Dylan Rockwell is instinctually melodic and catchy. Even within a dark lyrical construct he can’t help but stay musical. It’s our reflection regarding his admittedly unhappy new single some people.
Rockwell offers that he wrote the song in anger and disappointment. That frustration can be heard in the songs aggressive sonic moments. Interlaced between contemplative verses, some people evolves like a cinematic journey. Stylistically it should connect with fans of Strand of Oaks and The War On Drugs.

What happens Down in Pueblo deserves such an effective tribute. The new single from Crewless will jumpstart your imagination. You’ll find yourself filling in the blank parts of this script. The narrative leaves room for interpretation while the brilliant arrangement revs your daydream engine.
The unorthodox approach to the verse drum part is excitingly untamed. The sultry lead vocal adds an emotive grounding. She is sure of herself while retaining an intriguing sense of mischief. That culminates in the chorus sections catchy pivot. It’s there that your intuition for interpretive dance finds pay dirt. Stylistically we think it should connect with fans of Haim and Lucius. We’re into it.

We dig Kerosene, the new song and video from Run Remedy. They’re both double dipped in their acquired vibe. It’s a stylistic aesthetic that shines throughout.
The video is refreshingly clever and does well to offer some visual evidence of what these sounds are rooted in. It’s an expressive art ethos, one that’s not afraid to feel a little more. Stylistically we think the tune should connect with fans of Feist and Sharon Van Etten. We think it’s a hot track. Burn with it.

We love the dynamic blend offered on the new single from Skinny Atlas and Powfu.
Don’t Ever Think Twice elegantly adapts an emo influence into the indie pop canon. The alternating vocal styles compliment each other. The arrangement is convincing too. The layers are thoughtful, retaining a minimalistic trait while staying sonically expressive. It’s a testament to every parts calculated impact. We love it.
Stylistically it should connect with indie music fans who have a sweet spot for emo music.
