This is big sound: L.A. via NYC musician Cuesta Loeb does shoegaze-inspired dream pop where her vocals float narrowly over thick layers of guitars. “Charlotte Hill” is the third track off her debut EP “Dive”, which is out now (Apple Music | Spotify | Soundcloud). Cuesta Loeb will play their[…]
Leave it to musicians to cope with tragic loss in the most amazing way. “Fletcher Bay” with its -as contradictory as this may sound- upbeat melancholy is like golden sunshine after a dark and heavy thunder-storm. Singer-songwriter Harry Pane dedicated “Fletcher Bay” to his late father, who sadly passed away last year, yet both shared[…]
Oyinda’s “Restless Minds” was one of my favorite EPs last year. Now she is following up with a video that blurs real and visual reality. Oyinda explains: “Whilst writing ‘Serpentine’ I was studying hypnosis, specifically instances where patients wind up referring to themselves in the third person; they see themselves[…]
Electronic music night at The Delancey! First on stage was Vigil. Wary of the “karaoke problem” that many electronic musicians face, he decided to ditch the laptop in favor of a vintage MPC, which he plays like a hand drum. Good choice – he achieved similar intimacy and intensity of[…]

The debut single “After Life” by Toronto-based duo Torandaga is a clever and disarmingly beautiful track. Clever, because subject matter, lyrics and musical interpretation are done in a rather sophisticated way and beautiful because it simply is. There’s a stark contrast between the dark and powerful drum and bass lines and the gorgeous, airy[…]
Ellie Bleach is a student from Norwich, England and “I Want You So Bad” is her slow burning, extremely catchy debut track, which she recorded for the local label Seal of Approval Records. I’m sure we will hear more from her this year. Listen to our Song Pick of the[…]
“Save all your love for another day” is the advice Danish/Italian singer Mikala gives to somebody she is not so much interested in. It “makes you wonder what the world’s coming to” – or maybe not: musically and lyrically captures a hot night out in the city, when love and[…]
There is no escaping “Stronger Love” because this track is one optimistic, glorious pop-anthem, one of the songs you like to sing along with, when hitting the repeat-button. There’s not much to be said yet about the enigmatic Los Angeles based artist Toyko and why not letting his new single[…]
