Cameron Sage From makes a strong case on her recent Disappointment. The chorus line is iconic. It’s addictive and guaranteed to conjure cinematic memories that you felt this in real life.
“I Think I did it again, I’m a disappointment.” For those of us who keep it real, the sentiment is all too familiar.
The artists embraces her R&B influences while wading into the indie crossover zone. In that way it connects with undeniable artists like SZA and Billie Eilish. It’s perfect for radio, but the underground will love it too. Anything but disappointing.

Get soaked into the musical dream world of Search Party, the new signal from Future Elevators. This vibrant psychedelic pop soundscape doesn’t shy from its intention. This is music to get lost in.
The echo that drenches the vocal reflects the vibes metaphysical aura. Take the vocal out and it’s an upbeat disco inspired indie pop song. Dressed in this manner it connects with a vibe familiar to Tame Impala or MGMT. We’re into it.

We got caught in the catchy appeal of Serenity, the new single from Danish indie pop trio Slaughter Beach. (Not to be confused with that Philly band Slaughter Beach, Dog.)
Serenity is dreamy and infectious. The vocals are smooth while the music swirls imaginatively underneath. For us they blend the expressive guitar style of Kurt Vile or Real Estate with the smart pop writing of bands like The Shins. We love it.

A Soundcloud shout out is due to Babylon Twist for their new single Tears (listen above!) We dig the experimental nature of this eccentric gem.
How they effectively blend an exotic sitar in the realm of post punk is no small feat. There’s an eastern detail, like a warped toxic masculine version of M.I.A. We also hear the influence of LCD Soundsystem and The Streets, or more classically, Public Image Ltd. Like all of them Tears is soaked in punk attitude but doused in an electronic design. We can dig it.
