Undiscovered Gems – BRECHTJE, Swelles, Devereux Skies

We love the art aesthetic embraced by genreless genius BRECHTJE. Art knows no bounds within this intriguing effort. Their new single Look Away blends elements of trip hop and chamber pop convincingly. It’s a dreamy escape with subtle dark melodic tones mixed in. There’s a complexity to this dream scape, one that understands the deep essence of our existence. Her voice has a calming soothing nature, one that makes her works so easy to listen to. Hear for yourself.

Look Away is featured on our Women of Trip Hop Playlist.

Swelles broke us into amillionpieces with the video for his new single by the same conflicted name. The title is jumbled together like the clash it inspires. A crossroads of feelings intersect confusingly. What is this inherited depression we can’t shake and why does it infiltrate this ocean oasis? Is it everywhere? Dressed in a style familiar to early Bon Iver or Mk.gee, the new single balances the auras of beautiful and sad. We love that.

We love the sneaky nostalgia heard on It’s Always On My Mind, the new single from Devereux Skies. They cite an influence of turn of the century indie rock while accessing the classic 80s alternative rock that inspired it. We hear an element of shoegaze or The Replacements mixed with rock efforts known to Band Of Horses or My Morning Jacket. That’s an era we love. Welcome back.
