  • We’re happy to premiere the very catchy “Heart of Elation,” a track from Evan Isaac - @streamfunk.alchemist . The Pittsburgh-based artist sports a bit of Todd Rundgren-esque charm in the vocals’ faultless alignment with the bouncy keys/synths. In terms of the synth work, with its bursting moments of variation and charisma, in alignment with the perky vocals, I’m also reminded of Of Montreal / Kevin Barnes. Regardless, Evan Isaac impresses here in various facets. There’s a flash of ominous synths, around 01:09, that plays with a mysteriously gripping allure. Elsewhere, vibrant and colorful synths mesh with escalating vocal charm, like at 01:25. I’m very excited to hear more from Evan Isaac. {Link to listen in bio}
  • @peregrinedive, the project of Felipe Javier Sanchez, impressed with the track “Fly Low” last month. The project just released the Swoon EP, further showing an integration of psych-rock and electro-pop tendencies. Among my favorites on the EP is the closing track “Why’d You Invite Me If You Know How I Get,” which develops with thunderous appeal between lusher, spacey synth-pop moments and psych-rock rhythmic hints. The vocals ascend in pitch around the one-minute mark, resulting in a gleefully contagious feel. On that track, the artist says the following: “The inspiration for this song comes from an expression in Spanish “para que me invitas si sabes como me pongo”; which translates to the title of this track. Sonically, I was influenced by listening to a lot of Legend of Zelda and combining it with doing a modern take on disco-pop.” {Link to listen in bio}
  • “Your Halo’s Bright” is a melodic track from Sydney rockers Fallon Cush, off their new album Stranger Things Have Happened. Singer/songwriter Steve Smith touts a soaring lead that meshes warmly with the pleasant guitar-driven chord changes. A twinkling bridge at the 50-second mark, with glistening guitars, builds back seamlessly into the initial guitar-pop melody. Fallon Cush show a timeless vein of rock throughout Stranger Things Have Happened, comparing to acts like Wilco in their ability to merge rock sounds of the past and present. {Link to listen in bio}
  • “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}
