The Story of Dieter’s ‘In Due Time’
Not many artists get to make a second first album. But looking at the musical career of artist Dieter, whose aptly named EP, In Due Time , was recently released, that’s exactly what he’s done. Coming back from a lengthy hiatus, Dieter has changed not just as a musician, but as a person. He cites […]
Trentemøller goes out on a limb “In The Garden”
Danish composer and producer Trentemøller combines his electro-pop genius with the indie-pop vocals of Lina Tullgren to create a dreamy electro-pop masterpiece. The first few bars of “In The Garden” make the listener think they are about to dive into an upbeat bop. But they will soon find that Trentemøller waxes reflective once again. […]
Rest in the Power and Pain of Sam Lynch’s “Not My Body”
“Not My Body” is a tragedy in the best way. It is the story of life into death, of feeling so disconnected from the only world in which we live. There are limited words to describe the beauty and ache of this song; if I had to try, I would say it’s eery, it’s painful, […]
No Shade, “All Love” for Kayla Rae
A beat. A bop. A truth. All apply to Kayla Rae’s newest release “All Love.” It’s quick and fun to listen to, and more than that, it has a good message. Despite numerous stories of wretched breakups or unrelenting heartbreaks, this song respects the relationship and its ending. It is accepting, moving on, and making […]
Feel the Beat of “Bleeding Orange” by Dave Tamkin
It’s raining outside right now. Fitting for Dave Tamkin’s new song “Bleeding Orange.” Not because it’s terribly sad, but because it sets a powerfully pensive scene, a space for dreaming and reflection. This song asks for that with its honest exploration of the unseen challenges of music and fame. I am taken back to the […]
The Story of Sophie Auster’s Cover Of “Take Me Home”
Accompanying herself with nothing but piano and a delicate, wistful voice, Sophie Auster creates a magical cover of Tom Wait’s “Take Me Home.” A song that, in itself, is so musical, so delicate, and so stunning it sounds timeless and heavenly, just became even more emotional. “Take me home you silly boy Put your arms […]
Bui’s “Something Else To Talk About” Is A Heady Dose Of Rock Nostalgia
Ready for a dose of nostalgia? Bui’s new single, “Something Else to Talk About” is a perfect 90’s track, with an easy going, slacker vibe that defined the music of that decade. The sound of this track feels perfectly at home in a 90’s time capsule. Upon first listen, I thought I was listening to […]
Eighty Ninety Will Be the Soundtrack to “10k Summer Nights” This Year
I don’t really consider myself a hipster. Sure, I wear glasses, but that’s because I actually, desperately need them to see things. I happen to own three acoustic guitars and a banjo, but that’s because I really use them all for different things. Yeah, I wear more flannel than the average person, but I wear less flannel […]
Language Art’s “Top Of The Top” Will Enthrall You
“Top Of The Top” is a soulful ballad with angelic, ethereal vocals that make the listener absolutely float along with where the band wants to take them. I listened to this song while waiting for a flight in Korea. The song connected with me on a deep level, not only speaking to the quiet, passive […]
Anna Rose’s “The Chariot” Will Get Your Heart Racing
I wasn’t angry, and then I listened to “The Chariot” and suddenly wanted to be. The opening guitar is reminiscent of the best of early 2000s country. The song follows a woman deciding to finally save herself as she slowly breaks away from societal expectations. Singer Anna Rose has been on the scene for a […]
