You need to hear “Shadow,” the latest single release from up and coming indie-folk sensation Teghan Devon. This one tugs at the heartstrings with its sorrowful lyricism and atmospheric instrumental work, complete with long decaying reverb effects and washy drum tones. We dig the authentic vocal style presented here; her tastefully chosen vocal harmonies serving the song and propelling the groove forward as well. Fans of Phoebe Bridgers or Gracie Abrams will instantly connect with Teghan’s modernized folk sound. Do not miss out on what she has in store.

Hutton is back with their new single, “And So it Goes,” a deeply introspective ballad that speaks on the regret and self-sabotage associated with lost love. Her vocal performance in this tune is nothing short of elite – forcing the listener to feel her words on a profoundly emotional, intimate level. We feel nothing but her authenticity in this one; her painful memory reaching out to ask us for forgiveness and redemption. The production is masterful, the vocal harmonies are on point, and the instrumentation is melancholic, pairing beautifully with its desolate lyricism. We look forward to hearing what’s next for Hutton.

We cannot get enough of the mellow vibes that Cat Rose Smith has to offer with their latest single release, “Haunted House.” Pedal steel guitar engaging in a playful game of call and response with the vocal melody in its verse sections, euphoric vocal harmonies in the chorus, and that classic indie-folk sound that we adore. We love what we hear. Fans of boygenius will find themselves right at home with this one.

Graymarker caught our attention with “know you like that,” the first track from their latest EP release. With its memorable guitar work and relaxed, authentic vocal performance, this one left us wanting more. We love the catchy chorus sections and the ethereal droning tones in this powerful production. Their music bridges the gap between modern folk sensations like Gregory Alan Isakov and modern indie artists like Briston Maroney or even Flipturn. Be on the lookout for more from Graymarker and make sure to check out the rest of their recent EP.

And now for a NOT ON SPOTIFY shout out! The Mynabirds have joined a recent herd of artists who’ve had enough of Spotify’s unfair practices. It might cut her off from the benefit of the algorithm, but we’re here to help. We love the piano rich arrangement at the core of her new single Good Medicine. From the lush emotive vocal performance to the atmospheric orchestration, Good Medicine is a cinematic gem that recalls the influence of Jackson C Frank blended with a modern indie folk pop songwriter essence. Peep the vid above.
