Courtney Barnett – Nameless, Faceless (SEARING)
By Carter Phillips In the lead single off of her upcoming album Tell Me How You Really Feel, Courtney Barnett delivers a searing address to her internet “critics.” She spends most of the peppy track going back and forth from pitying these sad men to just laughing at the absurdity of their complaints and arguments […]
liv.e – MaryJane[SwarvyBlend]87 (REMARKABLE)
By Ryan Groom Jazz and Neo-Soul artist Liv.e just dropped a new gem on her Soundcloud page. With production hailing from the likes of Swarvy, this new track is coated with dust and character. Take D’Angelo and Jill Scott, and also that old piano from your grandma’s basement, and you’ll get an idea of the […]
James Blake – If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead (DISORIENTING)
By Claire Winegarner James Blake’s new single takes a welcome departure from his previous works. “If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead” is dark and disorienting, with jumpy, pitched vocals and a rich baseline. This track is challenging – even jarring at first – but the complex production will capture the listener and become a […]

Psychedelic, tense, and containing a rousing late-song chorus, High to Death is yet more proof that […]
Dr. Dog – Listening In (PARANOIA)
By Stella Peters While Dr. Dog has always possessed the ability to create groovy, low-fi rock music, their songs are typically more upbeat and optimistic in the face of struggles. Their newest single, “Listening In,” takes a different approach with minor-key melodies draped over a steady drum beat and gritty guitar chords. Scott McMicken sings of […]
Kali Uchis – After The Storm ft. Bootsy Collins and Tyler, The Creator (FUNK TWIST)
By Kaila Echevarría Columbian R&B singer-songwriter Kali Uchis is better than ever on her first single of 2018 “After The Storm”. With the help of funk legend Bootsy Collins and rapper Tyler, The Creator, Kali takes an optimistic look on struggle and pain with lyrics like, “The sun’ll come out. Nothing good ever comes easy, […]
OPAL – COCO MIYAKI ft. Sunny Moonshine (SASSY)
By Lena Howard Get this song ready for your “Summer Night Drives” playlist. While OPAL isn’t super popular among a large population (yet), she sure is one to look out for. Although “Coco Miyaki” dropped in early December of 2017, it will definitely be one of your top summer songs. OPAL is giving you that West […]
