other person's fault. Still, she is left with nothing and needs to fill the new emptiness in her life. "Divorce," like her previous song, "Life of the Party," will be

JESSIA - I’m Not Gonna Cry

"I’m Not Gonna Cry" by Canadian pop singer and songwriter JESSIA, is not just " another break-up song" but serves as a beautifully upbeat pop anthem about resilience and making it through all the pain intact and maybe even stronger. This is great music paired with

Cornelia Murr - Pushing East

Dreamy indie-pop singer/songwriter Cornelia Murr enchants with the tender and utterly gorgeous "Pushing East." The gentle sound reminds me of the soothing vibe of Tamara Lindeman (The Weather Station), and couldn't be happier to have learned about Cornelia Murr! With "Pushing East," the

Chloe Slater - Fig Tree [Video]

Now I'm even more excited to see Chloe Slater live next Spring at The Great Escape in Brighton. The Manchester-based songwriter is known for her honest observations of the world around her. In "Fig Tree," she aims at the unrealistic standards the world puts on women

Tremendous - Slipping Away

It’s all too easy to lose track of things we like, music, and musicians we are fascinated by. The last time I actively heard about Birmingham glam-rock act  Tremendous, was in 2019 with the song “Copycat Killer.” The more I’m excited to have learned that they have a

Camille Schmidt - Stanley [Video]

With "Stanley," Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Camille Schmidt has an absolute banger at her hands. The song's beat and earthy beat leaves you breathless and gasping for more. Good that Camille has her debut album, Nude #9, ready to be hopefully released soon. There is a funny

Alto Alto - Broken Fin

Oxford indie-rock band Alto Alto makes a splash on the scene with their mesmerizing single "Broken Fin." It's hard to believe that this marks only the debut of Alto Alto, which makes them one exciting emerging act to watch! I asked Alto Alto whether they'

Alexia Thomas - Based on a Dream

Based on a Dream, the debut album of Swiss singer, songwriter, and producer Alexia Thomas is a work of beauty and best enjoyed in its entirety. However, the title track is especially gorgeous: Alexia teamed up with fellow Basel artist Malummí to create a sweeping soundscape that indeed puts you

Tabi Gervis - Clearly

Tabi Gervis's new single "Clearly" delights with a big swagger and a touch of a jazzy, retro-feel while simultaneously forward-thinking. In particular, she's faulting a former (?) significant other when she croons, "you clearly don't know how to love." Grandiose! "

Strange Flesh - Chaos Hearts

New York-based synth-pop duo Strange Flesh dropped their debut album, The Hardest Thing to Burn Is the Heart, on Friday, which is an elegant piece of constrained electronic music. We are fans of Varrick Zed (vocals, synths) and Ed Zed's (vocals, synths, drums, various noise) music since their
