Last week, London-based alt-pop songstress Sharky released her new single “Bold As Brass” with its accompanying psychedelic visual. Accompanying her high ranging vocals is a soulful vibe that carries the track through, as your soul melts along with the jazzy soundscape. It’s perfect for easy listening, and might just make this summer-to-fall transition a little easier for us all. Check out the video below!

For those of you who have been asking, “What happened to MKTO?” after they dazzled us with upbeat single “Classic” and tickled our funny bones with “Goodbye Song”, we’ve got an update for ya. The duo is back and ready to take us all by storm again with the music video for their new single “How Can I Forget”. Bathed in low, beautiful light and a feeling of nostalgia, the duo brings their quintessential blend of raspy vocals and catchy pop melodies to a song that is both bittersweet and beautiful. Kiss the summer months goodbye by taking a break with the visual below!

Austin-based psych artist Ben Millburn is simply not messing around right now. His new album Sunglass Moustache won’t hit airwaves in its entirety until the 14th, but Millburn has been releasing visual works of art with each single release leading up to the big day. Today, we have the visual for “Shoot It” for you to check out. The concept reminds us of this Nick Offerman video, one of our favorite cold weather visuals to play in the background. As the percussion hits your soul, you can almost feel the warmth of the fire on your face. It’s truly an invigorating experience, especially as we head into cold weather months in the northern hemisphere!

Boston/Los Angeles-based surf pop collective Aüva has been making sweet, sweet tunes for us since they formed in early 2015 while studying at Berklee. Their second full-length album, All Good Things, shows the progression of their music, bathing its listener in beautiful harmonies and intricate guitar work. All Good Things hits the airwaves in its entirety on September 14th, but we’ve got a taste a little early with the exclusive premiere of “One Last Time”

We’ve been in the mood for a mid-tempo, semi-psychedelic track to really put us in the right mindset this weekend. Whether you’re experiencing torrential downpours like the midwest, or simply acknowledging the slow trudge into autumn, Canadian trio Fever Feel – comprised of Landon Franklin, Logan Gabert, and Thomas Platt – has a new track titled “Come To Me” that fits the bill. The soundscape is lush, beautiful in a way that an unexpected diamond in the rough would be, and we’re thrilled that we have the exclusive premiere to share with you!

In a beautiful, seemingly-hazy atmosphere is where director Simon Dymond placed the wonderfully nostalgic video for “Scars” by Hazey Eyes and Yoke Lore. With dark tones and a simple feel to it all, “Scars” features the talents of actors Erin Kellyman, tom Blyth, and Bradley Badder in a way that allows their pure acting talent to evolve over the course of the video. It all starts out simple enough, but eventually some crazy things happen… and we’ve got to admit, it gets pretty intense.
But isn’t that the case with most scars?

Nashville-based “dessert rock” collective Lasso Spells – comprised of Brett Dudash, Teddy Nabozny, Eric Melton, and Justin Lock – is making a bold statement in their new track “Be What You Want”, a fact that is palpable with even just a glance at the track name. Never mind that they have brought their quintessential psychedelic, carefree feel to the song, the lyrics are just as compelling.
“Be What You Want” is the perfect self love situation for us all as we continue into a season of productivity and luck. We’re looking forward to keeping this gem on repeat through it all.

Indie pop musician Emily Jackson may have taken a decade off of creating music to pursue her acting career, but her new single “Oh Mother” throws her right back into the magic of it all. A recent move from the sunny coast of California to the bustling streets of NYC pulled her back into her music creation sphere. And, even though she’s not acting in the song itself, there is a big, theatrical feel to the song that is absolutely gorgeous. Sounds of crashing waves and a robust feel brought on by reverb in the vocals brings this track into ballad territory, and we are all about it.
