Liza Lo is a well travelled songwriter. She was raised between Amsterdam, Spain, and the UK. That experience blesses her work intriguingly. Its heard in the dynamic presence of her new single Anything Like Love.
She finds the middle ground between Norah Jones, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake. Like all of them she’s tapped into a unique emotional essence. Through her music she channels that conjured experience convincingly. Her vibrant hush adds a sultry detail. It gets under your skin. Within this thoughtful arrangement her vibe reigns cinematic. Enjoy it.

We adore the raw candid appeal the singer offers on Storm Windows, the new single from Adios Bangladesh. His delivery is slightly broken. It’s a tattered development, where every note hangs on a thread. It’s convincing and adds some emotional authenticity to this work.
Beyond the performance, it’s just an interesting composition through and through. The movements are interesting and full of surprise. Stylistically we hear a bit of Neil Young, Jose Gonzalez, and Phosphorescent. Enjoy it.

Erik Kase Romero is Barely Listening. The trademark hook that defines his recent work breaks the risk of novelty courtesy of his inspired delivery. Full of complicated angst, Romero rings true. It hurts worse when you know the emotions are out of your control. The narrative has that kind of recognition. It’s all here. A bit of heartbreak and a lot of let down, not just in the temporary but in the ones who were supposed to be your forevers.
Barely Listening will connect with a coming of age audience entering the relationship turmoil that is adult hood, when you can’t count on your friends like you used to. It’s a smart composition that will connect with fans of Wilco, Alex G, and acoustic emo in general.

Short Art Fair Enough caught our attention with their new single Fall (A Song For you). The careful sentimental intro collides with an imaginative energetic burst of inspiration that never relents. The progressive arrangement wades between an eclectic influential well. Rock and indie folk both have a stake in this design. The affect is exhilirhating.
Stylistically they find the middle ground between Explosions, Bjork, and Traci Chapman.
