Lowercase People – Blooming (Spotify)
Lyrically revolving around the common misunderstanding and poor outlook Americans seem to have on homeless people, "Blooming", was intended to inspire people to love their fellow humans and to treat them as such. As far as the music goes, it was an experiment in restraint. We wanted to challenge ourselves to make a chill song and be slightly less indulgent than we have been with our other songs. We were very influenced by Scarypoolparty, Bjork, and DJ Shadow in the writing/recording process for this track.
-Noah Saunders (Keyboards/Vocals/Lyrics in the band.)
Mitch Hunt, Noah – No Stars Tonight (Spotify)
Swedish singer-songwriter Noah joins forces with producer Mitch Hunt in this 80's inspired song well suited for road trips and summer nights.
Neil Friedlander – Love Is a Ripple on a Lake (Spotify)
“'Love is a Ripple on a Lake’ is a song about letting go and moving on. I was holding onto the pain of the past for so long that it was starting to make me forget myself. Deep down though, a voice of truth was guiding me. I had to be truly alone to know it, but love will see you through.”
Aviv Meshulam produces the track with a gentle touch. Draped over a bass line reminiscent of a 50’s groove, the steady percussions, Japanese-inspired synths, and beachy electric guitars give it an atmosphere of laid-back 80’s warmth. The song is an alt-pop meditation, with Neil’s voice coolly navigating the calmness and at other times soaring breakthrough of realisation.
