Sister Strongman – Evening Machine

Matthew Ryan Jacobs – Sun Goes Down

Matthew Ryan Jacobs – Sun Goes Down
(Spotify)

“The beautiful, melodic intro, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and vocals -matthew ryan jacobs-. Further, as if an emotional whirlwind surrounds you from all sides by a smooth rhythm and the atmosphere of the americana genre is pounced on you with a huge flurry of warm wind!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Прекрасное, мелодичное интро в сопровождении акустической гитары и вокала -Matthew Ryan Jacobs-. Далее, словно эмоциональный вихрь окружает вас со всех сторон плавный ритм и атмосфера жанра Americana набрасывается на вас огромным шквалом тёплого ветра!”

-Nagamag.com

Sun Goes Down actually had a few different versions, same lyrics and arrangement, but several different rhythms and playing styles. One was more country, one leaned more towards blues, and the final version. In the end I think I made the right choice, I love Sam Cooke, and Otis Redding, and there might be touch of that vibe. Not that I could ever get anywhere near them.

Lyrically it’s kind of a story about where I was heading or loosely based on people I know or have known. It’s a little bit about addiction, and not wanting to let go of your youth; when drinking and partying just slowly turns into your life; and people and things start passing you by. You feel like you’re “living” but, you’re stuck in one place.

NULL STATE – Why Should I Worry?
(Spotify)

“Why should you worry when you are greeted and escorted to sunsets and sunrises? Why should you be sad and feel the void inside, when there is such a wonderful, sincere, acoustic folk music nearby. Enjoy this day, this week, month and year. Live and feel how your life lives -null stat-.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Почему вы должны беспокоиться, когда вас ежедневно встречают и провожают закаты и восходы солнца? Почему вы должны грустить и чувствовать пустоту внутри, когда рядом есть такая замечательная, душевная, акустическая Folk музыка. Наслаждайтесь этим днём, этой неделей, месяцем и годом. Живите и чувствуйте, как проживает свою жизнь -NULL STATE-.”

Suni – At the heart of things
(Spotify)

“The pleasant sound of the guitar strings of the genre Indie Rock, floating somewhere in zero gravity vocals, the slow pace of the rhythm and the atmosphere of complete idyll. Music for sunset and sunrise, for dinner by candlelight and kisses in the arms of a loved one.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Приятный звук гитарных струн жанра Indie Rock, плывущий где-то в невесомости вокал, медленный темп ритма и атмосфера полной идиллии. Музыка для заката и восхода солнца, для ужина при свечах и поцелуях в объятиях любимого человека.”

Dewey Parker – Citrus Waltz

Dewey Parker – Citrus Waltz
(Spotify)

“Dewey Parker shares a representative example of his inventive mind sculpting catchy instrumental sounds and merging together different rhythmic patterns! Idealy suitable for the Folk Rock audience, this single can easily affect any other kind of listener too.”

-Nagamag.com

Packed with catchy, vintage-feeling guitar riffs and inventive, out-of-the-box rhythms and drumming patterns, "Citrus Waltz" feels familiar and soothing, while keeping you guessing. Just when you get into the 4/4 groove, the track switches into another time signature ("Is it a 3/4 waltz, or is that 6/8ths?!"). But, wait... time for a killer 80s sax solo! Explains Dewey, "I wanted to write a song that had a bridge in a different time signature. This song is actually two separate ideas that magically were able to come together."

The Bergamot – Paradise

The Bergamot – Paradise
(Video)

“What is Paradise in your view? Perhaps an uninhabited island? Or a bottomless bowl filled with life -giving moisture from the holy source? But if paradise for you is music, then this composition in the americana genre and performed by -the Bergamot will become a real revelation and gates into the world of dreams. Welcome!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Что в вашем представлении Рай? Быть может необитаемый остров? Или бездонная чаша наполненная живительной влагой из святого источника? Но если Рай для вас это музыка, то эта композиция в жанре Americana и в исполнении -The Bergamot- станет настоящим откровением и вратами в мир грёз. Добро пожаловать!”

Who are the band members and what do they play?

Nathaniel Paul Hoff – Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica, Piano, Synth Jillian Speece – Vocals Cameron Nagle – Drums

How and where did you get together?

The band formed when Nathaniel and Jillian met in high school in South Bend, IN. The duo wrote a song together and the rest is history.

What are the band’s main influences?

Wilco, Mac DeMarco, Dave Matthews Band, Barenaked Ladies, Tame Impala

Have you played any notable gigs, festivals or other events? Likewise radio or TV appearances?

We are opening for the Barenaked Ladies on October 1st 2022 at the Morris 100 Fest in South Bend, IN. The band has also been featured in “Rock Band: Rivals” the video game.

Are there any other interesting or amusing happenings – no matter how small – that the band have been involved with that would be of interest to those who like your music?

We also just won the “Audience Choice” award for our documentary “State of the Unity” at the Montauk Film Festival in Montauk, NY. We premiered our film at the Sedona International Film Festival in Sedona, AZ where we won the “Excellence in Filmmaking” Award followed by the “Best Documentary” at the Paris Independent Film Festival, the “Best Directors of a Documentary” at DocuFest, and the “Artistic Pioneer” award at the Richmond International Film Festival. It has been a banner year for the group and they are releasing a new album “Far Out” the day before they open for the Barenaked Ladies.

Do you have any favourable quotes from previous reviews of the band that you’d be happy to share?

“The Hottest Emerging Talent” -People Magazine

“The Perfect Blend” -EARMILK

“Lush” -PARADE Magazine

Where was the single/EP/album recorded and who was involved in its production?

The single/album was recorded in closets, rooms, and cars across the country. Matt Wiggins (Glass Animals, Adele, Florence and the Machine) mixed the album.

Is there a particular ethos behind the single/EP/album or any particular music styles or events that inspired it?

“Paradise” and the record “Far Out” marks a huge development of the band after the massively successful release of their debut full length documentary “State of the Unity”.

Can you briefly describe what the song/each song is about? If you are releasing an album then either describe the thinking behind the project or choose a couple of lead tracks to focus on.

Paradise is a song about letting go of our devices and learning to live again. There is no hope in chasing lies. The song was composed at a time when we could not move about freely – yet the desire to travel and see others was greater than ever.
