  • After impressing with “No Secrets” in December, Nolan Garrett returns with another gripping success. “Better Weather” is described by the artist as “about dealing with change and learning to accept it.” A sharp bass line and melodic synths exude an entrancing initial vibe. The synth lead shifts to a backing pad when the vocals emerge, alongside a string-like flourish. As twangy guitar and orchestral hints show throughout the one-minute turn, the track’s melodic power and beauty is apparent. The lushly melodic “Better Weather” is another impressive gem from the Pacific Northwest-raised and UK-residing artist. {Link to listen in bio}
  • Released today, “Animal Crossing” is a captivating track from @straightsexband, a band whose formation traces to October 2018 in Amherst, MA. The act has been accumulating positive buzz as a live act performing throughout the New England area. Listening to “Animal Crossing,” it’s easy to see why. The female-fronted vocals produce a dreamy, entrancing quality that aligns beautifully with the band’s psych-friendly rock approach. “Animal Crossing” shows an endearing, patient progression, with trickling keys and twangy guitar contemplation — leading seamlessly to a gorgeous “in the morning,” chorus, which exudes a timeless sort of psych-folk quality. {Link to listen in bio}
  • Jangly guitars and serene, dream-pop vibes permeate throughout “In Summer,” an enjoyable new track from the band L I P S, based in Falmouth, Cornwall, UK. Rachel Anstis’ glistening vocals are complemented nicely by a variety of guitar tones, ranging from suave jangle-pop fixings to hypnotic, elongated sequences more typical of dream-pop. Tonally, the vocals sit somewhere between Jenny Lewis’ soaring qualities and Courtney Barnett’s rock-forward charisma. Following up the tracks “Apartment” and “Walls,” “In Summer” provides a slice of soaring, summer-y melodic magic that infuses shimmering pop vocal hooks within an engrossing rock arsenal. {Link to listen in bio}
  • “Old Time Movies” is an impressive and lush piece of melodic pop songwriting from @sceenic_. The track initially rides on a straightforward, acoustic singer/songwriter flair — tonally reminiscent of John Mayer. By the one-minute mark, a tropical-tinged array of guitar fluttering and swooning backing vocal effects reveal themselves, firmly touting “Old Time Movies” as a track filled with chilled-out vibes and melodic charm. “Old Time Movies” is very pleasant, easy-listening success from a project that shows ample songwriting talent throughout the four tracks available on Soundcloud. “”Old Time Movies” is nostalgic track that’s themed around admiring vintage movies and the accompanying times from decades ago,” the artist says. “I wanted to strip everything down as much as possible and have the guitar parts be the forefront of the track while adding lots of classic recording elements such as tape saturation, along with lots of wow and flutter.” {Link to listen in bio}
