  • Minnesota group @sleepingjesusmusic show a dreamy, melodically captivating soundscape on new track “Lay.” The track’s music video – depicting a “loneliness cure” – does well in capturing the track’s retrospective, yearning feel. Aesthetically, there’s a lush tone throughout reminiscent of Washed Out’s more subdued efforts. The transition around 01:09 features a bass-driven transition amidst the backing synths, with an ensuing vocal bridge relaying an infectious change of pace. Sleeping Jesus’ “Lay” impresses with both melodic and atmospheric charm. {Link to listen in bio}
  • “The Natural Way” is a brisk rocker from @feelium, a duo from Malmö, Sweden. Perky vocals and spirited guitar flourishes comprise the first verse, a catching section, though it’s the chorus where the track really shines. The arrival of synths at the 40-second mark signals a new, melodic bounce that coincides with greater variety in the vocals. Following is a hook – “what is wrong with me and you?” – that reminds of Super Furry Animals’ colorful psych-pop. “The Natural Way” is abundant with memorable hooks and engaging transitions, cementing Feelium as hook-savvy songwriters worth following. Per the project, the track is “a fuck off to my x-partners persistent preaching about polygamy as the ”natural” way of life cried out on top of a ’90s guitar pop jam.” Photo by Emma Watson
  • The stylish “Fauxtown” is a recent track from @kinkanyon, the Canadian quartet that impressed last year with “Until There Was You.” “Fauxtown” touts a vibrant, funk-tinged rhythm section and psych-friendly guitars, amidst a spirited vocal presence — alternating between suaver verses and an effervescent, higher-pitched chorus. Past the three-minute mark, swirling guitars and organs combine for a striking, mesmerizing psych-rock jam. This instrumental section leads cohesively until one grand final go-round for the main hook. “Fauxtown” is a super fun track, accompanied by a great music video that serves as a disco-infused throwback to ’80s Bollywood cinema. “As far as the recording process, it was done live off the floor to provoke a certain kind of impulsive, spontaneous energy that would permeate the recording – a quality and presence that are found on some of my favorite records,” says guitarist/vocalist Dan Rocque. “There is a cosmic, psychy breakdown in ‘Fauxtown’ which I believe wouldn’t have been possible through overdubs as it was manifested through everybody’s connection and vibe in that moment. The stars had aligned, and I’m thrilled we were able to capture it.” The band’s new EP, Trace of Love, releases on March 22nd {Link to listen in bio}
  • “The One” is the fantastic debut single from Portland (OR) duo @mod_feels. The track touts a bouncy, synth-forward pull that combines with jangly guitars and serene vocals — resulting in a sound that’s parts deeply nostalgic while also sounding fresh. Think TOPS with a bit of an electro-pop addition. Preceded by some more energetic guitar twangs, the synth-forward solo at 02:55 also captivates. This is a fully engaging track that we’re happy to premiere. Modern Feelings describe the track as “about self-care and the realization that it is your own responsibility to make yourself happy in life. While friends, lovers, and experiences come and go you are the only constant. You need a life that that’s truly yours. A life that you design.” {Link to listen in bio}
