We lost ourselves in the hypnotic resolutions that wind around the pump of the bass drum on we’re the only, the new single from Sasha & The Bear. This is our kind of four to the floor; illuminated by a calculated harmonious guitar part, dreamy vocal, and counter syncopated percussion.
The duo has it all ways, tagging the underground while still staying within the scope of radio stardom. Stylistically they bridge the gap between The XX, Radiohead, and mainstream pop. How did we get here? With love.

Mt. Misery drops an addictive catchy gem with their new single Waking Up. This fun power pop vibe has real crossover potential courtesy of its undeniably magnetic melody. The band cites The Lemonheads, Teenage Fan Club, and Big Star as influences. We also hear the classic influence of The Monkees and The Beach Boys.
It’s attributed to the arrangement and how it highlights a suitcase organ. Like all of them there’s a charm to their writing that exudes friendship. It’s a peculiar asset, but they flaunt it so convincingly that even the melodically dark music lover can’t help but get into the fun.

Stottie makes Blue feel so good. The title of her new single finds Stottie elegantly bridging the gap between Bon Iver and Clairo.
She’s channeling the chillest soul filled versions of both artists, intoxicating us with her smooth voice and infectious nature. It’s a sort of soft roar. It lands carefully, but there’s a strength to this Blue. Immersive and full of sonic surprise in the classic spirit of Peter Gabriel, Blue has never been so bright.

Quick Now Here Now Always earns another featured courtesy of their new single What The Fortune Cookie Said. Their intoxicating dreamy essence finds substance in thoughtful lyrical sentiments.
This is smart songwriting that retains a sense of refreshing youthfulness. Stylistically it connects with artists like Beabadoobee. We also hear similarities to Kacey Musgraves and Belle and Sebastian. It’s a soothing stylistic spread, one that honors the bands notable creativity.
