a song about growing in up in Texas... life and death in Harlingen tx... El Paso Tx

Toler Gibson is a group of mountain dwellers living high above the clouds in California.

It started when Gibson, a Canadian born, Texas raised Angeleno moved from LA to the mountains of Idyllwild and met Toler, a Seattle born and raised Angeleno who had moved to Idyllwild from LA, three years prior. The two bonded on their love of country, folk, & psychedelic music and immediately started pickin’ and singin’ their favourite classics in one cabin or another. Toler Gibson was born.

The two have been in multiple other known bands such as Bell Gardens, Furry Things, Winter Flowers, Old Gold, as well as releasing solo material. TG started by playing their favourite old country tunes in the bars and roadhouses in Idyllwild but eventually turned into a fully fledged band. The band expanded when drummer Charlie Woodburn and bass player Rob Hume landed in Idyllwild from LA, then adding Drew Manne as their main pedal steel player. The band played their first original set at Grand Ole Echo in LA in 2018.

The boys started slowly tracking “The Days Before” in Gibson’s Heavy Meadows studio through 2019. They found a home with London based indie label Rocket Girl Records.

Sturt Avenue – Lions (Video)

Categories: Rock, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , , |

“-Lions- is a song of simple perception. It also carries a certain message of positive energy. Elegant mood and concept, excellent delivery and performance, coupled with philosophical overtones. You can feel the work from each party. A solo performance, organically followed by background melodic line.”

“Песня -Lions- простая на восприятие и несёт в себе определённый посыл и позитивный энергетический заряд. Шикарное настроение и концепция, отличная подача и исполнения вкупе с философским подтекстом. Чувствуется работа над каждой партией, сольным исполнением, органично вливающим в общий рисунок мелодичной линии.”

-Nagamag.com

‘Lions’ is a song that contrasts the idea of clinging to the good times and glory days with the sometimes fleeting feeling that the best moments of our lives are yet to come. Recorded and mixed by Bryn Soden and Patrick Lockwood at Electric Ant Records, and mastered by Matt Schultz, ‘Lions’ is accompanied by a music video which documents a late spring day that the band spent wandering through the Belair National Park in SA in search of a rumoured abandoned train station.

Skeleton Lipstick – Vapor Never Sleeps (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Electronica, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“Sparkling energy of electro house music, to the rhythm that feels comfortable in the walls of your favourite club and in larger festival venues too. You will bathe in its dynamics, amount of optimism and glittering beauty.”

“Искрящаяся энергия электро хауса, в ритме которой чувствует себя комфортно как в стенах любимого клуба, так и на больших площадках и красочных фестивалях. Вы будете купаться в её динамике, объёме из оптимизма, красоты и яркого блеска.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words with Nagamag behind his inspiration:

"For this track, I desired to make something that conveyed the tension of keeping up with art and information by fusing sound production ideas from vaporwave, future funk, electro and house

I wanted the drums to resemble a ticking clock & the additional percussion to suggest the sound of a frantic mouse or smart phone keys futilely clicking about trying to make sense of everything. In the end all ideas are subject to the forward momentum of decay and construction, nothing can be held indefinitely. We wear out, but the rhythm of art keeps pumping along. Vapor never sleeps

This song is swarming with restless pent up energy. It is the catharsis of my quarantine. No chill whatsoever, & the low end presses your chest so hard, you’d think someone was trying to resuscitate your heart. And I am." - Skeleton Lipstick

Maviii, Pete Rango – Time (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Blogwave, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , |

“With a current, meaningful narrative discussing the way our collective & personal perception of time has changed drastically in the past year. This sweet-toned song aptly entitled ‘Time,’ carries us along on a tide of emotion with a strong main melody, surrounded by engaging vocal harmonies and instrumentation.”

-Nagamag.com

Time has a funny way of playing games with our delicate minds. At times it can stand still, or feel like it's slipping away through our fingers. We created it, It's so valuable, and we all have a limited amount. When I was quarantined for 4 months alone time began to move in a way I have never experienced before. I was able to reflect on the parts of myself I wanted to change. This song encompasses what it feels like to navigate your life when time loses all meaning. To take cold showers to try and feel more present, to dance so you don't cry. Just like every challenge we face in this life, we grow through it.

Doppe & Kokke Interview on Nagamag

Categories: Features, House Features, House Interviews, Interviews, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , , |

.


Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?

Doppe & Kokke:
We are definitely in the area of house music, in particular tropical house, and EDM. But we don't want to limit ourselves. We have a couple of chillstep tracks on the way also. We love a good melody that you can go and whistle on for a long time after hearing the track.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Doppe & Kokke:
We have always been interested in music but never taken the step to produce our own. Our original careers are in a very different area. At least once per year we go on a road trip around Europe and we prepare for weeks before to have the right playlists to set the mood in the car. The last year we have not been able to go on a trip, but we missed it and the good music, so we decided it was time to produce some of our own beats that we can listen to when the lockdown is over.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Doppe & Kokke:
The last years from maybe where Avicii, Kygo and similar DJs started to breakthrough I think we found a genre that was more appealing for both of us. We have always liked electronic music, but adding a great singer and making awesome melodies talks to us.


Nagamag:
What is your next project?

Doppe & Kokke:
We have a few new tracks in the making, but we are not stressing them. Without revealing too much one of them we are especially fond of which is a kind of mix of tropical house and RNB beats. We are currently working with a great singer and when she is ready I believe we have the next hit song ready.


Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?

Doppe & Kokke:
Doppe: Jan Hammer Kokke: Gary Moore Doppe: "Miami Vice Theme" Kokke: "The Loner"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?

Doppe & Kokke:
Ehrling "Sthlm Sunset"

Gifts From Crows – As Nature Returns (NFO version) (Video)

Categories: Neoclassical, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , |

“Monumental epic breath comes from this classical composition. From this professional performance is obtained something unprecedented and never heard before, but definitely produces a striking impression.”

“От это классической композиции веет монументальной эпичностью, что в совокупности с профессиональным исполнением получается нечто невиданное и не слышанное ранее, но однозначно производящее поразительное впечатление.”

-Nagamag.com

In February, Gifts From Crows worked with the Northern Film Orchestra to perform 3 tracks from the debut album at Stoller Hall in Manchester. These are to be released as an e.p., ‘Northern Film Orchestra Sessions Vol. I’ and ‘As Nature Returns’ is the lead track. As the country was still under a national lockdown, the orchestra had not performed for 4 months and so jumped at the opportunity to undertake a socially distanced recording session.

The forthcoming E.P. is a stunning re-imagining of pieces from the album, ‘Holding a Thought Forever’, performed by a 20 piece ensemble, conducted by Melvin Tay and arranged by Alexander Proudlock. The NFO has a strong affiliation with the Royal Northern College of Music and many of the orchestra members are graduates of the Royal Northern.

Speaking about the session, composer Richard Laurence of Gifts From Crows says, “I’d been imagining this music being performed for so long but, with the ongoing covid situation, I didn’t know if it would be possible. Meeting the NFO was transformational in that sense and, whilst the social distancing was a challenge, just hearing your music played back to you by such wonderful musicians was an incredibly moving experience.”
