There is something highly fascinating about one-take shots in movies and music videos alike. The newest video by Brooklyn-based indie-rock collective GIRL SKIN features exactly that: captivating visuals directed by Idle House and shot in only one long reflective take. “Bite Real Hard” is a song especially dear to singer/songwriter[…]
Classic shoegaze is the thing of the London-based band band Cosmic Strip around singer Camella Agabalyan. Thick layers of guitars engulf the vocals and wash over you like the feeling the song wants to describe. Camella explains about “Sugar Rush”: I wanted to write a song about the feeling of[…]
Someone who goes by the artist name Cherry Blaster has my attention already, and then titling a song “Olive” even more so. Throw in some atmospheric, thick synths lines with dark vocals over it, and voilà! an appealing cocktail is ready to be savored. Cherry Blaster is the solo project[…]
