Aura Blaze

New Jersey psychedelic rock act Aura Blaze fronted by Rhode Rachel, infuses the timeless vibrations of the 1960s while simultaneously tripping to the hallucinogenic atmosphere of modern psych-rock.

“Ripple” — a Grateful Dead jam — is one of their latest covers, and she’s a goddamn beauty. Her lush soundscape and smooth vocals take one on a trip through the cosmic seas of nostalgia.

cardnl

Ohio-based lo-fi bedroom artist cardnl is a very sad boy who creates sorrowful songs of heartbreak in his basement studio.

His name is Troy.

One of his latest tracks “brown” off his EP two demos is another heartbreaker. If you’re into somber lofi acoustic stuff then this jam is most definitely for you.

Unrequited love and the temporary nature of this strange and short life seems to be the subject matter of this song of despair. It’s absolutely depressing.

The Velvoids

“Absolutely Nothing” is the lead single off The Velvoids’ forthcoming 7” What You Know / Absolutely Nothing.

The Velvoids are made up of Vice Lesley and Dorah X.

The duo utilizes the guitar and intricate drumwork as an unconventional rhythmic unit.

“You can kind of feel the room in these recordings” Lesley said. The result is a more chilled out vibe compared to The Velvoids’ past releases.

Now, listen and dig.
