From Slake, this new single is hypnotizingly soothing, called Bauhaus The Dog. Consisting of haunting but brilliant vocals, the singer’s voice is rich in emotional expression and well-rounded, bittersweet tones. Accompanying her is the layering of finger-plucked melodies on the acoustic guitar and bass, which encapsulate the moody atmosphere of the song.
The folk mix of indie rock in her music expresses the organic nature captured in the sonic tones of the track. The song gradually builds up, incorporating more percussive elements into it, creating an exciting climax with a sudden, yet satisfying ending. This track is the first track of her album, Let’s Get Married. We encourage you to listen to this beautiful music for yourself.

Next is One Last Time, a tragically beautiful song from Fencah. Utilizing emotionally intense electric guitar, banjo, and inspiring synth melodies, this track explores the deep contemplation of when a loved one dies. Questioning if their life had met completion, the vocalist reproduces that haunting feeling with vibrant melodies.
His music holds similarities to artists like Clairo and Dev Hynes, similarly mixing folk attributes with indie bedroom pop. From Austria, Fencah produces and mixes all of his tracks himself. You can hear him live at a few upcoming concerts around Europe. We can’t wait for what this artist brings for us next.

Glassio‘s new single, Heartstrings, made a strong impression on us. A catchy tune coming out of the bedroom-pop and indie pop confines, this track electrifies you by using dreamy synth melodies and bright vocals to create a joyful, upbeat track full of optimism. Matching the rhythmic energy of the synth is the drumset, keeping this track a moving groove.
We hear similarities to Her’s and Cuco, as it incorporates sounds full of favorable nostalgia. This track is perfect for those who want to dance and flush away their struggles. With the pure fun this single brings, we hope to hear more from this artist soon.

We loved this new single from David Morin, Crashing & Burning, a Koyla Remix. Groovy and jazzy, this artist ingeniously combines the best qualities of R&B and indie-pop. The beat of this track is an amalgamation of charming synth chords and sweet violin harmonies, finished with mesmerizing drums. The vocals are incredibly notable, being smooth and strong, embodying passionate and relatable emotion.
Those who are fans of SZA and Daniel Caesar will heavily connect with this artist and his music. From Vancouver, this artist first made his way through street busking. With this being one of three single releases this year, we hope this means more is coming. Make sure to hear this for yourself, and we can’t wait to hear what’s next.
