New York indie five-piece GIFT have made themselves rare over the past 18 months, but here they are again with an absolutely mesmerizing banger of a song! Their new single “Wish Me Away” is soft yet powerful and airy yet hypnotic. The track comes with a fantastic, surreal video that[…]
Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Nisa Lumaj, who goes artistically by Nisa, released another stunning track from her upcoming debut album Shapeshifting (4/26), the vibrant “Breach.” What appeals from the spot is the song’s syncopated rhythm and thoughtful instrumentation, which complement Nisa’s beautiful, emotive vocals. And wait for the super cool guitar solo![…]
Every beginning is difficult, but in the case of Ferry Townes also exciting because what this singer/songwriter has been working on over the past three years can finally be heard by the world. “Be Here” is Ferry Townes’ first single, with more to follow. What immediately drew me to Ferry[…]
Looks like New York’s synth-pop duo Dream Prescription is off to a good start. Live now a five-piece, Tim Robert (vocals, guitar) and Kent Friedman (synthesizer) continue to release great pop songs, and their newest one, “Star Size,” might be their finest to date! It’s one of these works where sound and[…]
Leave it to NYC singer/producer Mïrändä to advocate for reduced screentime in a way that sounds neither righteous nor moralizing. “Put Down Your Phone,” she sings cheerfully over bubbling synths, chiming bells, and whatever other sounds she needs for her unimitable production style. Also, be prepared for a visual feast[…]
Psymon Spine are about to release their new album, Head Body Connector, on February 23rd. They have already left their Brooklyn home and are on tour statewide and later in Spring also in Europe. The album’s second single is the warm and super catchy “Wizard Acid,” which is drenched with[…]
I remember with great fondness the first time I heard about TORRES and had the great fortune to see her play live SXSW 2015 on the heels of promoting her second, irresistibly fantastic album, Sprinter (2015). Hard to believe that almost ten years have gone by, but… TORRES, aka Mackenzie[…]
“Oh God,” the New York winter is upon us. For North Carolina transplant Lily Hain, this experience surely triggered second thoughts. The straight-shooting singer/songwriter embarks on a rant in her new song, and that is what we all sometimes need. But in the end, it is all a matter of[…]
With all that’s possible in music nowadays, it’s refreshing to see a band take a minimalist approach, extract inspiration from some of the 70s and 80s synth-pop icons, and make it their own sound. What Brooklyn synth-punk trio Public Circuit create is hard to pinpoint exactly, but that’s also unnecessary[…]
Mysterious bass lines, bright and inviting synths, a female voice reciting something, and before the voice turns to beautiful vocals, you’re already fully mesmerized by “Single / No Return.” The song marks the newest release by Brooklyn-based duo Strange Flesh. We’re excited to feature Varrick Zed (synths, vocals) and Ed[…]
