[MP3] Imperial Mammoth: “Little Earthquakes”

I gotta admit something. I couldn’t post anything the last few days not because I was busy, but because I could not find a single new artist or piece of music I wanted to post about. So thank god Imperial Mammoth came my way with some new songs off their upcoming album Gold Confetti. This… Continue reading [MP3] Imperial Mammoth: “Little Earthquakes”

Eliza Shaddad: “Waters”

Eliza Shaddad, the Sudanese/Scottish songstress, is set to release her debut EP, Waters, June 16 via Beatnik Creative. She is well known to some as a member of EDM chamber group Clean Bandit, but her solo work on Waters is a significant departure and showcases Shaddad’s impressive versatility. “Waters” is slow-building, dark and tribal. Shaddad’s alto captivates as… Continue reading Eliza Shaddad: “Waters”

You know what I’m talking about. “Hurricane” takes on a life… Continue reading [MP3] Angela Perley & The Howlin’ Moons: “Hurricane”

River Tiber releases The Star Falls EP

There’s a little bluebird sitting on my fire escape. For a while, any movement I made turned him into a goner. But now I can approach the window and he’s prepared for my presence. He cocks his head ever so slightly to the side, but keeps his eyes affixed on me. I wonder what he’s… Continue reading River Tiber releases The Star Falls EP

Eureka Birds return with new album “Strangers”

Chris walked up the front steps to the worn-down school he used to call home for 15 years. Fresh out of University, he taught English to seventh graders. It had been full of laughter, mischievous souls, and teachers who hated the place yet loved it at the same and wouldn’t give it up for the… Continue reading Eureka Birds return with new album “Strangers”

Chris Flew

Dark is coming sooner now. Time to layer up. For some of us, hibernation becomes natural, and not just physical. It’s a state of mind. We’d like nothing more than to curl up in bed, clench our toes under our comforters, and stay away from it all. Tomorrow is a new day. Chris Flew on… Continue reading Chris Flew
