SONG PICK: Destrends - Papa

For those of us who like their indie music darker and grittier yet still sonically beautiful comes “Papa” by Destrends, a three piece from Melbourne, Australia. “Papa” is the first single of their upcoming EP to be released later this year and according to singer/bassist Matt Savage it is

SONG PICK: The Eiffels - You Got Me

“You Got Me”, the new single by Los Angeles indie pop trio The Eiffels, boasts a sweeping upbeat vibe, with glittering synth arpeggios and a big anthemic chorus. The Eiffels’ signature passionate power vocals by Sean Ulbs define the track as well as 80s reminiscent fat drum beats, think Phil

SONG PICK: Katie Rose - Wonder

Our Song Pick of the Day is “Wonder”, the uplifting debut single from young Charleston singer/songwriter Katie Rose. It is a goosebumps-inducing big pop song, which could have been used for the key moment in a Broadway show. Katie is working on her EP “Everything Yesterday”, due out on

SONG PICK: Secret From Richard - Feel My Fire

Oh, these shimmering guitars! “Feel My Fire” is an irresistible little gem from the start. Just wait until drums, bass, and eventually Jason Sturman‘s soulful, rich and raspy vocals kick in! There is plenty of suspense in the chorus to keep the track grounded but it eventually dissolves on

SONG PICK: Maya Killtron - Never Dance Alone

It is hard not to slip into party mood when listening to the funky soul track “Never Dance Alone” by Maya Killtron. It is unabashedly retro including the (presumably) fake import record cover. Maya had a lot of fun making it, so let it be your soundtrack for dancing through

SONG PICK: CHIMES - Come Get It

“Come Get It” is an instant stunner with its mesmerizing feel-good dance vibe, and while this new single by UK duo CHIMES would also be perfect for our ‘Late Night’ series, why wait so long? “Come Get It” is perfect any time of the day, and any day of the

Q&A with Josh Flowers & The Wild

In the mornings, usually the indie rock or electronic station of Apple music are turned on and often enough I already know and like the artists being played, or I don’t particularly care to know at that very moment. Two weeks ago though, I couldn’t head fast enough

Music

SONG PICK: Lily Elise - Let Me Down

Bay Area artist Lily Elise sings about a relationship that goes nowhere and she hopes she can end it without being hurt too much. Is it possible? The way the song ends suggests that she does not believe so. Our Song Pick of the Day, “Let Me Down” is a

SONG PICK: Team Picture - Birthday Blues

“Birthday Blues” by Leeds alt-rockers Team Picture is in the mold of some of the finest indie rock songs that got released by UK bands this year. Fuzzy guitars, psychedelic vibes, relentless beats, throbbing bass lines, lo-fi vocals… this all makes for one super cool debut single. The shimmering guitar

SONG PICK: Hockeysmith - Let's Dagger

More than two years ago, I was super excited about the sisters Georgie and Annabel of Hockeysmith. With their dark blend of guitars and electronics seemed to be destined for greatness, but then, after a three track EP they fell into silence and I was wondering if they haves moved

Music

SONG PICK: Aiym Almas - You Must Be True

Aiym Almas is a musician from Los Angeles via Kazakhstan and her latest single “You Must Be True” is a big goosebumps-inducing rock anthem with powerful vocals. “I want to find you / you must be true” she encourages herself as the subject of her search remains elusive. A beautiful song

Music

SONG PICK: Paper City People - Vacancy Routine [EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE]

“Vacancy Routine” is one of these alluring indie rock gems that impress with an interesting mix of mostly minor keys with sprinkles of majors, infectious chiming guitars and vocal hooks. “Vacancy Routine”, is the debut single by Melbourne duo Paper City People. Initially, Paper City People begun as a studio

Music

SONG PICK: Amber Mark - Monsoon

New York singer Amber Mark’s “Monsoon” is a track that goes to several places in its roughly five minutes: it is a ballad, written for Amber’s late mother Mia, but then she adds a fresh, almost hopeful beat before the song ends with German sound bites by Mia.

Music

SONG PICK: BLAB - Johnny

Our Song Pick of the Day is the debut single of young music student Frances Murray, aka BLAB. “Johnny” seriously rocks with distorted, noisy guitars, which contrast with her clear, bright vocals. It’s a track you can listen over and over again and I’m beyond curious what else

Music

SONG PICK: Jon Prezant - Heartstrings

With Northside Festival (Brooklyn’s up-and-coming answer to SXSW et al) in full swing, I was looking for a cool local track to feature as our Song Pick of the Day and found one with “Heartstrings” by New York artist Jon Prezant. “Heartstrings” is a sweet, upbeat and slowly swelling

Q&A with OTHERKIN

OTHERKIN hailing from Dublin, Ireland have an EP coming up later this month, and recently released the infectious “Yeah, I know”. It’s an amazing power track, so we made it Song Pick of the Day. Wanting to know more about the four from Dublin, we asked them to be

Music

SONG PICK: Water District - Supernova

There’s just one word that comes immediately to mind when listening to “Supernova”, the new single by Los Angeles indie rock band Water District –beautiful! The meaning behind the track in Water District’s own words: “Supernova is a song about what occurs when people explore new things in

Music

SONG PICK: Empara Mi - Wanderlust

Our Song Pick of the Day “Wanderlust” by Empara Mi is a wonderfully slow burning, intense track. It is her first release and there is not much to be found about her, but she has her social media in order, so I am sure we will hear more from her

Music

SONG PICK: Kit Trigg - Thrasher

Fans of the heavier version of electric blues rock rejoice because here come Kit Trigg with their debut EP “Thrasher”. While all four tracks are equally exciting, we chose the title track “Thrasher” as our Song Pick of the Day, and the reason for this is simple: there is just

Music

SONG PICK: Sofi Tukker - Déjà Vu Affair

From all electronic music duos Sofi Tukker has managed to carve out their own sound that stick in your head with repetitive lyrics and melodies. Our Song Pick of the Day “Déjà Vu Affair” is more conventional but no less cool with its urgent synth line and dramatic guitar riffs.

Music

SONG PICK: Caro - Cold Comfort

“Cold Comfort”, the just released second single by Leeds three-piece Caro, is intelligent alt-pop at its best! The track effortlessly mixes a singer-songwriter waltz with the high-energy and harmonies of prog rock, yet without ever sounding pompous or too experimental. “Cold Comfort” is a rather mature piece of music with

Music

SONG PICK: Saltwater Sun - Now Or Never

Sometimes a band name alone wants me to listen to their music: Saltwater Sun has a good sound to it. So does our Song Pick of the Day, “Now Or Never”, the new song of the London five-piece: it is melodic rock in the vein of Garbage or Wolf Alice.

Music

SONG PICK: Extra Texture - Take It All

There are songs, I come back to over and over again because I really dig them, for their easy flow and pleasant vibe and “Take It All” by New York’s Extra Texture is one of them. It is a classic indie-rock song, with really cool vocals, great guitar work,
