  • “Dulcinea” is a lush, melodic gem with jangly guitars and soft synths accompanying the lush vocals of musician, producer, and composer Nick Aponte, behind the project Bed Scene. The release is the title track from Bed Scene’s follow-up EP, releasing on May 30th. The first EP dropped last year and can be heard here. The project takes inspiration from “the sounds of early’ 80s Spanish ballads and lo-fi pop,” with the track serving as “an interpretation of Bed Scene’s influences and an ode to his Hispanic roots.” The track’s slowed-down touch of psychedelia in the closing seconds is another notable success, capping off a melodic and well-produced effort from Bed Scene. {Link to listen in bio}
  • Showing the artist’s melodic dream-pop, folk, and psych leanings, “A Loaded Mind” is a single off Mikhail Galkin’s upcoming Fanta EP. The artist, who previously impressed with tracks like “Waiting in the Wings,” succeeds with hypnotic, exotic allure here. Quaint mellow key-driven contemplation evolves steadily into an infectious groove with calming psych-pop appeal. The song is about the gentrification of many neighborhoods around Toronto, and is musically influenced by Galkin’s recent trip to Turkey and much of the psychedelic music that came out of there during the early ’70s (Baris Manco, Mogollar, Selda Bagcan, etc). Galkin’s reflections on changing neighborhoods are complemented by exotic melodic mystique and always-interesting production. {Link to listen in bio}
  • Showing shades of later era Talk Talk, “Tiny World” is a striking new track from @kaiorion, off his forthcoming album Start to End (out 4/28). The track features a suavely entrancing vocal presence accompanied by fleeting flutes, a jazzy rhythm section, dramatic organs, and a Talk Talk-esque melodic pull. It’s an engrossing effort from start to finish, one that has us anticipating the upcoming full-length. Start to End is the follow-up to Kai’s debut Pots & Pans, which utilized “only found-sounds from different everyday scenes as instruments to accompany vocals.” “In this album, I continue the experimental/found-sound exploration but with a more accessible format, using traditional rock instruments alongside less conventional sounds like wine glasses, found percussion, and beatbox flute,” Kai says. “For example, the main guitar “riff” in Tiny World was played on a homemade cigar-box resonator guitar. I also wanted to go for a more organic, live sound – as opposed to the electronic feel of my last album – and I was experimenting with mic placement and recording everything at a distance within the same space.” {Link to listen in bio}
  • “Only1” is a chilled-out pop track with R&B, hip-hop, and electro feels, a thorough success for the NYC-based @_sophiefay_. The track begins with a mellow, nocturnal synth-laden shimmer, with Fay’s vocals opening to give way to Mighty Da Don, whose chill soul/hip-hop presence plays well amidst the serene beat. Fay’s vocals re-emerge past the one-minute mark, regaining as a consuming force throughout. Hypnotic and melodic, “Only1” has ample replay value. Sophie elaborates on the track: “Only1 might seem like another love song at first, but there’s more to it. Even though Mighty is sort of trying to bring his girl back, I’m more in a playful mood and I don’t even mean what I say. I just want to have some fun and “clear my mind” from all the pressure and anxiety. When writing the song I was really inspired by ASAP Rocky’s Pain cuz it’s one of my favs. The vibe is hidden in the music itself.” {Link to listen in bio}
