22° Halo – “Virtual You”

22° Halo, with this writing now a repeat Buffablog band, brings us their newest single “Virtual You.” We last heard their second newest single “Bird Sanctuary” back in April and, unsurprisingly, we loved it (you can see our review here). The project of Philadelphia based Will Kennedy, he tends to lean heavily into the lo-fi indie sound to great success and this track is no different. Singing about chasing that cruel mistress nostalgia, there’s a twinge of sadness but it pairs nicely with his bare bones guitar twang and his vocals that are moved along by the underlying bass and drums. As always, we’ve included the link to YouTube for your listening pleasure below as well as Bandcamp and Spotify if you’re looking to add (honestly both singles) to your playlist. Be on the lookout for their new album Lily of the Valley, due out November 8 from Far Caspian’s[...]

SOMOH – “Favourite”

Sophia Mohan aka SOMOH (a clever shortening combination SOphia MOHan,) brings us a dandy of an alt indie track in “Favourite;” Produced by Far Caspian (you may have heard of him, we certainly have.) Leaning into more the alt-indie vein, the song is gentle with an acoustic guitar backbone and drums punctuated by fabulous distortion a la indie darlings Soccer Mommy or Jay Som. Speaking to “Favourite” Sophia had this to say: “‘Favourite’ is about trying to feel a sense of validation through ‘fixing’ everyone’s problems but your own. There’s a childlike obsession that comes with having a saviour complex…” You can hear “Favourite” over on Spotify, as well as some of her other tracks including the heartfelt “I’ve Been Saying This.” Let us know what you think via the comments on our social meedz and if you’d like to hear more like SOMOH!

Far Caspian – “Arbitrary Task”

Coming out of the gate strong in 2023, Ireland-based Far Caspian (lead by Joel Johnston) delivers a sublime lo-fi indie gem. “Arbitrary Task” occupies the same place in your head you go when you’re doing laundry or driving to work, but is indisputably the more preferable of the three. Clocking in at just over two minutes, we take a guitar-driven dance to just past the halfway mark to a drum interlude, which then meets back up with the guitar (and Joel’s melodic vocals) to finish things out. As far as comparisons go, listeners of Day Wave or Hazel English would find a lot to enjoy with Far Caspian and I sincerely hope you get a chance to check him out! With a strong following at almost 500k monthly listeners on Spotifiy and the back of Tiny Library Records, keep your ears open for more from FC.
