Essentials: “Cycles” – SNSES

SNSES is out with a new track, titled “Cycles”, for listeners to enjoy. Immersive and consuming, “Cycles” envelopes listeners in a mystical cornucopia of sounds. The very first lyrics suggest being inside a mind, and that’s exactly how the track feels: as though one is on a thoughtful, intricate journey of internal thoughts. Released on [continued]
Essentials: “Redneck” – Molly Parton

In these uncertain times, many of us have turned to artists for both comfort and entertainment. But artists also have a responsibility to address current events and question our culture and current state of affairs. It’s this aspect of Molly Parton’s “Redneck” that demands attention. In this new track, the country-house act reclaims a traditionally [continued]
An Interview With: Henry Jamison

We spoke to indie musician Henry Jamison about his upcoming EP, Tourism, and his process behind creating his dreamy, angelic songs. Can you talk a little bit about inspiration and song arc in your upcoming EP Tourism? I suppose the inspiration was just the desire to account for a very tumultuous time in my life. [continued]
Essentials: “Sit Like a Flamingo” – Half an Orange, Disero, and Josh Bogert

Going off the title alone, “Sit Like a Flamingo” might not make it to the top of your must-listen-to playlist, but upon pealing it open I have been pleasantly surprised. The track is a collaboration between three artists: Half an Orange, Disero, and Josh Bogert. In a time where we really need collaboration, this track [continued]

Essentials: “Home” – Slow Magic

After the success of Dreams, I didn’t quite know where Slow Magic could go. But like every strong and robust musician, he continues to produce new and exciting music, which is needed more than ever in these difficult times. His new album it’s the end of the world but it’s ok will be released in [continued]
Essentials: “Complica8ed” – Taylor Grey

Singer/songwriter Taylor Grey has launched a new single and video for “Complica8ed”. Bookended by the image of a bride running through the desert with a pink retro telephone in search not of her groom, but of her true love, “Complicat8ed” is a very successful pop song. Arguably, more commercial than her previous work. “Complicat8ed” brought [continued]
Essentials: “I Just Wanna Sleep” – Justin Jay and Josh Taylor

Produer Justin Jay has recently released a new single off the upcoming Everything Will Come Together Pt. 2, “I Just Wanna Sleep,” with Josh Taylor. This follows lead single “Stop,” a collaboration with Tima Dee. But while “Stop” had a clear upbeat rhythm and a dance beat, “I Just Wanna Sleep” is decidedly laid-back—a vibe [continued]
Essentials: “Second Thoughts” – ALIGN

ALIGN drops his first single of 2020, a dreamy melody titled “Second Thoughts,” featuring Becca Krueger. “Second Thoughts” has an airy quality to it due to its high strung cord progressions, which open the track. But by twenty seconds in, this is joined by a steady rhythm and Krueger’s peppy voice. Once we’re within a [continued]
