Recently, Ocean Alley premiered the music video for their track “Hot Chicken”. Needless to say, we’re huge fans. Directed, animated, and edited by Michael Askew, the video is absolutely entrancing, changing at musical cues to display different textures and landscapes, many to be left to the imagination. It has a bit of a psychedelic quality to it, which just heightens the effects of the track itself, with whirring guitar and attitude for days.
Check out the video below!
Keep up with Ocean Alley here.

Broken Bells are tugging at our heartstrings in the new video for “Good Luck”, which is enveloped in passing glances at the mood of current times. As we contemplate the depth of the world’s collective depression, we consider “sunrise” and movement toward something bigger. Somehow, Broken Bells have been able to vocalize an emotion most of us can’t quite put our finger on. The visual does its best to emphasize those feelings, a contemplative child calling light to an examination of our deepest selves.
Who knew we would be doing that with music videos right now? This song and its accompanying music video are art in its highest form.
Keep up with Broken Bells here.

In true Sir Sly fashion, new track “All Your Love” brings a certain type of beauty out within its melancholy landscape. Listening to Landon’s voice does that to you most of the time, perhaps, because the delivery of each line is so riddled with obvious emotion. Though the new track has a very romantic title, don’t come looking for a love song with this particular single.
Discover what we mean with a listen below, and be sure to let us know what you think!
Keep up with Sir Sly here.

If the title isn’t enough to entice you (the full version is “Eating Ass 2020”), perhaps Wwoman‘s silky smooth vocals and light as a feather soundscapes will give you reason. As artist and musician g smee’s one-man project, wwoman delivers a well-thought out track for us to enjoy during social distancing. Admits the artist, “It’s a remake of the first track I ever recorded, ‘EA2020’ is a redemption track. A therapist once told me my problem is that I can’t settle for good when better exists.”
While many of us are spending more time with our own idiosyncrasies, he bares it all in his music. The lyrics are also strangely relatable right now, addressing loneliness like 2020 was made for it.
Just by yourself everyday
And you never wanted
And you never wanted
You never want it that way
Take the simplistic nature of the lyrics as you will, but we’re totally here for the vibes of the track. Thank you, Wwoman.
