Though we have to wait until November 16th to add Monica Aben‘s “The Beginning of Things” to our music library, you don’t see us over here pouting. That’s because the Venice-based songstress is sharing her new single exclusively with imperfect Fifth. Right here, right now.
“The Beginning of Things” is a delicate love song, poetic and intense in its existence. It examines a love in relation to the stars, a song that’s so lovely it’s impossible to ignore. Never mind the piano work involved, which is so mellifluous we want to dance on each note.
Check it out – and prepare to appreciate whatever love you have right now – below!
Keep up with Monica Aben here.

Los Angeles-based musician Jordan Vincent released an alluring, intense beauty of a track in latest single “Sister Jill”, which seems to be his version of a soulful rock ballad. Vincent displays his gorgeous, multi-faceted vocals while crooning, a hint of 50’s sock hop sauntering in while the guitars whir with bravado. Soft, endearing, without ever losing its rock roots.
We’re impressed, and you will be too.

Grand Rapids-based rock quartet The Legal Immigrants – comprised of Boots, Ben Taber, Kevin Kitsch, and Marcus James – has created a pretty substantial fanbase since 2015’s Drugs to Roses, and rightfully so. Latest track “Hang On” tells the story of a band that has only gained momentum and broadened in talent since then, as the toe-tapping beat and whirring guitars get you moving. After yesterday’s election especially, this track should be on everyone’s soundtrack, as it is a call for unshakable perseverance.
Put it on, play it loud, and amp up your day!

Just in time for Election Day (GO VOTE!), Santa Monica-based singer/songwriter Mason Summit has released his tantalizing new track “Thoughts & Prayers”. A bit tongue in cheek as it were, the percussion is standout as it leads you into a song that will make your hips sway. His smoky, gorgeous vocals dance over a soundscape that plays with tempo in an alluring way. The instrumentals themselves set the tone for a picture perfect autumn evening, though the lyrics will definitely make you swoon even more if you’re a little perturbed at our current political situation.

Today, Berlin-based alternative indie pop quartet The Flavians – comprised of Liam Blomqvist, Anna Vaverková, Tom Wills, and Joakim Jägerhult – releases their latest single “Non Stop Fun (All I Wanted)” along with an entertaining throwback of a music video. The song itself has vocal parts reminiscent of 60’s folk/pop stars, the tongue-in-cheek video comprised of scenes of a man’s life that one might find particularly dull – traveling on public transit, getting yelled at at the office, getting a drink in a dark bar – that, when etched together, tell a story most anyone can relate to.
See what happens below!

Indie rock trio Vern Matz – comprised of Danny Belgrad, Michael Lituchy, Noah Silvestry – may hail from New Haven, Connecticut, but their songwriting hits you at your core no matter where you spent your formative years. Explains the band of the track:
“Systematically Gone” was recorded in a small town in Connecticut, where we lived off of vegetarian chili for a few days. It was produced and mixed by Peter Katis, a longtime collaborator with The National and dedicated soup consumer. In “Systematically Gone”, our character has reached a breaking point, and it’s unclear what the next step forward is. It’s like being in an ice cream shop where all the flavors are sherbet and you hate sherbet and your relationship is falling apart.
If you’ve ever questioned a decision or two in life – and I know we all have – this song will be something you hold close. It’s meandering, mellifluous soundscape will keep you feeling safe and warm in the autumn months, as you seek to clear up whatever road blocks you may be experiencing. Check it here, first, below!
