Avery Cochrane is breaking stereotypes and crashing through boundaries in polarizing fashion. She’s the Victoria Secret model looking rock and roll hybrid you weren’t expecting. Her new single You’re The Only One (I Never Performed For) is full of complicated contrast that’s admirable. The songwriting is smart and toes the line between Lucy Dacus and Olivia Rodrigo. Cochrane drops infectious vocal lines full of dreamy energy and intoxicating vibrato. Its the kind of radio quality single the underground can get into.

MacGregor Burns finds the middle ground between The Promise Ring and Mac Demarco with his new single Shake It. That’s right, we’re talking about late nineties addictive abstract emo band The Promise Ring. Like them, Burns doesn’t need a ton of lyrics to get his point across. He does it with feeling and a candid affect we find addictable.

Great Hare timely dropped their new single The Dark Blue Wave. That could mean so many things this week, but the cover image feels more post rock Moby Dick than anything else. The intro gives off that same energy, and feels infinitely tethered to some eternal journey. As the song evolves so does the mood, leaning more into a Smashing Pumpkins or The Cure style intellect. We love that sound.

We love the moody aura Modern Olympia brings to their new single Give Up The Ghost. Traces of melancholy and a new wave post punk spirit meets an influence of Radiohead on this delectable single. Its wildly addictive and full of delicate surprise. Between the earworm leads and the hypnotic vocal, Give Up The Ghost should please rock and indie electronic fans equally.

Evan Honer caught our attention with his new single Delusional. A country instinct embraces rock and roll influences on this dynamic release. It’s all double lifted by Horner’s impressive voice, one full of rust, wear, and emotion. Stylistically they find the middle ground between underground alt country and everything on the surface. We think he’s a hit. More than just music, Honer has an impressive backstory that includes a record label and lots of collabs. If you’re a fan of Tyler Childers or Sturgill, this should be a sure thing.
