trudy and the romance, “the original doo-wop spacemen”

In honor of the month of love – and perhaps also because of the act’s name – Trudy and The Romance have released a super romantic video for their single “The Original Doo-Wop Spacemen”. Taken from the Liverpool-based act’s first album Sandman, the song is a slowly drifting dream, with a visual that packs that with a bit of a punch. Take, for example, the high level of visual effects to recreate each scene like a movie masterpiece.

Actually, if you watch the video and you understand sarcasm, you’ll laugh at that last bit. And you’ll truly enjoy this video, as it’s packed with that beautiful DIY love that will make you reminisce on simpler days.

It’s been a few days since UPSAHL released her music video for “Drugs”, but we figured today was the perfect day to chat about it. As she assures us she’s “not tryin’ to make a friend or fall in love,” we’re giggling at the quirky nature of the song, while simultaneously moving to the smooth instrumentals. The Arizona native possesses a soulfulness to her vocals that is enviable, and we would be lying if we told you this wasn’t going on our new party playlist. Plus the video is shot so beautifully, it makes us feel like going back to our youth and partying more than we allowed ourselves to before.

Last week, our favorite SoCal brother duo Mating Ritual recently released their latest single “Falling Back”, an easy going track that . The accompanying music video – which was released at the same time – is this quirky, enjoyable gem of a video. Between shots singing in the dark, surrounded by smoke with colorful backlighting lies the open display of life as a driver (Uber, Lyft, a taxi, or what have you) and all of the monotonous, ridiculous, and entertaining moments that accompany it.

We’re fans. Your turn to convert.

Alt-pop rock artist Haas comes at us today with a visual to complement her beautiful debut single “Behind Those Eyes”.

Theatrical, a feeling of longing ever-present, this video will make you evaluate your own love life. We’re almost certain of that.

Portland-based groove folk project Lili St Anne – comprised of Elizabeth Fagan, Jason Miller, and Sam Arnold – has created a sound that is soulful, soothing, and intensely ethereal all at the same time. Throughout the duration of their track “Wolves”, we fall more and more in love with Fagan’s vocal range, as she tugs – no rips – at all of our emotions with her words. The video that accompanies the track mirrors its disposition, dark with hints of glitter that bring with them that wonderful voice.

Dublin-based art-folk brother duo Richie and Jamie Martin have created quite a bit of magic with their music under the moniker Cry Monster Cry. Today, the Richey McCourt remix of their track “Citadel” is released, with slight edits made to the original visuals. Neither track is better than the other, a completely different set of emotions associated with each soundscape. Though we will admit that the poignant words wrench at your heart ever the same.

Try it on for size!

Today, singer/songwriter Kiki Halliday released both the track and the accompanying visual for her single “Majesty”. Soulful, raspy vocals electrify the track, simplified acoustic guitar that sets the songstress in center stage from the first notes of the track. The video itself is comprised of varying camera angles highlighting Halliday’s relaxed live performance vibes, as she sings in a seemingly empty room. The dusty colors and soft shading set the tone for the track itself, and we’re certain this is the beginning of a long, beautiful road for Halliday.
