Boston/Los Angeles-based surf pop collective Aüva has been making sweet, sweet tunes for us since they formed in early 2015 while studying at Berklee. Their second full-length album, All Good Things, shows the progression of their music, bathing its listener in beautiful harmonies and intricate guitar work. All Good Things hits the airwaves in its entirety on September 14th, but we’ve got a taste a little early with the exclusive premiere of “One Last Time”
Check out Aüva as they play Rec Center in LA on September 16th, and pre-order All Good Things here.

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.

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.)

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.

Goth pop musician So Below has recently released new song “Drive” that includes a splash of upbeat indie pop. This song has a calm/mellow beat with smooth vocals sounding similar to the vocals of singer/songwriter Ingrid Michaelson. Madeline North, the sole creator of So Below, uses her unique vocals in each song to draw in listeners from any genre. You can also hear her vocal similarities to ‘Drive’ in her other tracks ‘Visions’ and ‘Close’. ‘Drive’ not only is the perfect song to play with your windows rolled down, but also the perfect song to play on a rainy day!
Make sure you check out all of So Below’s present and past music because you will not be disappointed!
