Sasha & The Bear caught our attention with their new single get ‘em. The dark jive of the groove suits the singers haunting contrast. She’s a mix of sultry smooth and delightfully dark. That dark sexy appeal is at the root of the projects aesthetics.
Just one in a handful of songs that we’ve featured, Sasha & The Bear truly has noteworthy style points. It’s a musical partnership that clearly works. The new single finds the middle ground between Mk.gee and dream pop. It’s a sure thing.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Sarah Klang is a special singer. She’s a natural, but she puts something more into every performance. Full of emotion and conjured suffering, Klang navigates the polar complexities of romance and Motherhood in her impressive catalog. Her latest All I Want tries to make sense of an unrequited arrangement. The narrative suggests there’s some contact but its variable hasn’t been verified. Is this fun or is this the real thing?
That narrative connects with a new confused generation who isn’t totally sure when the loving starts and how to nurture it. Klang is a gem and the song is pure gold. An eclectic artist to the core, her most recent recalls the writing of Brandi Carlile or Kacey Musgraves with Klang’s own signature twang shining through.

The introductory modem heard at the onset of The Taxpayers new song announces a tweak in the matrix of life. There’s a quarrel at the root of At War With The Dogcatchers. A folk punk ethos collides with an inference of classic indie on this brilliant release. Stylistically they find the middle ground between Dr Dog, Alex G, and Bright Eyes.
The lyrics are both poetic and relatable. A flurry of metaphors feel real as the contrived personifies the criticisms divulged in masked clusters. The video is fun too. Take it all in.

We found some fresh retro soul energy in City of Shame, the new single from Einat Hal. They adapt that influence with a trip hop touch familiar to Thievery Corporation. It’s freaky groovy with an organic essence that reflects a new movement familiar to bands like Vulfpeck. They’re all effectively inspired by the Meters, an affect we adore.
City of Shame offers something fresh within that aesthetic courtesy of the smooth vocal performance. Her natural candid feel lands convincing. Groove with it.
