Sleepless is an independent artist out of London dishing up catatonic tracks of a nocturnal nature.
“Home” (by Sleepless) is a lo-fi meditation with elements of jazz and chill-hop strewn throughout. Take a listen for yourself. We think you’ll really get lost in this one.
“Home” is the perfect jam to study to – or to simply lay back and enjoy a hot cup of tea as raindrops fall upon the window sill.

Hailing from the Moorlands, the radical individuals of Sawel Underground felt that the sound of Staffordshire should oppose popular sounding music in a stylistic sense, and sound more like how their local towns felt at the time.
Indeed, the project persevered and soon the bandmates found themselves in a more honest and derelict world of realism and heartbreak, yet still somehow maintained a colorful outlook while infusing an underlying sensation of a hazy dream into their artwork.
While the project experimented with more unconventional production techniques, “Wild Thing” was naturally conceived as an authentic, growling lo-fi protest song of indie rock – in both style and sound. And we could not agree more, “Wild Thing” is a true take on the modern psychedelic renaissance – and after all, is a cover of a garage classic from the British Invasion of the sixties.
The avant-garde music video exhibits the S. Underground’s interest in eccentric fashion and visual style, and seems to further their exploration into the dark ocean of artistic thought – a void that has introduced them to the creative demigods of vintage sound and the mind-bending textures of the sixties.
With the fusion of hallucinogenic garage rock and hypnotic psychedelia, S. Underground seems to fit quite nicely into the sixties revival scene with their distinctive gritty sound of low fidelity. A sound that mirrors the abandonment felt in the cities of Northern and Mid-Britain.
S. Underground will begin recording their debut EP later this year. Now join the revolution and follow the project on Spotify you filthy animals.

tiny.blips is an independent yet highly experimental musician based out of south Florida by way of Delaware. tiny.blips’ smooth sound of low fidelity is a sound of utter grooviness. Indeed, a sonic spectacle to behold and cherish, at least for a little while.
Now, the project out of Florida gives to us his first single off an EP that’s packed completely full of cover tracks (the tracks will be released intravenously in the near future).
And now, here is Nirvana’s “Hear-Shaped Box” channeled through the artistic filter of tiny.blips. We think you’re going to really like this one as it really brings a new emotion to this classic track of post-rock.
All the eclectic instrumentation, percussion, vocal tracks, flawless production – including the recording in low fidelity and the mixing were done exclusively by tiny.blips.
We don’t feature a lot of covers here at Santa Rosa Records, but feel that both of these particular tracks, really resonates with the originals, while bringing a fresh perspective and infectious beat to both soundscapes.
Keep up with tiny.blips on Spotify and Instagram. In fact, give the project a follow. We don’t think you’ll ever regret it. And be sure to check out our latest radio show!

“Sinnerman” is a psychedelic nod to the sleepy sound of nostalgia, yet still maintains a fresh edge with its expressive imagery and laidback approach.
This track truly deserves a mountain of love.
The vocal vibrations attain a masterful tone and seem to entice one to take the leap and explore the outer limits of the underground.
Toomtankhamun’s new track “Sinnerman” is out now, and is available right here in low fidelity: lnk.link/toomtankhamun.
Be sure to keep up with and follow the project on Spotify and Instagram. A new album should soon be on the horizon.
When I finally got a chance to sit down and listen to the latest release of La Mer, well let’s just say that I couldn’t stay seated. The enticing project maintains a subtle sixties surfer tone to it, yet emanates a dreamy avant-garde vibe with a sharpe indie-pop edge to it.
The project truly has a unique, and meditative quality to it.
La Mer was formed spontaneously one late evening playing in the underground club, The Owl, in the small picturesque fairytale town of Vadstena, Sweden. Their debut single ‘La mer’ is about a car ride down a long and lonesome highway, a murder, and the ocean.
Influenced by artists such as Angel Olsen, Ducktails, Pixies, Moldy Peaches and Tomorrow’s tulips – La Mer is the brainchild of Sofia Ek and Johan Karlsson, who recorded “Right here, right here, right here” with 90’s legend Jörgen Wärnström of Cloudberry Jam.
Indeed, Sofia and Johan exhibit introspective lyrical content that takes the listener on a long and dusty journey through the wastelands of psychedelia.
La Mer’s “Right here, Right here, Right here” was released on Archiboldo Records. Listen to La Mer’s debut EP right here on Spotify and/or Soundcloud. And follow La Mer on instagram.
The Foster Family Band, a group based out of Phoenix, Arizona, brings to us a new track from their seven piece desert-folk ensemble.
The project features an eclectic collection of artists who each bring a unique influence to the interesting soundscape. Taking stylistic cues from a variety of folk, klezmer, indie, and classical styles, the collective flits and flirts between the chaotic and the serene, however dark or delicate the subject matter may be.
Their track entitled “Everlasting” is a somber yet dark desert-folk creation dripping with psychedelic vibrations and a glowing resonance of harmonic beauty.
The track was produced in-house by the band, and is the first track off their new album, The Lighthouse and the Ocean.
“Everlasting” was written by Perry Allen and The Foster Family Band, produced by Greg Lloyd, mixed by Jordan Tompkins, and mastered by Greg Lloyd. Be sure to give them a follow on Facebook.
