Cyrena Wages is back with her latest single release, “Find Out,” a 50s style folk anthem that instantly caught our attention with its eclectic vibe and masterful vocal performance. We love the classic americana instrumentation in this one; complete with a whining pedal steel guitar, piano lines that copy the vocal melody, and an acoustic guitar effortlessly carrying the groove alongside drums and electric bass.
With an exceptional rhythm section behind her, Cyrena shows off her excellent vocal chops without any help from backup vocals or harmonies. This honest, authentic style reminds us of artists like Brandi Carlile or even Amy Winehouse, bridging the gap between indie, folk, and soul influences to put out something fresh and exciting.

You need to hear “Behave (Scotty’s Version),” the newest single from emerging indie-folk artist Nick Jaina. The laid back, mellow atmosphere in this song is euphoric, to say the very least. We love the relaxed, tranquil vocal style presented here; meshing seamlessly with a low tempo groove and serene instrumentation. With minimal studio effects or autotune, the production style is straightforward and honest, allowing the vocalist and instrumentals to be heard as they truly are.
Fans of Noah and the Whale or Fruit Bats will feel right at home with this Nick Jaina’s authentic, refreshing take on the modern indie-folk scene. Do not miss out on this massively underrated artist. We look forward to hearing more.

Alien Eyelid recently released “Nesadel Club,” an intriguingly ethereal and melancholy tune that immediately has us wanting more. We love the music video that was released with this one. It shows a young woman who seems torn with direction, undecided with her chosen path. With lyricism concerning the decline in small music venues and loneliness in modern artists, this young woman represents the fading echo of artistic expression in a world that is no longer listening. The psychedelic visuals presented here complement the atmospheric production style in the song, and we cannot get enough.
Fans of Beach House or the Cocteau Twins will instantly connect with this dreamy indie style. Do not miss out on the next top-charting indie band.
