Sarah Crean caught our attention with her new single Wasted Youth. The artist employs a unique intoxicating vocal delivery. With lyrical prowess it presents as a more melodic Courtney Barnett. The songwriting is intricate and intriguing and the vibe is elegantly classic. It blends classic indie projects like Midlake with more recent adaptations by Big Thief and boy genius. You can trace the rhythmic flair back to Fleetwood Mac. Those are big shoes to fill but Crean is worthy of the association, Wasted Youth is a pure hit.

Ronboy bears elegant contrast on her entrancing new single Oceans Of Emotion. We were enwrapped in this infectious vibe. The contrast of her voice within the songs aggressive electro pop design gives the vibe a layered narrative.
Stylistically we hear evidence of St Vincent and Polica mixed with Wolf Alice. It’s an intriguing stylistic mix bearing influences that we adore. It’s the kind of single that pulls you into her catalog. Still flying way too far under the radar, it’s time to take notice.

Proper psychedelic pop finds a champion in rincs. Their new single Stucker is the kind of mind altering perplexing insanity known to the masters. There’s evidence of Bjork and Zappa, Mitski and Gizzard, Knower, and more. It’s a gorgeous reflection of the artists own complicated energy and theatrical flair.
Instinctual melodic and admittingly different, their press release describes them as “indie weirdos.” Well this is our kind of weird. It’s accessible enough melodically that anyone can step into it, but how you step out of it… buyer beware.

Belau teams up with singer Mulay for an exciting new single. Home is equally seductive and infectious. It’s a smart electro pop jam with traits of Alt R&B and classic soul. Like the classics it’s immediately timeless. As a singer Mulay is breathtaking in any light. Belau finds the optimal blend to accentuate her appeal. From the harmonic drops to the jazz bred groove, Home truly feels sacred. Hopefully we can expect more collaborations to come from this effective combo.
