I feel this hesitation every time we speak.

From the ceaseless guitars, tight percussion, and pleading vocals, the boundless energy in Clockwork Radio’s latest single, “Feel It Up,” will just not give. I’m won over with the easy sound and the group chorus, perfect track for any summer playlist.

Be sure to grab the song below and then head over to their bandcamp to stream their recently released EP, Ubuntu.

You better learn to hide.

Easy going melodies, hushed vocals, and a familiarity behind the folk-rock sound was probably what grabbed hold of my attention first time listening to song, “To The Sun.” 

Hailing from Torino, Italy, Farmer Sea are an indie rock four-piece who produce well-tailored music that’s light and carefree with a nice blend of acoustic and electric instruments.  Grab their first single off their latest album, A Safe Place, for free below and stream the rest of it here.

Sunday Listening: Get Disowned – Hop Along

Maybe Hopalong has been culminating for awhile now, friends who went to rural suburban high schools and decided to make the plunge and move to the city.

But to me, they’ve fantastically sprung onto my radar just a few months ago. After hearing Frances Quinlan’s distinct voice on their first single, “Tibetan Pop Stars,” I was absolutely struck. Such command, and I completely dig the strong instrumentation backing her up. To pre-order their first full length, Disowned, was really no question at all, even though they had no other tracks up for stream.

I’m thrilled these guys are establishing themselves in Philadelphia, because after giving this album listen upon listen I’m only more convinced they’d truly put on a great live show. “Diamond Mine” is an incredible soft-to-loud song the layers in ways I would have never guessed, one of my favorite tracks so far. The rest of the album shows off a lot of potential, and I wonder what their next album could sound like.

Listen to its entirety below, and be sure to grab your vinyl copy through Hot Green Records. I can’t wait until mine shows up.

You know your words are like comets.

I’ve loved on these gentleman before. The N’ere Dowells create some of the most charming garage-rock I’ve heard in awhile so of course I was excited to see a new track of theirs in my inbox.

I love their incorporation of the horn this time around, somehow it goes perfectly with those lo-fi guitars in their newest track, “Comets.” It’s a slow burning song that’s minimal in nature, no frills and yet it all still sounds so brilliant.

Is there another chance to take this cosmic dance?

For a band that “literally does not exist,” they sure produce some tightly packaged pop music. With permanent frontman being Oliver Ignatius, the rest of Ghost Pal operates as a collective of friends that are summoned whenever creativity strikes.

“Wildebeest Song” is the group’s newest single from their upcoming EP. I really enjoy the lyricism, and the many elements Ignatius blends along with all of the highs and lows. I’m truly amazed at what he was able to pack in this track that barely clocks in at just over two minutes.

We all know smoke rises and ashes fall.

It’s amazing what a change in scenery does for you. Just being able to see patches of grass that expand larger than a city lot, sprawling shopping centers, and being able to run around the lake my neighborhood sits on top of; it’s oddly been nice.

So, here’s your curve ball. I’ve been on an electronic/hip-hop kick lately and it’s time to break that love fest up. Here’s some heavy alt-country guitar riffs, wailing vocals, and enough lo-fi in those monitors to stir up your day (and playlists).

I could float out the window

A beautiful direction that the Brooklyn group, Preludes, have recently taken. “Dresden” is the brother and sister duo’s latest single which is full of slow-churning adorable melodies with a dream-pop glaze overtop. I’m always a big fan of boy/girl vocals and that push pull feeling.

Grab the track and name your price, enjoy.

You don’t need nobody to tell you it won’t be alright.

I really like how the vocals are up front and present in Oh! My Blackbird’s single, “No Exit.” Off of their recently released album, Dare Me, you hear the trio play a beautifully stripped down song mainly showcasing their harmonies while simultaneously adding complimenting instruments ever so lightly into the mix.  I dig the subtleties y’all.

Check out Brooklyn’s latest up-an-comers that are bringing a richly acoustic sound to the table.

As We Float – The American Dollar

I’ve spoken fondly before about NYC’s The American Dollar. A duo who seem to really have a knack for creating expansive soundscapes fueled by light electronica and polished progressive-rock influences.

The group recently debuted their video for the track, “As We Float,” off their latest album, Awake In The City. Watch as their friend Tor Even Mathisen takes it to another level with his gorgeous time-lapse of an arctic landscape. From brilliant sunlit mountain ranges to a luminous aurora borealis filled night sky, you will be in awe of the natural beauty showcased in this music video below.

Already a bestseller on Bandcamp from this past weekend, Awake In The City is now available for purchase.
