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

SONG PICK: PANGEA - Something Bad

“Something Bad”, the debut single by indie rockers PANGEA, is something extraordinarily good.

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

“Plastic” is a blissfully bright and infectious indie-pop song but there is more to it!

Grace Savage is a musician, actor and beatboxer. Beatboxer? I didn’t know that this is still a thing, but you can hear the influence in her new track “Medusa”, an elegant trip-hoppy piece of synth pop. With the song she kicks off her career as a solo musician.

SONG PICK: Missing Words - Alright

There are songs that radiate that special Summer feeling perfectly, the feeling of sun on your skin, a nice drink in your hand, enjoying the still warm air at night and just letting go… For me, “Alright” evokes just such a feeling. Then again, the song’s title is “Alright”

SONG PREMIERE: Chloe Lilac - Reckless

“Reckless”, the new track by Chloe Lilac, elegantly merges the vibe of a late night jazz club performance with modern R&B production.
