Music
I Don't Mind if You're Around
New York’s Blac Rabbit seems handcrafted for the festival circuit with jammy psych rock to stretch your cerebellum through the hot afternoon hours before a headliner.
Bad Influence
Philly’s Catbite put out 2021’s LP Nice One on ska/punk label Bad Time Records because they scratch that itch.
I Wanna Know
Philly’s Rosali has been releasing records with some serious staying power. Have a listen to 2018’s Trouble Anyway.
Backstroke
Korea’s Joyul juxtaposes the harsh digital and analog skrunk with silky smooth vocals to create a soundscape that’s both inviting and disturbing.
Sin Triangle
New York’s Sidney Gish crafts breezy folk pop that sounds like journal entries accidentally copied & pasted to Instagram.
Dark Window
Hooray For Earth + Zambri = Mass Gothic. The calculus is not quite so simple, but it’s close.
Static (ft. V.V. Lightbody)
Chicago’s V.V. Lightbody joins Wilder Maker on the latest release to drop from the forthcoming Male Models.
Boring Angel
An oldie but a goodie. Oneohtrix Point Never has become a big deal music guy for scoring films since the full-length LP R Plus Seven came out in 2013.
R U Afraid
Stream Bat House’s “R U Afraid” — a yacht rocker crooner that feeds off R&B inspiration.
Shop Around
Boston’s Layzi makes suave, stylish bedroom electropop that deserves a martini and a beautiful sunset.
Feeling In Love (From the Waist Down)
There’s something at once wholesome and louche about Twen’s sound. Like the Carpenter siblings were banging.
Good For Tonight
Olivia Sisay can play it soft & low or ramp it up for a big folk rock sound.
Traffic Jam
Fuzzy, buzzy, trash and no star. Boston’s Black Beach waste no time in bringing the wastoid sunspot vibes on their 4-track EP Giallo.
