Dylan Rockoff effectively bring an R&B pop sensibility to an indie folk framework on his refreshing new single Evergreen. His voice could command a dance pop classic, but it works within this vibe too. He bridges the gap between Ed Sheeran and Brett Dennen. Both have voices with mainstream potential, while Denne’s sensibility is slightly more indie. Rockoff could sway either way. No matter how he swings, you can’t deny Evergreen is convincing.

Where’s Beth charmingly overthinks a lot on their new single I Can’t Save All The Bees. Lyrically the writer pens sweet sentimental poetry on this inspired release. It’s a lucid affect we can’t get enough of.
The singer’s aura channels Ani Difranco’s sweet side while harkening to Courtney Barnett’s unassuming prose. They twist both legacies with an expressive indie folk touch. It’s heard in the late instrumental section. We like where this is going.

Jon Cocker is an authentic. His new single She Moves Through The Air embraces the heart of the song.
As a singer they find the middle ground between Neil Young and Jeff Buckley. Cocker’s got some of Young’s twang and a touch of Buckley’s rare vibrating sustain. Those attributes deserve such a true arrangement. Sparse production is all that’s needed to aid in the illumination of this brilliant performance. Cocker effectively captures their aura in song.

We’re addicted to the vulnerable emotional affect heard in the vocal performance on Her Cadillac. It’s a neat composition too, with some subtle melodic surprise that lands fresh.
The new single from Trudy and the Romance is a proper hit. It keeps it real in contempt of overproduced modern movements. Gorgeously produced, an array of instruments add a sort of orchestral drama. It suits the conjured theater of the moment. Hear for yourself.
