SONG PICK: Von Grey - Poison In The Water

Our Song Pick of the Day is the dramatic synth rock track “Poison In The Water” by the three Von Grey sisters from Atlanta, Georgia. The song builds up lingering dread with various metaphors of hidden dangers lining up in the future. The von Greys don’t reveal what exactly

SONG PICK: The Big Drops - By The Water

“By The Water” is a light and joyful single, that feels like fresh air after a brisk summer rain or the clean, bright light after a Thunderstorm. It is just absolutely gorgeous and maybe its title alone already makes the association to water heavy images. “By The Water” is taken

Q&A with SPINN

In April alone, we have featured not just one but four songs created by bands from Liverpool, England and so we wanted to know a bit more about at least one of them! We liked “Home” that much that we made it our Song Pick of the Day and can

SONG PICK: Blondage - Stoned

Danish pop duo Blondage, formerly known as Rangleklods are not “Stoned” in the usual way: “I got stoned, now I’m in love, tell me, what’s wrong with a little love?” sings Permille Smith-Sivertsen and it is some kind of unexpected, alien love she is talking about. The setting

Music

SONG PICK: Haux - Touch

Particularly in music, less is often more and “Touch”, the latest single by British photographer-turned-musician Haux, is the perfect example. The song is hauntingly beautiful in its restraint, giving room for Woodson Black‘s aka Haux soft and ethereal vocals to shine and well, yes, touch our souls. The compelling

SONG PICK: Birch - Cell Phone

Birch is a duo from Brooklyn, who do bright electro-pop songs with a seemingly uplifting vibe. But singer/songwriter Michelle Birsky wants to tackle serious topics with her music: “Cell Phone” is about the distance that technology can put between us and about the dark sides of the Internet. The

SONG PICK: Black Flowers Cafe - Never Trust Me

On the surface, “Never Trust Me” is all sweet and innocent but essentially it is rather irresistible with its soft and soulful vocals and its hypnotic rhythm and guitar lines. “Never Trust Me” is the new single by Black Flowers Cafe, an indie-rock quartet from Italy. It is is a

Music

SONG PICK: Amos & Emily - Reaction

For our Song Pick of the Day we go again to Australia: Amos & Emily are a duo from Newcastle, New South Wales and their track “Reaction” is a electro-pop piece of classic beauty: glittering synth arpeggios lead through the track that keeps suspense by building slowly but never losing

Music

SONG PICK: MOTIONS - All I've Ever Known

Dublin-based indie-rockers MOTIONS deliver a stunner of a song with “All I’ve Ever Known”. Slowly, yet relentlessly building, the track takes on an almost overwhelming intensity until it eventually bursts into this infectious mantra like release. MOTIONS provide the following background to their new single: “All I’ve Ever

Music

SONG PICK: Gold Child - Me And You

Gold Child, the band around singer/songwriter Emily Fehler, is on a quest to found a new Brooklynized sub-genre of country music. Their new song “Me And You” is exemplary for that: while the guitar work could come out of Nashville, there is a whole lot of indie pop thrown

SONG PREMIERE: The Legends - Riding The Waves

Ladies and gentlemen, the future has arrived! Exuding a nostalgic 70s vocoder and analogue synthesizer vibe while simultaneously sounding like something from the future yet to come, that is what “Riding The Waves” is going for. The galaxy-groovy “Riding The Waves” is the newest single by Sweden’s The Legends

Music

SONG PICK: Elleh - Door To Tomorrow

Tokyo-based Elleh call themselves a “sad boy disco duo” and that describes their music pretty well: you can easily imagine a sad person dancing alone to “Door To Tomorrow” in a Tokyo apartment. For forming Elleh fellow music blogger Satoru Teshima teamed up with Bob Wiley and according to their

SONG PICK: SPINN - Home

Totally taken by “Home”, the new single by Liverpool four-piece SPINN. Such bright, dreamy and beautiful guitar lines, paired with charming vocals get me every time, especially when they are as joyful as in “Home”. This is the perfect song to start your day with or to end it with,

Music

SONG PICK: Tsar B - Golddigger

Belgium-based singer Tsar B has found her signature sound in mysteriously oriental harmonies combined with electronic beats. Her new track “Golddigger” plays with the meaning of the word: somebody is trying to find the gold by playing tricks on her, not to much success. The drums thunder while she lays

SONG PREMIERE: Late Guest at the Party - Give You A Life

The instantly catchy “Give You A Life” opens with pulsating beats and pronounced synths lines, followed by cool vocals. “Give You A Live” is the new single by Brooklyn-based electronic dance-rock four-piece Late Guest at the Party and we are thrilled to premiere the stunning single today. Singer Beth reveals:

SONG PICK: Satori Blue - Empathy

“Empathy” opens with an irresistible understated coolness and then later leads into this super sweet melody, with gorgeous vocals, supported by the warm tones of violin and cello while never loosing its indie electronic vibes. This is one gorgeous new track by Seattle duo Satori Blue who say about the

Music

SONG PICK: Sgrow - Is Anyone Where They Want To Be?

Sgrow is Vilde Nupen and Kristoffer Lislegaard, a duo from Norway. Their latest song “Is Anyone Where They Want To Be?” is a dark and menacing piece of electronic music. Minimal beats and melodic elements underline Vilde’s vocals that come from a place of self-doubt and insecurity. Is anyone

Music

SONG PICK: Polar States - Gold

Gorgeous vocal harmonies paired with bright and sparkling guitars dominate “Gold”, the new single by indie rockers Polar States. According to the Liverpool-based quartet, the song is about “valuing what you have” and the beautiful melody of the track does the sentiment fully justice. The song’s flow, how it

Music

SONG PICK: PANGEA - Something Bad

“Something Bad”, the debut single by indie rockers PANGEA, is something extraordinarily good. I’m swooning over the velvety vocals together with the soulful lead guitar and am swept away by the track’s joyful, funky, dance floor vibe. The lyrical content though goes deeper, as frontman Slye explains: “Something

Music

SONG PICK: Flora Cash - California

I imagine California and Sweden very different places and that may be exactly the point of the new track by Flora Cash. The duo points out: California describes a longing to be free; even when the prospect of achieving that freedom, is itself daunting. You can hear this in the

Music

SONG PICK: Elohim - Skinny Legs

Los Angeles singer/producer Elohim may never show her face, but she certainly shows her colors as an exciting producer in her latest track “Skinny Legs”, even more so than in her self-titled debut EP released last year. “Skinny Legs” has something gritty and unsettling and makes curious which direction

Music

SONG PICK: Is Bliss - Into A Dream

Rarely is a band’s name more appropriate than it is the case for U.K. psychedelic shoegaze three-piece Is Bliss because their new single “Into A Dream” is total heaven for fans of this genre. So. Incredibly. Good. Think of some of the genre’s most famous and beloved

SONG PICK: åMBe - Of Your Crimes (Video)

“Of Your Crimes” by Brooklyn musician åMBe is not the theme song of the next James Bond movie, but it should be – maybe this would breathe new life into the aging franchise. Maria Brodskaya, the woman behind åMBe, is an accomplished classically trained musician, who today released the EP “Enemy

SONG PICK: Simian Ghost - Stop Moving

While the title of Simian Ghost‘s new single is “Stop Moving” the actual songs make you want to do the exact opposite. “Stop Moving” is an incredibly upbeat and vibrating song, that makes you want to get up onto your feet and start dancing or at the very least

SONG PICK: Young Galaxy - Stay for Real

This Song Pick of the Day, “Stay For Real” literally stopped me in my tracks when it appeared on Apple’s new music playlist while walking in Central Park. It is the latest track by Montreal four-piece Young Galaxy and a call to resistance against forces who want to push
