Planet Opal - Indigo Skies

I loved "Indigo Skies," the new single by experimental electronic duo Planet Opal from the spot. The track opens in the best Krautrock tradition with just some synth beats and lovely vocals that stand in alluring contrast to the soundscape, when edgy sounds and ultimately heavy drum beats

Lights - SURFACE TENSION

The Toronto singer, songwriter, and producer Lights takes a turn to a darker side with "SURFACE TENSION." Lyrically, the track may speak the minds of many of us, and the German language bridge adds an element of universality. Together with "WHITE PAPER PALM TREES," "SURFACE

Magnetic Skies - A Place on Earth

A bright synth-line, typical for the finest '80s new wave pieces, opens "A Place on Earth," the new single by Magnetic Skies. The track is anything but nostalgic, though, but rooted in a contemporary production with pensive lyrics and a timeless, mesmerizing vibe. Asked about "A

Sparse beats and haunted piano lines are the signature elements of the EP Stories in Flesh, which is out now. The Austin and Berlin-based singer/songwriter Nora Lilith evokes the fearlessness of early FKA twigs with her songs that she produced entirely herself. Nora says about the EP “This project

Glass House Point - Garden

Exciting to hear new music from Florida's indie-rockers Glass House Point. While I totally fell for their previous single, "Circling," I think I love "Garden" even more, thanks to its mesmerizing flow and overall chill vibe. I feel "Garden" could be an

Katie Schottland, who makes music as Swimming Bell, just announced her new EP, Somnia, produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Kurt Vile, Cat Power).

Wisp - Sword [Video]

In "Sword," you can experience a massive, candle-extinguishing (literally) wall of sound two times. Natalie Lu, aka Wisp, quiet and loud parts ebb and swell, like the anger in a relationship that one partner wants to keep secret. The gorgeous video, directed by Valerie Dziatko and Rudy Grazziani,

Los Angeles-based artist/performer Gelli Haha just dropped her first single, the infectious "Bounce House."

"Dreamers in the Dark" is a comforting song, both lyrically and musically, with an unpretentious but catchy pop production. The New York-via-Athens singer/songwriter Vasilikí made a splash with an elegant Modern Talking cover that smoothes the cringe-worthy parts of the original. Her new track comes with an

Cera Gibson - I Found God

Cera Gibson was raised in a conservative family in Utah, which explains why she used the title "I Found God" for a song about sexual liberation. The opener of her new EP, pinksoak, is a delicious piece of dark pop music that culminates in a rousing guitar solo.
