evan petruzzi, “sideshow”
Long Island-bred singer/songwriter Evan Petruzzi has a new track out called "Sideshow", a twang-infused pop song with a pace that will make even the most cynical of humans - especially at the holidays - tap their toes. As we listen to the building instrumentals and...
fleurie, “love has no limits”
If you're looking for a cinematic chord progression, bedazzled with ethereal vocals reminiscent of Imogen Heap, then Fleurie's new track "Love Has No Limits" is the way to go. Anthemic from just the title of the track, this new single takes its time reaching its...
arthhur, lost in the walled city
Chicago-based art rock trio Arthhur - comprised of Mike Fox, Matt Cian, and Luke Dahlgren - released their fourth record on December 14th, and we're really digging it. The 6 track tape is titled Lost In The Walled City, and is packed to the brim with attitude and a...
bellhouse, “coping”
Future Swedish pop icon Bellhouse creates an ethereal, lighthearted soundscape with "Coping", a track that, honestly, isn't as lighthearted as it comes across as at first listen. Packing in meaningful lyrics aided by the fluidity of her airy vocals, there is...

casey dubie, “silver”
The visual of chairs being set up in the round is slightly peculiar to the untrained eye, setting a microphone up while it pendulum swings above a stool, amps being set up. Casey Dubie's new video for "Silver" was strikingly shot by Kayhl Cooper, each frame flooded...
pale mara, “not like i used to”
If you're a fan of classic 60s musicians like Bob Dylan, James Taylor, and the like, then Pale Mara is a musical act you'd be sure to love. Feel the vintage-inspired work give you slight goosebumps as you drive through the cold(er) weather, taking in the gorgeous...
andrew weiss and friends, “monochrome”
With a hard-hitting, percussion-driven entrance, Andrew Weiss and Friends make a splash with new single "Monochrome". Not only that, but the brand new accompanying music video is quite brilliant, if you ask us. As Weiss' soothing voice carries you on a very specific,...
oij, “seconds away from love”
The seriously talented OIJ is taking centre stage with another new single release. He has had great successes with his Wabi Sabi EP and "Back To The Start" featuring GIA KOKA, and now brings us "Seconds Away From Love." It takes a fresh direction to some of his...
slenderbodies, “king”
In the mood for a staccato, soulful, slow burner to really enjoy as you wind down this week? How about trying "King" by slenderbodies on for size? The lightweight feel of the vocals is absolutely divine, with little hints of MJ strewn about, while the instrumentals...
izzy escobar, “warrior”
Singer/songwriter Izzy Escobar has been through quite a bit to get to where she is in life, let alone in her music career. With vocals that incite goosebumps, she approaches her work with a sense of self that is hard to find within today's bevy of artists. Her new...

jane frank, “fight or flight”
Indie rock musician Jane Frank is ending 2018 on a particularly high note, with the release of her stunning, layered new track "Fight or Flight". Soft - like the caress of your fingertips on your forearm - her voice carries lightly over the instrumentals, creating a...
fox and bones, better land
Folk pop duo Fox and Bones - comprised of Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore - lays the groundwork for a fun, adventure-filled album from the very first lines of Better Land's initial track "Little Animal", which boasts the feeling of a mid-album track, tempo having...
zendr & james chatburn, “simply no better”
Shining brightly over on Absent Mind this week is the new single from ZENDR and singer/songwriter James Chatburn. It is the second time ZENDR has released on the newly established label, and we love this latest offering. Once again ZENDR brings out soulful,...
mona on the radio, “bright blue bathrobe”
Looking for something silly and perhaps a little sticky sweet in its pop-infused sound? We're actually taken with the upbeat production of Mona On The Radio's "Bright Blue Bathrobe", which reminds us of Owl City - meets - Weird Al, with a twinge of hip hop. And if you...
