Compelling visuals, interesting narrative with a touch of suspense even, directed with a decisive artistic vision, band mates who don’t need to hide (and luckily they don’t!) and on top of it all a crazy catchy indie-rock song: “Cold Hands”, the first video by the Los Angeles rock duo The Dose, delivers all that and[…]
Spring has arrived here in New York (at least temporarily) and we are all looking forward for being a little “Underdressed”, like New York singer Vérité in her new song. It is a sing-along power pop tune with something of a dark undertone. Enjoy our Song Pick of the Day!
There’s a lot going on in “Sapiosexual”, lots of good stuff. Aside from the obvious, the rather brainy song title, with a Latin based and relatively newly created noun referring to being attracted to intelligence. What’s more interesting, for me usually anyway, is the music and it is uncompromising straightforward[…]
They have a picture of the Empire State in the apartment, but other than that “Space & Time” by California band FMLYBND has a strong West-Coast-y feeling to it. They obviously have a lot of fun with what they doing and that shines through in their music. Us on the[…]
Jess, singer of New York duo Satellite Mode is having it in a relationship where the other side is not playing “Fair”. Her vocals express anger and dissatisfaction, her partner Alex’ production underscores the drama of the moment. I hope you are not in a similar situation, but if you[…]
High Tyde Avec Sans luhx Tsar B Lightcliffe KYOSi’s Bryde
After impressive performances by Cut Worms and Lionlimb, the night and the sold-out venue clearly belonged to Quilt, the Boston quartet whom the audience came out to see celebrating their just released new album “Plaza”. (NPR offers a nice track by track feature of Quilt’s third studio album). In almost lightening speed, Quilt set[…]
Be prepared for goosebumps: London singer/songwriter Bryde develops her song “Help Yourself” from a quiet guitar and voice piece to a big rock anthem and back. “If you can’t help yourself, nobody else will help you out of this.”, she sings. That is true, too often.
No matter if you are an “Early Riser” or not, our Song Pick of the Day will boost your Saturday. New York singer/producer KYOSi’s debut single is a fresh, upbeat track that channels the effect of the first rays of sunshine in the morning.
The EP “Little Little Homes” came out a little over a week ago, and that’s since I’ve been listening to it. On repeat. This little gem of an EP is the creative child of Brandon Woodward and Luke Walton who together make music as FEiN, simply pronounced ‘fine’. Keeping it[…]
Even after having listened multiple times to “Please Leave”, the 2nd single by London quartet Lightcliffe, my immediate feelings still ring true: this is a heartbreakingly sweet song, based on a great melody, with lots of warm and fuzzy guitars and topped off with kinda ‘innocent’ sounding, great vocals… While starting out[…]
Sensual, electronics infused with Middle Eastern melodies is the trademark of mysterious Belgian singer Tsar B. Add that ominous bass line and you have an excellent Song Pick of the Day. Check out also her video for “Escalate”.
We take it more slowly on this Wednesday morning with “poison.”, an alluring new song by luhx. from Boston. They call their sound “synth-soul” and that describes it already pretty well. The song is beautifully crafted and the vocals are amazing and rather unique for this kind of “chill-pop”, you’d[…]
My initial title choice included statements like “Twin Wave are back” and “played a sold out show” but both statements are quite a pleonasm since this New York psych rock/dream pop band is obviously ‘back’ when playing a show and hey, they should (and will) play sold out houses. Ever since[…]
A broken heart heals slowly. That is the topic of our Song Pick of the Day “Heartbreak Hi” by the London duo Avec Sans. We have featured them before, when they were on the way to our hometown festival CMJ. Now they are Austin-bound and we are looking forward to[…]
