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.
“Oh Mother” is out now. Keep up with Emily Jackson here.

Starting September 10th, Los Angeles-based indie duo Swimsuit Issue – beautifully executed by model Miles Garber and David Gagliardi – is hitting the road with alt-pop musician Julietta for a couple of enthralling dates on the east coast. Seeing as their work has been touted by some quintessential names in music – their first show was playing to over 1,200 Catpower fans when Chan fell in love with their first single – Catch them in Brooklyn at Elsewhere (Zone One) on the 10th, and in Philadelphia at Kung Fu Necktie on the 17th. We’re thrilled to see their live performance magic captivate more audiences and expand the fanbase. Start your research below before heading out to one of the shows in a few days!

The first lines of PANDA$ new track “Love After War” feature Anastasia Elliot‘s vocals as she sings of a love/hate relationship. Smooth as honey, the rap verses pick the pace up over simplified instrumentals, a combination that makes the track feel soulful and whole. At times morbid (“cleaning blood stains off the floor”), the song is still incredibly relatable and introspective. Plus, all NBA fans will appreciate that beautiful reference to being “perfect like Jordan and Pippin,” no questions asked.

Looking for a soundscape to give you a break from sticky sweet pop records for a hot second? Craving a voice that is far-reaching, robust, and has just a hint of a scratch to it? Queens-based indie artist Skela is giving us just enough of that uptempo, catchy beat underneath her gorgeous, tranquil vocals with her track “What’s Wrong With Me” and its corresponding, brilliant lyric video. Her vibrant personality comes alive in the visual, the accompanying artistic aspects give it the quirk and rebellion we were hoping for.
So “What’s Wrong With Me”? We’re struggling to figure that out as well (Nothing. There’s nothing wrong with any of this.)

On August 31st, Dangerbird Records brought us a stunner of an EP to enjoy over the holiday weekend. Joel Jeronimo – aka Joel Jerome from the Los Angeles band DIOS and very well-known recording collaborator in the Southern California scene – and Jimi Cabeza de Vaca – aka Jimi Camaro, ex-member of DIOS – teamed up to create a three track mini album called Atlantis Airport 1982. A culmination of realism and fantasy – with a bed of synthesizers to frame it all – the album is pure otherworldly magic.
From the very first airplane-takeoff-sounding notes of “Atlantis” – which makes us feel like we are on an intergalactic spacecraft, if we’re being completely honest – to the slower, more tribal sounds of “Airport”, through to the last lines of far more experimental and jarring track “1982”, we’re smitten. In fact, we are given the impression by this album that we just went back in time to 1982, and hopped into their forward-thinking minds to their idea of the future, and then were spit back out again. It was a quick ride, but well worth it!

Unsettling noise, and then the introduction of the artist’s whispery, light as a feather vocals over contrasting instrumentals mark the beginning of Cream with a K‘s “Terrible Voices”. While the song itself seems to touch on mental health to some capacity – whether the “terrible voices” in her head are symptoms of issues, whether she struggles with anxiety, or whether she is letting peoples’ actual thoughts rotate throughout the day – it’s also eery in its disposition, and perhaps the perfect autumn start for us all.
Keep up with Cream with a K here.
