Electrifying is this new single from Ginger Winn, titled Socrates, which draws you in immediately with not only breathtaking electric guitar chords, but also neon, electronic sound effects and dreamy reverb on the vocals. The drums add intoxicating rhythms to the instrumental, helping to create the atmosphere, which inspires hope and bliss. The vocals are bright and clean, singing serene melodies with a gentle touch of sentiment and bittersweetness.
It is easy to appreciate the emotional rawness, full of ache and enchantingly deep. The music video for this song captures its beautiful performance. This track is one of many on Ginger Winn’s newest album release, titled Freeze Frame. It features this single, along with other great tracks like Main Character Syndrome and Circling Squares. There, you can listen to the hauntingly nostalgic sounds of this transcendent indie-pop artist.

Another track that enchanted us with its melodies is Konnie‘s newest single, Nestled. Right away, the psychedelic melodies performed by the electric guitar take the main stage in your eardrums, immersing you in the song. The vocals are delicately vibrant, as Konnie explores his range, bringing you the beautiful contrast of low and high tones.
The impressive instrumental, although unique, bears similarities to artists like Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco, making this track a new light in the genre of indie and psychedelic rock. More impressively, this track is performed, produced, mixed, and mastered entirely by Konnie himself. We are excited to witness Konnie as he weaves through the musical boundaries, already proving his excellence.

Another new track that fits our current theme of dreamy, nostalgic songs is from Besphrenz featuring Anthony Green and Keith Goodwin, titled Yeah. This track will have you floating above the clouds with its synthesized string chords, backed by groovy bass lines that move at the perfect pace and drums that brilliantly accent the slow rhythm.
The harmonies created by the vocals of every artist collaborating in this track are unlike any other, perfectly elevating you through your ears. This song also features an expressive outro, performed only with a piano, ending the song on a great note of peace and calm. Along with this incredible track is an equally cool music video, definitely worth watching. We can’t wait to hear more of the chill musical creations of Besphrenz on their upcoming album, BERT.

Buzzing and infectious is Ceylon Sailor‘s newest single, When I Was By Your Side. Starting off strong with bold vocals, bright horns, and striking guitar tones, this track pumps you up with its intense, exciting energy. Balancing out the song, the verses focus on the rhythmic elements in the drums, allowing room for the chorus to shine.
The performance of the horns gives this song a breathtaking touch, showing their ability to color outside the lines of the indie-rock genre. This track is one of many on Ceylon Sailor’s debut album, released last month, called Here We Lie. This incredible group is based in NYC, performing in shows around the area.
