As the lead up to the release of True North revs up – due out in early February – Michael Chapman is releasing pieces of the work to an anxiously awaiting audience. “After All This Time” is a beautiful work of art, allowing us a very unique look at love lost. The arrangement complements Chapman’s vocals perfectly, allowing for a soft and ethereal look back in time.
Expands Chapman, “In a bookshop, I met a beautifully dressed woman of a certain age, who said, ‘It’s Michael isn’t it?’ I said ‘Yeah?’ It wasn’t a difficult question. A lengthy pause followed, then she said, ‘We were married for four years.’ Not my finest hour. Out of that, came this song.”
True North is available for pre-order now.

Los Angeles-based alt-folk rock musician Sean Pawling has released his enigmatic new track “Rio Grande”, a soundscape that seems to span across the Rio Grande itself. Sprawling, fun instrumentals run the gamut while Pawling’s vocals bring you a sense of ease and contentment. It’s like a vacation in a song, and – as people who didn’t get that mid-winter break we so desired – we’re all for it!

Dial up internet noises in the beginning, and we’re already in love. Sophie Strauss‘ new video for “I Was” captures the visuals in a very ethereal and light way, much like the vocal delivery. The song itself is an introspective anecdote, while Strauss susses out the complicated feelings she had for and around women growing up. Even if it wasn’t created on film directly, the video is shot with an esthetic as though it was, which goes with the throwback theme of the song. Self analysis sometimes requires us to delve into the past in order to create our futures more fully. Take this track as your opportunity to do so.

Have you ever felt like a foreigner in a situation? Like an outsider who just might not quite fit in? Tuarrah‘s “Ellis” conveys that feeling, which aims to reduce peoples’ fear of “the other”. We are all about conquering those fears this year, and intend to do so with the right soundtrack behind us. Luckily, Danish sound artist Martin Hviid collaborated on “Ellis” for us, to bring a different type of life to the already enticing track by the Brooklyn indie band — and to our resolutions.

Keep your eyes peeled for their upcoming album Canterbury Girls, which is expected in late February.
