Ryder The Eagle

Ryder The Eagle is an indie dream-pop artist out of France.

“The Picture” is a heartbreaking depiction of the post-depression emotions following the loss of a loved one — an unrequited love that has tragically slipped from ones fingertips and landed in the palm of a lonesome stranger.

Wailing synths and a sad guitar carry the soundscape — as the eagle himself soars to new lows.

The track is absolutely heart shattering. This one goes to out to all you brokenhearted dudes out there.

T. Nile – Note to Self

T. Nile spent her early days in a Galiano Island cabin on the wild coast of British Columbia.

She blurs musical boundaries by fusing elements of indie-pop and folk music.

“Working with both acoustic and electronic instruments gives me a sense of unlimited musical possibility…” – T. Nile

From the age of six until her teenage years Nile accompanied her father (a musician himself) as they toured the West Coast and Australia in an RV.

“Note to Self” is an iridescent indie throwback to the outlaw folk ballad featuring Sadowick and Dave Quanbury. It’s simply a ravishing medley.

Arts Fishing Club is an evolving outfit of musicians out of Nashville fronted by Wisconsin native, Christopher Kessenich.

The name ‘Arts Fishing Club’ is both an homage to Kessenich’s grandfathers and a brisk reminder of the view he wants us all to take on life — which is — art is like fishing. You explore a sea of creativity, casting out lines and writing songs with hopes of landing a big fish.

In the summer of ‘15, Kessenich’s hunger for adventure led him to embark on a fifty plus show — 1,600 mile walking tour from Maine, down the east coast, and then over to Nashville.

“Cannibals” is a new haunting track written about the Syrian conflict — specifically the Aleppo crisis, where over 100,000 civilians were caught in the firestorm between two raging armies. They couldn’t leave their city and they were begging for people to save them via social media.

How ignorant are we to all the world’s suffering? This powerful track explores this question.

“They (my grandfathers) taught me that fishing is about going out every day with the intention for success.  Every single line you cast, you are trying, yet when you come up empty handed, the day is not wasted…We are fishing for our art everyday with intention and the name is a constant reminder that it is not about catching a big fish.” – Christopher Kessenich

Just Domo

Just Domo dishes up the hard hitting “Doped Up” — a radical track seething with heavy bong use and dope. It’s a sort of homage to the drug game of love.

“she says she likes me better when i’m doped up” – Just Domo

DeAndre

“Heart” is the latest single from Deandre’s debut project, Lost In The Details. It’s a fresh jam dripping with elements of Kanye West and J. Cole. Shit goes hard.

“she took my heart” – DeAndre

whose song is that

i think i just might know — its maiden is quite sad though

it really is a dark tale of woe — sometimes i watch her frown as she cries hello

she gives her song a violent shake and whimpers until she hears her tears break

the only other sound’s are bleak and cunning as a snake as the distant waves and birds slowly awake

the song is beautifully colorful and deep — but she has white lies to keep

until then she shall never really sleep — the poor girl lies in bed with ducts that leak

she rises from her lonesome bed with weary thoughts of sadness drifting through her head

she sometimes even feels she’s dead — walking through the dream with a never ending feeling of dread

Walker Landing

Brandon Schilling of Walker Landing, manifests a rich soundscape full of glistening synthesizers, deep bass tones, and vivid vocals.

Landing’s sound is a mystical reflection of the metropolis nighttime grime and fading nostalgic daydreams. The track, and album as a whole, tells a wonderful story of wanderlust, addiction, isolation, and the need to escape to another place. A sort of manic dream into the shadows of reality’s darkness.

Created between Brooklyn, San Francisco, Chicago and Berlin — Landing’s vibrations combine gritty electronic orchestration and a heavy melodic emotion of existential angst.

“I found this home way above the haze, in day dream heights, on palace lawns, where we play the game, a field lounge in the sky, a fountain grove, the neighbors never age, in day dream heights, now we’ll always be together, seeing how you’ve arrived.” — Walker Landing

Luca Longobardi

Luca Longobardi, an experimental pianist and composer among thousands of other things — is an artist out of Rome, Italy — dishing up a pure and calm ensemble infested with a beautiful piano and mesmerizing synths.

The man approaches the classical genre with an openness to electronic exploration — outlining a personal style that is clear and distinguishable from the herd, and highly appreciated both in Italy and around the world.

Luca mainly writes for contemporary ballet, film, and immersive installations. He is the author of original soundtracks and in charge of musical direction for the immersive theater.

“The Garden” is off a 3 track EP, recorded live.

Even though each track has its own independent feeling, they are all meant to be three different experiences along the same journey.

Beachglass

Beachglass is the throwback project of Andrea Cormier, Adam Nicoll, Alexandra Khalimonova and the percussion extraordinaire, Kevin Smith.

The radical band of hedonistic misfits blends chilled out surfer psychedelia and alternative rock with subtle hints of folky undertones. The mashup is a magnificent trip to behold.

The psych-rockers out of Montreal, display a not so conventional style with “Let Me Go” — an infectious track off their new album, Sunroom Sanctuary.

“Let me disappear, into your body, and let it breathe in my soul, wild flowers and ruby orchids, cloud castles and black sand, ah let me go back.” — Beachglass
