  • “Blush” is the fantastic debut single from Love, Sophie, an artist presently based in Los Angeles. Touting a dreamy, bedroom-pop vibe, “Blush” does well in showing the artist’s serenely melodic pull. Love, Sophie describes the track as “a satire of your basic, emotional, dramatic girl. Instead of portraying that girl as ‘high maintenance’ or ‘crazy,’ I wanted the result to feel honest and liberating.” The “don’t make me blush,” hook plays with enjoyable yearning, as mellow guitars and synths swirl around her longing vocals, echoing vibes reminiscent of Clairo. Love, Sophie moved to LA when she was eighteen, after honing her songwriting and performing talents in Denver, aided by bass legend Kenny Passarelli. Now twenty-two, she crafted “Blush” in her studio apartment turned recording studio. “I find the whole process of home recording fascinating,” Love, Sophie says, “It’s so immediate. You can literally feel an emotion, like ‘you don’t make me blush anymore’ after a glass of wine on your couch, and create a music journal entry while you’re at the height of that feeling.” Love, Sophie plans to release a series of singles in early 2020. {Link to listen in bio}
  • We’re happy to premiere “This House,” the debut single from San Francisco-based duo @ovrgrwnmusic. Driven by an ’80s soundscape featuring a crawling synth-bass and glistening leads, the track is also carried by a suavely melodic vocal presence and guitar additions. The “you can help me breathe,” hook plays well alongside the clanging guitar entries, punctuated by a nostalgic synth. The duo note a strong influence from “’80s influenced soundtracks (Stranger Things, Drive, The Guest),” — and that’s certainly evident on this stellar debut. I’m looking forward to more from this rising duo. {Link to listen in bio}
  • Showing a dark rock sound with vibes reminiscent of The Cure and John Maus, “My Graveyard Grl” is a new track from goth-pop/post-punk project @vedawave, fronted by multi-instrumentalist Dominic Antonio Sepúlveda. Based out of Birmingham, UK, VEDA has supported acts like Fufanu, White Fang, and Art School Girlfriend. VEDA released the Sweetheart EP this past April 1st, on Brooklyn based lo-fi pop label Birthdiy. “My Graveyard Grl” will certainly continue the project’s ongoing momentum into the new year. The track’s first half touts a nonchalant post-punk showing in the verses, with the “her body is a graveyard,” hook playing with atmospheric appeal. The second half sees an expansion of guitar, with soaring guitar leads adding an exciting, electrified edge. A bass-heavy conclusion wraps this gem up tidily. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what VEDA churns out next. — Link to listen in bio
  • “Insecurity” is a consuming track released today from @colorcard, a band that formed in Chicago by longtime friends Kyle Irwin (guitar, synth, vocals) and Eden Sierotnik (guitar, synth, vocals) in 2009. Bassist Eric Streichert joined in 2014. An effective rhythmic change-up at the two-minute mark gears up a nice transition, where eerie synth pads and post-punk bass-y reverberations linger alongside serene vocals. The aesthetic and instrumentation from the get-go remind of Wild Nothing, as the vocals cast a melodic glow in the alignment with the ghostly synths and guitar twangs. Touting a haunting aesthetic with post-punk yearning and effective guitar/synth interplay, “Insecurity” is a stellar release from Color Card. {Link to listen in bio}
