Full disclosure: I fucking love The Districts. They are poised to be the next big thing in rock with a distinct style that borders on the edges of punk, folk and arena rock. This song, “Violet,” absolutely blew me away when I saw them in…
Belong – Fyfe ft. Kimbra
Fyfe’s latest album The Space Between is a fantastic effort that leaves you wowed and wanting more. “Belong,” featuring the vocal talents of Kimbra, is the cherry on top of this modern and jazzy collection of songs. I think we all know by now that…
Asido – Purity Ring
Well look at what we have here: A Monday release of some new Purity Ring material, two years after their last release. “Asido” is a moody, piano driven track that feels way more like an emo song than a dance track. The lyrics are as…
Necessary – San Mei
I’m loving this new stuff from San Mei. This four song EP is a pretty big departure from her previous work with a much bigger sound fit for arenas. Her voice carries so well through some pretty intense guitar riffs on each song. “Until You…
Emerging Adulthood – Dan Croll
Dan Croll’s second LP Emerging Adulthood is an on- the-nose title for an album about coming of age not only Dan himself but for his music as well. His first album, Sweet Disarray, was as good of a debut as you could expect but was,…
Cost of the Summer – Night Things
Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist just gets me, man. Night Things’ “Cost of the Summer” popped up on this weeks iteration and, surprise, its damn good. It’s got a slick 80’s vibe with shimmering keys and some clean reverb guitar. Vocals are killer throughout the track,…
Anything I Say To You Now – Ryan Adams
So as I peruse through the newest and best albums of 2017, I realized I hadn’t listened to Ryan Adams release, “Prisoner,” from February! I gargled and cackled as if I were some sort of disgusting monster! I’d found a new release midweek that I’d…
Three Futures – TORRES
It has been incredible to see how far TORRES has come since the release of her first LP in 2013. Her defining characteristic is her deep, sultry and emotive voice that I found so disarming when seeing her live that it took awhile to fully…
Inside My Head – Toro y Moi
I think I’m on a real funk groove right now and the bass is too damn hot lately. “Inside My Head,” is one of my top picks from Toro y Moi’s new album release. Its got such a simplistic beat with this bass line that’s…
Sit Next To Me – Foster The People
Foster The People have been stringing us along with jam after jam lately and today’s release of their new single, “Sit Next To Me,” is no different. It’s a warm story about peeping your love interest’s steez (see urban dictionary) at the bar and making the…
