Let’s end the week with the Denver, Colorado indie rock band Tyto Alba: our Song Pick of the Day Between the Lines features melodic guitar layers and and Melanie Steinway’s soaring voice. More music and a video is coming soon.

SONG PICK: TMPL – Keep Falling

Keep Falling is one of these darker electronic songs, filled with a lot of longing, accentuated rhythms, sensual vocals and exploding with desire. Our Song Pick of the Day comes from the Canadian duo TMPL who’s about to release a new EP in the upcoming weeks. Listen to Keep Falling now:
