B.Miles grooves with swagger on the single One Trick Pony. Pulling from the tippy top depths of her “head voice”, then alternating back to her vintage bellow, it’s as if to push the concept that is One Trick Pony.
A sultry conceptual hit, the track is packed with flavorful style. As if she’s paired two parallel sentiments together, the contrast is elegant and only lifts her creative appeal. With urban attitude and subtle psych sonic dressing, it’s as if Mac Demarco produced a record for Remi Wolf.
The comparison is only offered to give you some place mark heading in, B.Miles is really doing something all her own, and should appeal to indie pop and psych pop fans alike.

Dang Clēts are infectious on their recent Messing It Up. An innovative syncopated tempo design draws you in with hypnotic affect. It’s as if you stuck within a reality loop, inspired to resolve to interpretive choreography in response to its rare pomp.
A cascade of fleeting vocals swirl around the lead melody, bringing dreamy atmosphere to the otherwise rigid intersecting stutters. The syncopation alternates with an urban breakbeat, all adapted to the interesting chord play at the root of the songs design.
Messing It Up melds the worlds of melody and tech with a refreshing update unparralled in the world of pop. With indie sensibility it should please fans of eclectic psych pop mega band Tame Impala and the associated acts known to that style. This is whats next, Dang Clēts just gets ahead of it.

The Natural Lines are catchy on their recent Spontaneous Skylights 2. There he goes again. The artist formerly known as Matt Pond PA reinvents himself, as if he even needed to. Perhaps to capture a cynical generation insistent on creating new heroes. They won’t be able to overcome the infectious hit that is Spontaneous Skylights 2. Its brings the spirit of mid 80s alternative into the new wave.
The single has the classic snap of hits by the Cure and the Smiths, dressed with an indie intellect known to The National, with an underground flare akin to Alex G. Or dare we say just Matt Pond PA?
The artists hopes to honor his collaborators with the name change. It’s known to us that in this wilderness of the music industry there comes a sense of insecurity regarding cherished relationships within your artistic circle when your parading your brand as a solo artist. It’s usually by accident and seldom a reflection of ego. Regardless, Matt Pond Pa is graceful in this endeavor. A classic innovator in his own right, The Natural Lines just push his legacy forward.
