We found ourselves entranced from the onset of Please, the new single from Otracimi. Exotic and intoxicating, the singers impressive range reaches for the highest notes effortlessly in the songs trademark verse melody. Subtle swashes of melodic surprise take you on a musical journey in both vibe and song. Stylistically we hear their indie folk acoustic rock improbability familiar to projects like Big Thief and Grizzly Bear. That’s great company.

Mirabelle Skipworth caught our attention with her new single The Feast. An atmospheric lap steel scans the east coast skyline as the Pittsburgh by way of Illinois songwriter makes complicated peace with her affinity for Americana. A melancholy love song feels basked in lost despite its admiring narrative. One things for sure, Skipworth has felt something somewhere in between her time in the Steel City and among the plains of native Illini. Stylistically she finds the middle ground between Brandi Carlile and Zach Bryan.

There’s a deep reverence at the core of to fix a heart with words, the new single from momoyo. The singer’s urban touch brings something unique to this somber vibe. It’s like Amy Winehouse offering a tempered indie folk moment. The band honors that sad but sultry vibe with some sneaky groove. Stylistically they bridge the gap between Rhye and Damien Rice. Its really elegant.
