Big Society embraces their sensitive side on the convincing new single Foolish. There’s a charming humility to this narrative. It’s willing to admit the vulnerability but strong enough to move on.
The relatable lyrics get lifted by the dramatic surprise of the innovative chord shifts and progressive pickups. Foolish keeps giving to its last breath. Stylistically it should connect with fans of Shins, Spoon, and Mt Joy.

There’s normal existence and there there’s LA Time.
Alex Lotito quarrels with both on his new single. The West Coast Blues just hits different when you start every day running from behind the rest of the country. That dynamic suits this laurel canyon conundrum. In that Lotito recalls cherished writers like Warren Zevon and Jackson Brown. Hear for yourself.

“Whatever you came here to find it’s all gone, lost in a dream a long time ago.” It’s the first dystopian statement on Wherever, the new single from Jonas Carping. Hope meets its final boss on this big Musical pill to swallow. It’s not just about being down, but rather it lends itself to a feeling of relief. To know these trials can help introduce a new perspective with more realistic intentions.
Carping makes good use of his low range, navigating the melodic movements impressively. Combined with the large thrust of the snare the vibe unfolds like Nick Cave collabing with The Pogues. We love it.

An indie folk underground throwback comes courtesy of Marly Lüske and his single Organ and Nylon. This buried treasure flew under our radar when it first dropped in 2018. It’s worth another look. Stylstically it will connect with fans of Junip, Dr Dog, and The Tallest Man On Earth. It effectively blends their unique aesthetics into one catchy package. If it’s new to you, it’s new. Shout it out to the Sugarman.
