Wheavy is just another emerging experimental artist from the concrete jungle of Brooklyn.
And “Friends” is just another lo-fi chill bop jam about coming to terms with oneself. It’s an intricately beautiful track that seems to flow like a lazy river. And for this, we thank you.
When you think you’ve lost all hope, just always remember that “i don’t fear the devil!” Enjoy it while it lasts.
In the meantime, keep up with Wheavy on Instagram.
Lilapoem
“Beauty Sunday Light” is an indie pop slow jam from Lilapoem — an up and coming outfit out of Paris. The track is a lackadaisical romance shrouded in fading memories of supposed coincidences and dying dreams.
As night turns to day, a fleeting light will creep across the land, and stain her with a lost innocence.
Lilapoem has been on our radar for awhile. And her sound is just as fresh as it was the first time we ever heard it. We can’t wait to hear what else they might have for us in the future. Stay tuned — and we’ll keep you in the loop.
Scott Stevenson is a composer based out of Brisbane Australia.
Over the last last few years Stevenson has released a variety of tracks, each one evolving from the last in terms of genre and tone.
Scott is unafraid to experiment in his quest for an idiosyncratic audio identity.
This track is a luscious minimal electronica journey that takes the listener across a myriad of textural layers from bleak minimalistic expanses to more industrialized breakbeat backrooms.
Scott Stevenson’s music lives in a dark territory — pushing psychedelic realms that engulf the listener like a morphine blanket.
Steve Marino
Over the last ten years or so, Steve Marino has recorded a slew of solo albums, been in a bunch of bands, and toured the country — but his newest album, ‘Fluff’, is the first collection of songs he’s released under his own name. So in that sense, it’s his “debut” album.
‘Fluff’ is an album about home, and one’s place in it, love. It is, in perfect balance — and is sort of a story about an artist who finds home.
Steve’s honest songwriting reaches a peak on this chilled out, feel-good jam that embodies long summer nights with all the people you love.
The album will be out May 24.
Argonaut & Wasp
Helenor is the moniker for Boston-based artist David DiAngelis.
His debut LP was written and recorded at home over the greater part of 2017. Drums were provided by Seth Kasper who also co-produced the album.
The album is set to be released sometime in August, 2019.
This song is about throwing away food. Enjoy.
Hostxess
“A body that labors to entertain and please others. Slowly reclaiming their own. No host or hostess. Para-sight.” X.
The primitive intro seems to bloom into a catatonic spectacle of sublime innocence coupled with a somewhat ominous emotive undertone of unrequited love.
And the culmination is a minimal electronic masterpiece — spliced with a certain scent of undulating love.
We hope to hear more from Hostxess very soon. The primordial sound of this track is just simply intoxicating.
Jørgen Sandvik is an award winning artist out of Norway.
He is also known from the folk pop band, Real Ones.
“Regrets” is the first single since Sandvik’s award winning album, Permanent Vacation.
The track is a bluesy slow jam reminiscent of a life well lived — it’s a down home meandering of sorrow and regret.
Sandvik’s fresh take on the blues may be just what we need to keep roots music alive.
Sandvik said he feels the blues is more of a state of mind than it is a genre.
The sound of Sandvik is raw and filled with emotion, and his use of non traditional instruments are subtle and a refreshing change up. In fact, the entire project is a fresh take on a worn out state of mind.
The single was performed and produced by Jørgen Sandvik, and mixed by Yngve L. Sætre.
A Midwestern boy born raised in Illinois, 50 miles west of Chicago, David Quinn was surrounded by old school country, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll music. He spent most of his summers as a kid up in the north woods of Wisconsin with his grandfather, where he fell in love with country music.
Back at home, his father would often whip out the guitar for intimate jam sessions. But when a childhood best friend reached out to him to play together, Quinn uprooted his life and moved out to LA.
A year later, unease crept into his bones, as he longed to play his own music. A move back home felt right.
After going back to a day job, Quinn got married, bought a house and had seemingly settled down. But after his marriage fell apart, Quinn sold his house, quit his day job and embarked on a road trip across the country.
Along the way, he played many of the country’s finest establishments.
“I just did a bunch of shit I wanted to do,” he says. “I really left everything and the life I was trying to make behind to do this. I had no intentions or plans at all. It was truly wandering,” Quinn said.
David Quinn’s life-changing excursions, which also took him to the edge of the Grand Canyon and to the city of Moab…seems to always bring him back to the highway — a road cutting through the mountains of Colorado and down to the sweltering heat of Texas and then back out west to the coast of California.
The road is long, and hard, but oh so beautiful. And now, here’s the Wanderin’ Fool’s “Cryin’ Shame”!
Hailing from the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay — Penny Opry brings to us a sound back from the dead — a vibration that breathes life into a genre some thought was gone forever.
Equipped with a suitcase drum kit, ukulele, and an antique button accordion, the outfit draws on creative inspiration from maritime folk tradition, tin pan alley, and traditional drinking songs.
Penny Opry founders Joan Wilson Rueter and Rosie Steffy dive deep into the murky waters of the underground — and explore seafaring music from North America and the British Isles, to the underworld of Americana roots music.
Here is the happy go lucky tune, “Walkin in the Rain”.
Mending
Kate Adams and Joshua Dumas create dreamy ambient slow burners made of voice, piano, and synths alike.
“We Gathered at Wakerobin Hollow” is a four hour, forty song cycle, released in nine Chapters. A sonic spectacle to behold.
In Year 33, a warm quiet moment at the midpoint of the story gives us an intimate glimpse into Emma and Jon’s life on the farm at Wakerobin Hollow…
Words and Music are all by Kate Adams and Joshua Dumas. Enjoy.
Chelsea Storm
Chelsea Storm crafts a soulful mix of intimate folk music. Her unique sound makes you feel like you’re somewhere between a sacred ceremony in the Amazon and a cozy concert in a small smokey tavern.
The authenticity echos beyond an angelic voice and drifts throughout the heartfelt lyrics that speak to the deepest part of the human existence.
Chelsea’s songs poetically express her personal relationship with Nature, with a haunting call to action — to protect and reconnect with this wild and vulnerable home of ours.
Meaningful, meditative, and mournful — Chelsea’s new track will take you on a transcendental journey through a wilderness of heartbreak and a sea of hope, leaving you with a sense of authenticity rarely found within the empty corridors of contemporary music.
The Skipping Stones
The Skipping Stones are an alternative folk outfit made up of K. Maginel and Cub Wyse.
The duo from Norwich, Connecticut is focused on bringing traditional Americana music to the sonic forefront.
With harmonies reminiscent of the Carter Family, this pair is guaranteed to make you feel something deep down inside the valleys of your heart.
Their sound is unique, rich, and enticing — all while playfully infusing Peruvian panpipes, the 5 string banjo, and more.
The outfit reflects the authentic vibrations of the collective human experience. Now sit back, burn one down, and enjoy the ride.
Joe Kaplow
Joe Kaplow lives in a four-acre mansion in the rolling hills of Santa Cruz. He shares the space with a group of shaggy hippies, a few rats, and some very dilapidated floors and walls…but it does have a swimming pool.
For Kaplow, becoming a full-time musician and adopting a lifestyle that often accompanies it — didn’t all happen overnight.
Having moved from farm life and family in New Jersey to the rich Santa Cruz music community — Kaplow has often found himself living paycheck to paycheck as he departs on several month long tours throughout the USA.
Kaplow records music in various bedrooms of the house where he lives, rehearses with band mates, and writes constantly — dedicating himself fully and lovingly to the craft of music.
Kaplow’s songs deal with his own struggles in cathartic musings overlaid with folksy guitar stylings reminiscent of legends now dead and gone.
Dealing with loneliness, depression, seclusion, death, and the fractured dichotomy between finding literal and figurative homes — Kaplow’s fresh take on folk music is the kind that will help you pull through difficult times. Enjoy it while it lasts…
Simon Linsteadt
Simon Linsteadt is an eclectic — introspective artist living in the metropolis of the cavernous settlement of New York City.
Linsteadt’s “Cecropia” is a dreamy, lo-fi folk song about a lonely moth flying through the dark night.
The tragic tale will leave you in awe as the beauty of Linsteadt’s melody takes the listener on a whimsical journey through the heavy air of a moonless night.
Enjoy my friends, and rest easy.
