Kady Rain – “R.A.D. Moves”

August 26, 2016

Last time we heard from Texan songstress Kady Rain, we were crushing on her lighthearted single, “All I Ever Wanted.” She’s back with “R.A.D. Moves,” a continuation of her chokehold on the bubblegum pop genre. Fans of Katy Perry, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Miley Cyrus should look no further – “R.A.D. Moves” is about getting out on the dancefloor and just letting loose. “R.A.D. Moves” is available on iTunes.

VHS COLLECTION – “Ghost”

August 26, 2016

“I feel it in my bones, all I need is you” pretty much sums up the yearning vibes on VHS COLLECTION‘s new jam, “Ghost.” “Ghost” is a straight up dance song set to live drums, giving it a unique, organic feel. The song is about the love/hate relationship that New York City folks have with their home town and about the feeling of returning to a home and feeling’s it’s changed somehow. “Ghost” is the first release from VHS’ upcoming release. Till then, check em out on Bandcamp.

Golden Suits – “Gold Feeling”

August 26, 2016

Fred Nicolaus, co-founder of the band Department of Eagles and main force behind Golden Suits, has mostly been known for contemplative, folk-inflected music. His new track “Gold Feeling” is a feel-good jam about just wanting to dance. About the track, Nicolaus says, “I’m always complicating things in music and life by trying to be clever and ‘sophisticated,’ so it felt really good to do something simple and true — I did really want to dance that night.” Fans of retro 70s jams, MGMT, and Phoenix would dig Golden Suits. “Gold Feeling” will be featured on the band’s upcoming release, Kubla Khan, and can be purchased via this link.

KINLEY & Lonely Kid – “Blackbird 2.0”

August 26, 2016

KINLEY (also a member of Hey! Rosetta) and Lonely Kid teamed up to produce “Blackbird 2.0” and we couldn’t be more jazzed. Lonely Kid was inspired by KINLEY’s song “Blackbird,” and created this upbeat dance edit as a result. We are particularly taken with the video, finding the duo biking around their hometown of Prince Edward Island, Canada, highlighting fellow artists and local landmarks. Check out their music video below.

August 26, 2016

Their lustrous mid-tempo rock makes use of gently strummed guitars and strong vocal melodies. Recommended to fans of Band of Horses or Real Estate. Captions is due to put out their latest release, Iterations, soon.

Dutch Criminal Record – “On The Fence”

August 21, 2016

“An indie song about indecision, full of chiming riffs, booming bass and nimble drums.” If this typically describes things that are up your alley, Dutch Criminal Record is the band for you. The quartet’s indie rock is impossibly tight and springy. We think you should start with “On The Fence,” especially if you’re a fan of Foals, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, or Kaiser Chiefs. “On The Fence” is available via Bandcamp.

Ghost Wave – “Honeypunch”

August 21, 2016

Ghost Wave is a New Zealand-based act who have been creating some interesting music. The duo has been exploring the sonic possibilities of their psychedelic sound by adding an electronic focus to their warbling, retro-sounding songs. We think “Honeypunch” is where you should start – swirling organs, pulsing synths, and cosmic vocals pepper the track. Recommended to fans of the 1960s or Tame Impala. Radio Norfolk is out now via Flying Nun Records. Buy it here.

Combining the multi-instrumentalist talents of producers Drew Kramer and George Cochrane, dance act Wild & Free fearlessly explores the space between disco, house, and pop music. The duo puts a strong emphasis on meticulous percussion, dreamy vocals, and a wide spectrum of unexpected textures. We dug “Life On Jupiter” for its good vibes and undeniable beat. “Life On Jupiter” is free if you head over to Soundcloud.

HALFNOISE – “In The Summer”

August 19, 2016

Last time we checked in with HALFNOISE, we were getting down to the shimmery indie-pop of “Know The Feeling” which has since been streamed 250,000+ times. His latest is “In The Summer,” a laid back jam that continues Ferro’s penchant for hooky and summery electrorock. Ferro’s solo sound makes the most of his epic talent on the skins (he used to drum for Paramore) by combining it with electronic elements, and warm, charming vocals. “In The Summer” is available via a variety of formats. Check it out via YouTube below.

Bad Wave – “3AM”

August 19, 2016

We first heard about Miami/LA hybrid act Bad Wave with their exhilarating track, “Extraordinary.” The duo is back, this time with the retro synth tones of “3AM.” Despite living in the same building, the dudes in Bad Wave create music via email, just like synth legends The Postal Service. Their techy-bromance has resulted in the creation of exciting electro-tinged “death reggae” (their words, not ours). Give “3AM” a listen below or via Spotify.

Eriel Indigo – “Perfect Lie (feat. Hannah Fraser)”

August 19, 2016

The profoundly aquatic electronica of tellingly-named Eriel Indigo and her creative partner Hannah Fraser resulted in their chill new track, “Perfect Lie.” The duo states, “…All love is sacred. All life is precious. Let the ocean and her inhabitants remind you how to surrender to the divine flow and to live and let live, to free one another to love who and how we choose, and to not only accept, but embrace each other exactly as we are.” Well said ladies. Their electronica is reminiscent of Ellie Goulding or La Roux. “Perfect Lie” is free if you’re willing to swing by Soundcloud.
