The warmly tired vox gradually transition into rapping in Spanish, gently covering the accompaniment. Ice Cream Boy's approach balances between contemporary bedroom pop grooves and a lost sophisti-pop testament, resulting in a hammock discotheque.</div></span><div><br /><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/czs-1Eyv6Sk?si=3UvvunfiBeicGOxL" title="YouTube video player" width="100%"></iframe></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Seattle, WA-hailing artist Tinsley has shared her lush, melodious new song.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>“Distract Me” has a spacious and profound indie rock sound. The breezy, ethereal guitars, soft bass vibration, and dreamy keys create the contemplative mood of the instrumental. Tinsley’s smooth, a bit sentimental singing glides through the song and feels magnetic. This delivery blossoms even more alongside the artist’s honest songwriting<i> “about using romance as a form of self-sabotage,”</i> as she explains.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Wb030PmwQzM?si=xxn8IrY6NpjSJ42e" title="YouTube video player" width="100%"></iframe></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Austin, TX singer-songwriter/artist Devon Grace unveils the fascinating second single from the forthcoming record “Prayer For Wholeness.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>“Surrender” is a celestial combination of bedroom/chamber folk and retro ballad soul. Grace’s gentle, dreamily floating vox give a serene, enveloping feel. The tranquilizing guitar stroking feels like light sea wave patterns, while the rhythm-pendulum slowly swings. It is this analogue cocoon that makes you want to remove all the noise around and relish this warm pleasantness. <br /><div><br /><div><iframe width="100%" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XeIXaG0fgVg?si=LcnmsYtPZX_PyyQa" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>“Heart Won't Breathe” is a bright alternative pop+edm blast. Opening with a seething bass line, boom-bap beat and ambient-ish synths, the song then takes on a sweeping, urbanist drum and bass sound. Cole’s vocal manner lays over the fast-paced instrumentation with epic and memorable melodies. Dissolving in the saving bonds of love, the artist nicely combines a piercing performance with enlivening rhythms.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe width="100%" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xkyA9AsphTs?si=DDZUWXwV0qgzLbpj" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>The melancholic indie understatement of 2004’s original “Fortress” turns into an angelic, funky lullaby. At the same time, this version is saturated with more atmospheric and dancey inclinations. The tender, light guitars, soaring over the jaunty breakbeat, as well as '90s baggy and dream pop influences here, remind of the latest LPs by Hatchie and Pixey. Vitesse X’s vocal touches have a lo-fi softness, causing pleasant head tingling.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pr11DVDqKL4?si=7bOWOpZ63Vc1ZfTX" title="YouTube video player" width="100%"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div>

Featuring a satiny electric keys, '70s-toned vibratory wah filters and a measured drum/bass work, “Good For Your Soul” has you moving lightly to the music.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>“Guess I'm The Bad Guy” is a gluhwein-like, minimalist indie groove. The bass-spring, direct drum pattern, and island-ish, muted strumming create a simple, yet extra pleasant rhythm wheel. The lead guitar has a bit of anthemic, classic rock nods, oddly reminiscent of Slade and Daft Punk at the same time. Charlie Daze’s chill, viscid vocal part floats through the shades of night romance.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_IABsJOp_nI?si=CpUdl7klvcMyiOgg" title="YouTube video player" width="100%"></iframe></div></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Hear an amusing bop, taken from the new album “Circuit Breaker” by Mild Card, the project of UK artist Daniel Markland (Lonesome Heights).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>“A259” is an addictive, pulsing sound in the vein of the ‘90s-‘00s indie electronic scene, some of which was in turn inspired by krautrock and new wave. The lo-fi-ish analog texture and repetitive delivery of the instrumental evoke a groovy reaction. The insistent beat is surrounded by the factory siren-like synths, melodic machine-tool hammers and futuristic tech fx. After the twisting solo at 1:41, you can feel more rock expression. And Markland's post-punk declamation vocals, recounting a strange travel through the south coast of England, are gradually absorbing.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TQZzstGrIvY?si=BwfC_p57ciEBaLuw" title="YouTube video player" width="100%"></iframe></div></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>The chill-hop base and retro-cinematic echoes, filtered through the prism of winter hypnagogic pop, make “Get It Right” a soothing audio blanket. The sliding bass mechanics lushly wrap the leisurely drum pace. The laconic, ASMR-like vocal phrases swim here and there. And the azure, baked, fantasy synth theme on a serene melodic background sets the mood of a memorable warm gathering somewhere between times.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1691516811&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_artwork=false&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe></div></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Brazilian artist Joao Castellani shared the longing and dense second single that will be featured in his new album “CSTLLN.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>“1206” is an ‘80s/‘90s-infused, quirky alt-rock route, also incorporating a combo of grunge and post-punk. The darkened, intertwining Sonic Youth-esque guitars expand from concise dissonance moments to nocturnal, near jangle pop landscapes. The punchy drum groove immediately gives “1206” weight and a feeling of being on the edge of something, reaching a headbanging despair at 02:54. Castellani’s muted, tranquilized falsetto is disorienting and catchy at the same time.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ud_zKdkj4Ok?si=zL_ZvCxk6wx3jGpE" title="YouTube video player" width="100%"></iframe></div></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Mary Middlefield, a songstress out of Switzerland, delivers an incredibly entrancing new composition.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>“Atlantis” is a lushly layered chamber folk canvas. The acoustic guitar wanders among the smooth flicker of the keys, acquiring windy and shadowy baroque-ish intonations. Soon, the pervasive string instruments emerge from the thick textural haze like giant sailing ships. Throughout the entire song, Middlefield’s vocals are mellow and longingly dreamy, with delicate and draping notes, that unfold the artist’s deep and symbolic poetry.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BQaajv9hBO0?si=azZcVoDKByBSIVbr" title="YouTube video player" width="100%"></iframe></div></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>“French Butter Disque De La Frite” offers an absinthe-soaked, obscurely nostalgic, bouncy beat. It feels like The Caretaker got an Akai MPC and old noir chanson tapes. The repetitive, hasteless, bleak piano corridors accommodate the velvety, yearning vocal cuts. The drum loop seems to stumble and can’t balance its step completely, which gives the track an inside-out reality feel. And in the <a href="https://youtu.be/S3vH0VmbvJw?si=m-HifM5y3bcY6yz7" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">video version</span></a>, it all culminates with some psychoactive salsa slot. <br /><div><br /><div><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1681012578&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe></div></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Norwegian guitar player and composer Kim Myhr hypnotizes with the first track of the future album “Hereafter,” recorded in collaboration with experimental/improvisation collective Kitchen Orchestra.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>“VI” is a swirling and saturated take as if from an infinite procession-like jam session. There are fascinating elements here, such as South Asian microtonal and drone music heritage, Bardo Thodol-esque leitmotif, as well as Nordic psychedelic traditions since Parson Sound, Algarnas Tradgard, etc. The trance-inducing rhythm pilotage carries lush streams of synths and strings, which, in addition to the metaphysical realm, are eyeing the modern classical avant-garde one. The delivery of the composition is superbly viscous and immersive.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=3100938945/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://sofamusic.bandcamp.com/album/hereafter">Hereafter by Kim Myhr & Kitchen Orchestra</a></iframe></div></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>

<a name='more'></a>“Flip Flop” mixes leading, lively Cuban melodism and strong bass vibrations. The punchy rhythm root with additional, groovy congas makes your body extremely agile. The acidy synth signals and mechanical voice guide are very convincing and juicy. Fox’d also seasoned it with some addictive, bursting audio spice.<br /><div><br /><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zs1MVtAtyxw?si=t86X534uQRg5M3OA" title="YouTube video player" width="100%"></iframe></div></div><div><span style="background-color: #b2b2b2;"><br /></span>
