  • “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}
  • Exuding fun vibes reminiscent of Super Furry Animals, “How ‘Bout You” is a new track from Swedish act Music Teacher. The track represents the second of nine planned singles to release this year from Music Teacher, the result of which will be their debut album Bits and Pieces. “How ‘Bout You” gives off a carefree, stretched-out feeling in the verses, with the “if you wanna dance, you’re out of place,” chorus perking the track up a bit. This is a straight-cutting pop/rock effort with ample replay value; the string adornments and vocal layering play especially well. It’s easy to hit replay on “How ‘Bout You.” {Link to listen in bio}
  • BatWhaleDragon is a lovely, atmospheric electronic project that impressed with the album Zoa Constrictor earlier this year. Now, BatWhaleDragon – the project of Kevin Focke – has another album out, the excellent Fount Everspring. Spanning 23 minutes and seven tracks, Fount Everspring is chock full of atmospheric goodness. “Landing At Arbory Harbour” is among the highlights, a track that builds gorgeously from quaint piano-laden pleasantries to buzzing synth-pop with infectious rhythms. It’s fondly reminiscent of Yellow Magic Orchestra, so it’s no surprise the track was inspired by Japanese synth-pop. Beyond this track, the album is full of quality efforts, with “The Meandering Mellow” and “High Spirits” among them. —{Link to listen in bio}
  • Canadian act @hullo_wyd merge dream-pop with infectious elements of guitar-pop, resulting in a consuming sound with a slick infectiousness. “Cold in the Sky” — which we’re happy to premiere — releases today, and meshes lush vocals with twangy guitars and an all-out dreamy soundscape. “My sound is an expression of honest emotion, sarcasm and anxiety, creating a similar downtempo energy as groups like Men I Trust and Homeshake!” explains Nick Bendzsa, aka Hullo, a Newfoundland-born musician. Lovely, gliding guitar work meshes with serene vocals and lush synths to show a captivating aesthetic that puts Hullo squarely on my radar. {Link to listen in bio}
