Kraków Loves Adana – “When The Storm Comes (feat. Ruth Radelet & Adam Miller)”

November 1, 2022

Checking back in with our German friends in Kraków Loves Adana, this time on their gothy, dreamy new single “When The Storm Comes.” They’ve teamed up with even MORE friends, Ruth Radelet & Adam Miller (formerly of Chromatics), to create this lovely tune. The song is a simmering slow burn, full of muted guitar strumming, soaring leads, and excellent harmonies that are simply dripping in melody. “Storm” is the debut single from her 7th(!) album, Ocean Flower, due out February 14th, 2023… So be sure to keep an eye out for that. ICYMI, check out our previous Kraków Loves Adana features on “Everything Dies” and “Rapture.” You can also find “When The Storm Comes” on Spotify.

The Mobros – “SSO”

November 1, 2022

Camden, SC-based act The Mobros bring a raucous indie rocking energy to their latest single “SSO.” This duo of brothers brings a unique blend of straight-up indie rock mixed with elements of pop songwriting and blissed-out psychedelia that perfectly compliments the song’s urgent energy. “SSO,” like many recent pieces of art, was certainly influenced by the stifling atmosphere brought on by the pandemic. About “SSO,” The Mobros say: “The pandemic had just begun when I started writing ‘SSO.’ I was chronically struggling with a disorder called depersonalization due to stress and old traumas at the time. When I listen to “SSO” now, it resembles a summary of all the emotions I felt during the pandemic. At the time, here I was locked outside of my body in a world that was physically shutting down due to a virus.” You can also find “SSO” on Spotify.

Pohgoh – “Over/Under”

October 28, 2022

ICYMI, Florida-based Pohgoh‘s been on a bit of a hot streak lately (see our previous features of both “Hammer” and “Weeds“). Like “Hammer” and “Weeds” before it, “Over/Under” carries on the storied tradition of mid-to-late 90s emo – think heartfelt vocals; punchy guitars; and sugar-sweet melodies that, while fun and endearing, can’t help but inspire you to feel real feelings. As an overarching theme across their most recent output, “Over/Under” deals with singer Susie Ulrey’s MS diagnosis and the different ways it’s affected her life. Check out what she has to say below: “‘Over/Under’ is about the random uncertainty of odds while living through a traumatic experience. In the fall of 2018 I spent 3 terrifying weeks in the hospital (including a stint in the ICU) due to a very rare reaction to an MS (Mulitple Sclerosis) treatment I had taken years prior. The odds eventually titled in my favor[...]

The Moonjacks – “Wack”

October 28, 2022

Put a surfy pep in your step with the latest song from Californian act The Moonjacks. You can absolutely hear the California lifestyle beaming through every inch of “Wack” – between the stabby guitar work; punchy drum theatrics; and rowdy vocal presence, this song may as well have been conceived, written, and recorded right at the beach. In case you haven’t gotten the gist yet, The Moonjacks explain this song pretty eloquently, here’s a quote directly from them: “This song is about having a bad day, smoking some weed, surfing, and wanting to escape from life.” Well said. You can find “Wack” (and The Moonjacks’ other jams) on Spotify and Apple Music.

Homes At Night – “Wasted On You”

October 28, 2022

Indiemo duo Homes At Night hit us right where it hurts on their latest jam, “Wasted On You.” The emotion really pours out of this track, bringing to mind thoughts of fresh breakups; forlorn love; and drinking too much in the afternoon. Spitty guitars, passionate vocals, and lots and lots of texture help to give this one a truly heartfelt feel without ever dipping into drippiness – it’s tight, sincere, and most of all, reminds us all that we can always fill that hole in our hearts with something of substance. “Wasted On You” is out now via Hazel Street Records. Peep the song on Apple Music and Spotify too. Homes at Night · Wasted on You

Herbert Walker – “Holesome”

October 28, 2022

If you’re just looking to vibe out after a long day, we suggest the latest jam from Phoenix-based act Herbert Walker. The gently-delayed guitar chords that start the song set a perfect course for the rest of this tune to unfold – between the dreamily baritone vocals, twinkling guitar textures, and perfect drum accompaniment, this one has us melting deep down into our seats. Be sure to stick around for the tasteful brass solo toward the end of the song. Check out “Holesome” on Bandcamp (below) and Spotify too. How to Enjoy by Herbert Walker

Spring Suit – “Fear”

October 26, 2022

“Fear” by Spring Suit is one of those songs so utterly unique, it’s hard to put into words how much we like it. Between the otherworldly arpeggiated opening; the soaring vocals; and the noisy indie rock (if you could call it that) underneath, “Fear” accesses a deep part of your musical palate that you never knew needed itching. Do yourself a favor and give this one a thorough listen-to – we guarantee you’ve never heard anything quite like it. You can also find “Fear” on Spotify and Apple Music. Fear by Spring Suit

Melby – “Other Nations”

October 26, 2022

Stockholm-based quartet Melby are poised to jangle their way into your hearts with the charming indie-pop of their latest single, “Other Nations.” Immediately, a swirling guitar lead caught our ears, laying perfectly overtop a punctuated chord progression. Along the way, Melby has perfected their guitar-pop and still found a way to make you feel something. For example, Melby explains: “I was influenced as well by the book Lonely City, by Olivia Lang. It’s about different artists and their lives, and just generally about loneliness and how it affects people. It felt really resonant, during the pandemic. It was during the second year of [COVID] I read it, and I was really bored of being alone. It was a big comfort to me.” “Other Nations” is out now via Rama Lama Records – you can find the rest of Melby’s discography on Spotify. Rama Lama Records · Melby – Other Nations

Stone Beach – “Everything Expensive”

October 26, 2022

Canadian act Stone Beach are here with the dance-punk greatness of their latest single, “Everything Expensive.” The quartet crafted something squiggly-but-danceable here on “Everything Expensive” – with it’s thumping bass presence and swimmy guitar stabs, “EE” feels like a neurotic blast of anxious and urgent energy… But we still want to dance anyway. Be sure to stick around for the absolutely blistering guitar solo that comes out of nowhere. About the song, Stone Beach says: “Everything is so freaking expensive, this song is about it. Waking my feet, while breaking my knees, around the clock I am so spent, around the clock I’m running out of tolerance.” You can find “Everything Expensive” on Spotify and Apple Music as well.

Goldhaus – “Fell”

October 26, 2022

Tasche & the Psychedelic Roses – “Dying Art”

October 26, 2022

Tasche & the Psychedelic Roses hit us up with their new single, “Dying Art” and we were immediately drawn to its whimsical vibe. With jaunty guitars, silky harmonies, and a retro sensibility that never sounds dated, Tasche & co. whip up a magical brew of rock-n-roll flavored indie with hints of psychedelia. Stick around for the swirly guitar theatrics and slow-down bridge that ultimately winds its way back into an ooh-laden symphony. You can also find “Dying Art” on Spotify.

Jack Moody x Modern Aerobics – “TELEPHONIC”

October 24, 2022

Here’s another banger from Jack Moody (as Modern Aerobics). “TELEPHONIC” speaks for itself – with its neurotic Casio-keyboard beat and urgent guitar strumming, it brings to mind gothy 80s post-punk acts while still keeping a 2022 bedroom-pop aesthetic. It even has an urgent, almost somber tone to it, perfect for these moody (pun intended) October evenings. About the song, Jack explains: “This is a beat driven anthem about how relationships are controlled by social media, technology, and telephones. I wanted the song to be intense, melodic, and drowned out with delayed vocals” ICYMI, we’ve also featured a few of Jack’s songs before – be sure to check out “Touch You” and “Sorority Girl” as well.| You can find “TELEPHONIC” on Spotify.

Jack Vamp & The Castle of Creep – “On The Run”

October 23, 2022

Belgian wunderkind Arthur Boussiron is the voice you hear on the latest Jack Vamp & The Castle of Creep single, “On The Run.” With the brattiness of Parquet Courts mixed with a bit of post-punk and new wave influence, “On The Run” sounds like a fuzzed-out expression of jaunty angst. Guitar noise fills every crevasse in this three-minute-long jam, full of Boussiron’s quirky yelp; lightly-effected guitar acrobatics; and just-enough 1980s sensibility to scratch that retro itch (without losing it’s 2022 flavors). You can also find “On The Run” on Spotify. Jack Vamp · Jack Vamp & The Castle of Creep – On The Run

Troy Braunstein – “Hypocritical Complaints”

October 23, 2022

Big, twangy guitar riffs are the main flavor here, but don’t forget to also bop your head along to Troy’s sugar-sweet melodies (of which there are many) too. You can also find “Hypocritical Complaints” on Spotify.

Pet Snake – “Jacket”

October 23, 2022

Liverpool-based act Pet Snake (aka songwriter Evelyn Halls) finally struck out on her own and happened to create something magical. “Jacket” is her latest offering, a song that pairs influences ranging from folk; to bedroom-pop; to alternative music. Utilizing a canned Casio beat with more organic elements like guitars and a thumping bass, the song makes use of of memorable melodies; squiggly synth textures; and even a few ooh-oohs for good measure. There’s even an accompanying music video that perfectly represents the song’s uplifting and vaguely-nostalgic vibes. You can also find “Jacket” on Spotify.
