Rah-C is a 21 year old artist out of New York.

In the past, Rah-C has been mainly known as a rapper, but recently he dished up an infectious little lo-fi treat for his niche, yet rabid fanbase on Youtube.

The track is fresh, and is the 2nd 60 second episode from a string of short songs he’s been creating as an experimental exercise into a new world of sound. You can check out the 1st episode here, and the 3rd one here, but today we’ll be diving into episode #2 — entitled “Rest Of Our Lives”.

Yesterday, I reached out to Rah-C to see what was up with this unexpected departure from an art form he so long stayed loyal to. This is what he had to say: “I was rapping forever, but as a result of I guess maturing and growing I’ve dove head first into this new world, but no one has really heard it yet at all. My next project is a straight up alt-pop record (away from rapping) so it’s all new territory for me.”

When Rah-C dropped his debut alt-pop gem “Rest Of Our Lives” on Youtube, he told his base to share it with their loved ones. We think he’s right. It’s quite simply some poignant lo-fi alt-pop emitting a new love for unrestricted beauty and radical vibratory sensations. It’s some very special and unique shit. We just need a longer version, please. :p

We’ll keep you updated as Rah-C explores this new path of experimental lo-fi music, and continues to evolve as an artist. In the meantime, keep up with him on Instagram.

Kate Brunotts

Northern Virginia native — Kate Brunotts — is just your typical indie bedroom producer who up and moved to Brooklyn at just 18 to pursue a career in music, and fulfill her innermost dream.

This particular track “Bicycle Spokes” is about feeling kinda empty inside, yet still somehow looking like you’ve got it all together on the outside.

Anyway, it’s pretty much perfect in our humble opinion. Quintessential lo-fi bedroom pop music from the year 2019. The renaissance of indie diy music.

The eclectic percussion seems to drive a hypnotic chorus of poignant lo-fi vocals that we really do think seems to transcend both space and time. It’s a perfect mixture of indie lo-fi pop infused with a strong dose of experimental brilliance.

Kate produces everything from her little apartment bedroom. And we feel her sound is quite reminiscent of a sound that can only grow from a real, and authentic source. Here, take a listen for yourself.

Indigo Bunting

Indigo Bunting is an experimental indie pop trio out of Austin, Texas — mixing up catatonic tracks that glisten of gold and seem to radiate vibrations of a most pure, and sublime nature.

If you’re into psychedelic music from the sixties, then you’ll most assuredly fall in love with this magnificent gem from an outfit who’re into the groovier things in life.

You might as well give up bud, you’ll never be this cool…

Indigo Bunting’s “White Noise (Don’t Be a Winner)” is a finely tuned ensemble of a multidimensional melody that seems to come from a different, and more nostalgic place and time. It’s quite simply, bonkers — total madness. But madness of an overwhelmingly beautiful, cool, and refined nature mind you.

And now, without further ado, the time has come to soak in the radical vibrations of “White Noise” — and become infected with a sound that will most definently alter the trajectory of your life.

You too, will become just a little bit cooler by listening to this song. This, we promise you.

Lani Lou

Lani Lou is one of those mysterious bedroom artists who seems to emit a certain nostalgic emotion capable of melting even the hardest of hearts…

Her tender vocals and poignant delivery floats through the fabric of the universe like a timid child attempting to find her way back home.

Lani’s lo-fi music is so delicate, so irresistibly beautiful, you can almost hear the sound of a breaking heart as her intricate melodies unfold like a lazy brook, trickling down a gentle hillside.

Be sure to check out Lani’s latest tracks on Soundcloud, and please give her a follow on Instagram. You’ll be sad if you don’t.

Alex McArtor

Alex McArtor is a budding indie pop artist from the hot and sweaty metropolis of Dallas, Texas.

“Last Blur in the City” is a sublime release off her debut EP, Spoken Word. It’s a winsome slow dance into the heart of a lonesome land filled with broken, empty people.

Alex was inspired by the timeless classic, Lost in Translation. She had this to say about her latest project: “I wanted to write something that would fit in the soundtrack, but would also address some of the tensions that you feel in our largest urban environments.”

Keep up with Alex on Instagram, and be sure to listen to her new album on Soundcloud.

San Francisco based Marinero is a solo project dreamt up by Bay Area artist, Jess Sylvester.

Marinero’s music is simmering of lo-fi indie infused with some subtle hints of Latin roots music. In short, it’s a catatonic mixture of long hot sweaty days, and cool candlelit nights.

Marinero is an eclectic madman of many sounds and has taken part in groups that delve into a spectrum of genres ranging from punk to sampledelia.

Francisco Y Madero (the precursor to Marinero) was the start of the evolution of Marinero’s cholo-fi signature style of taking samples of Latin roots music and mixing in some of his very own cosmic pop flavors rooted in bossa nova and Tropicália.

Marinero’s new album is out now and is streaming everywhere. Check it out now on Spotify.

“Plain Jane”

“Plain Jane” is an experimental indie folk track wreaking of the Velvet Underground and Tommy James and the Shondells. It’s a psychedelic throwback to an acid-soaked time now dead and gone.

The iridescent vocals seem to invite the listener on a dreamy lo-fi adventure dripping with psych-folk brilliance and a nice cool buzz. It’s truly some premium shit.

However, in reality it’s a song about a girl, existential dread, and coffee. Now sit back, burn one down, and prepare to have your mind melted by the freshest sound in town. Here is, hhhhhh…

“Bartender”

“Bartender” is the debut track from Bug Martin’s upcoming record which was released back on July 26th by Pyrrhic Victory Recordings.

After spending several grim years germinating in Baltimore’s bizarre arts scene where Bug wrote and recorded several self-released albums, his new album explores genre-bending tales of hapless love and drunken wisdom.

Bug is a storyteller born in the basement of New Jersey, he’s a singer-songwriter who explores inner space to create moody, alternative-folk music steeped in Americana, blues, and roots music. Bug’s songs evoke existential and confessional themes, often with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
