Interpretive dances are likely when caught up in the catchy bliss of sleep deceit, the new single from Mega Fäuna. An eighties pop influence infiltrates indie pop instincts elegantly on this magnetic release. The singers smooth timbre graces the surface carefully as an inspired synth charts melodic earworms in tandem. The Australian all female five piece has serious writing and arrangement chops, bringing the influence of The Cranberries into the Boy Genius canon.

Eden Rain welcomes a new age with her new single Open Season. Clever production intersects infectious melodic rhetoric on this catchy gem.

Open Season is a vibe and we’re all for it.

New Wolves caught our attention with their new single We Are Crowds. The unique approach to writing while retaining an approachable melodic essence tickles our fancy. They find the middle ground between Radiohead and Rhye. Its sensual and soulful but refreshingly innovative. That’s what we like. The indie electronic UK three piece has our full attention.

Anya Anastasia is the real thing. Whether she’s bringing it on stage (see above) or embracing all that the studio has too offer she shines. Further evidence is found on the studio take of the aforementioned Mothership. The South Australian art rock siren makes the studio her servant with an effective performance that showcases the effectiveness of her band. The interplay between bow, string, and drum is entrancing. Anya herself uses her voice like a spiritual guide to chart the course to The Mothership. Its imaginative and gloriously cinematic. Stylistically she’s a sure than for fans of Grizzly Bear or Dirty Projectors.
