WRENN – Hailey (Spotify)

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

“Waterfalls of the bitter, scalding tears are left invisible stains on your strong hands. Love and hate - all may be one. You can let me go, but I will love even at the edge of the universe. WRENN bring us into an emotional status with her heartwarming new song -Hailey-. Memorable! ”

“Водопады из горьких, обжигающих слёз оставляют невидимые пятна на твоих сильных руках. Любовь и ненависть - все едино. Ты можешь отпустить меня, но я буду любить даже на краю вселенной.”

-Nagamag.com

Trailblazing internet sensation WRENN has had a notable 2020 with viral success on TikTok, reaching 1.2M followers, and continues to make waves. Her newest uproar has come from WRENN using an audio clip of her ex admitting to cheating in the background of her newest single "Hailey." Talk about savage - but we're living for it. The TikTok video has 7 million views alone and shows no signs of slowing down while the single is currently charting at #9 on the Pop Charts.

WRENN reminds us that there's power in simplicity and a catchy chorus. In new single "Hailey" she reclaims her power, leaning into her own insecurities and putting all her feelings out there. (It also doesn't hurt to throw your cheating ex under the bus while you're at it.) "Out of everyone else, why'd it have to be Hailey," she croons in this low-key, indie-grunge pop track. Dealing with heartbreak is always tough, but blasting this track will definitely help.

"Ambient folk-rock with the same despondent heaviness as Portland artist Grouper and the vulnerability of London indie folk band Daughter." - The FADER

"Unapologetic emotion" - NYLON

"the 20-year-old Southern California native brings a grungy swagger with blaring feedback and pointed lyrics" - Billboard

"It will only be a matter of time until WRENN's extreme prowess for songwriting and performance makes her one of the leading ladies of indie rock." - Ones To Watch

"The tune evokes a 90s early grunge spirit that we all miss." - Ladygunn

Clearly, we're not the only ones feeling what WRENN's been putting out. This creative has been backed by numerous publications and just as many fans. Having previously received praise from tastemakers like The FADER, Ladygunn, NYLON, Billboard, Ones To Watch and many others, numerous placements on Spotify playlists including New Noise, Fierce Femmes, and All New Rock, this is is just the beginning. With sass, grit, and pure talent packed into her small frame, rousing firebrand artist WRENN is a force to be reckoned with.

WRENN now has over 86K Spotify followers, 47K Instagram followers, and over 1M TikTok followers who are loving her vulnerable honesty. The 22-year-old grew up surrounded by music and it's evident in her inherent knack for creating hits.

WRENN is an alt-rock artist and a self-proclaimed “sad girl” who uses music as a means of communicating her feelings to the world. Mixing soulful, thoughtful lyrical content with 90’s-esque grunge instrumentation, the essence of WRENN’s music is both reminiscent of the past and a portal into the near future. The 20-year-old Los Angeles native has been featured on American Idol and The Voice, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve (where she performed with fellow singer Rachel Platten). WRENN just finished her first nationwide tour – performing as a supporting act for headliner, viral music star, gnash; and even though she is at the beginning of her career, WRENN has already garnered Hollywood’s attention, having her music selected for the soundtrack of recent episodes of Ray Donovan and Lucifer. WRENN’s debut EP, goodmo(u)rning, is slated to be released later this year.

Yaw Evans – “Lion Paw” (Video)

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

“Yaw Evans presents his powerful “Lion Paw”. Starting with physical sound effects and going on with a stiff kick and rich hihats. Don’t miss this sophisticated Drum & Bass work.”

-Nagamag.com

https://yawevans.bandcamp.com/releases

Yaw Evans is an electronic music artist from South London known for his new and experimental approach to House, UKG, Jungle, Ambient and UK techno. Creatively inspired by London, Yaw’s distinctive electronic style is explorative, merging textures of his city’s culture, music and identity into his sound. These influences have coalesced to form his debut album, Memories of Now. Mystery Circles is proud to support this album with a release on all digital platforms and a limited edition of 50 cassettes. The release date is December 4th, 2020. Tape + Bandcamp digital preorder opens Nov 20th with the release of the“Lion Paw” video as the 1st single. Below are some excerpts of discussions with Yaw regarding his approach to the record.

INSPIRATION // INFLUENCE

“I see myself as a bit of a genre nomad and I wanted to create a set of tracks that spanned the various genres of electronic music that I’m into, whilst also not sticking to not just one tempo or style. Secondly, I wanted to use audio as a way of invoking memories of a given time and or place. The project is littered with audio recordings. Recording from my local underground station, local market streets, old radio sets, as well as past recordings of open public spaces like parks.”

TRACK DETAILS

“The title track is inspired by my fathers dementia which since the start of Covid lockdown measures, has seen a rapid decline in his memory, both short and long term. In particular with that track, I wanted to capture a sense of confusion and disorientation. There’s filtered vocals moving though the stereo field, which repeat over time but for the most part you can’t quite understand what they are saying. So you are not quite sure if you remember hearing it from earlier on in the track. Further, much of the ambience in that track (as well as others on the project) are made up of field recordings. The sound of a night club smoking area (pre-covid) or the sound of the street from my local market in Brixton.”

“There are vocal samples taken from old pirate radio recordings from the early to mid 00’s which I think give the opening track a sense of nostalgia. Especially for anyone who was lucky enough to live through that era of FM radio from in and around London.”

Yaw is also heavily involved in producer culture, sharing his methods + music with the vibrant online communities of hardware and production enthusiasts. He posts many of his live sets on his Instagram and YouTube. The closing track, “512 (Live Jam)” is indicative of that scene:

“The final track is a a recording of me jamming at my modular synth with drums provided by the Digitakt and WMD drum modules, with performance FX’s from the MC707. The whole thing is pretty raw and was done in one take with no real rehearsal and no post editing. Only compression and EQ in Ableton.”

Zerbin – Bonnie Doon (Video)

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

“Zerbin please us here with a unique, exciting sound and aesthetically pleasing content. His new work Bonnie Doon is a soulful, awe-inspiring story that will forever remain in your collection.”

“Zerbin – это уникальный, будоражащий наши чувства звук и эстетически приятное содержание. Его новая работа Bonnie Doon это душевная, вызывающая неподдельный трепет история, которая навсегда останется в вашей коллекции.”

-Nagamag.com

https://song.link/bonnniedoon

Bonnie Doon is the first single from Zerbin’s coming full-length record (Spring 2021). It’s a nostalgic alt-pop track about reconnecting with an old love after years of life have happened since. You were young and it never quite happened, but now there’s a chance again. Pulling from psychedelics and losing faith, it features Zerbin’s hometown, Edmonton, and carries that early fall feeling with a crisp air wrapping up a deep missing of the warmth of summer’s love. Sonically, it sets the tone for Zerbin’s first new work as a solo artist, showing a matured artistry wrapped up in lush indie-pop production, inspired by his time living in London.

https://www.facebook.com/thisiszerbin

Zerbin is a Canadian artist who rose to prominence in the Canadian indie scene with infectious tracks marked by emotive hooks and spiritual undertones. His works have been featured in international films, movie trailers, TV, and commercials, with best known tracks New Earth and Worlds on Fire finding spots in global advertising campaigns and features in film and TV including Grey’s Anatomy and So You Think You Can Dance.

Missing Years: Sin, Love – is a collection of b-side recordings and unfinished works by Canadian Artist & Producer Jason Zerbin (Zerbin). Missing Years traces Zerbin’s deconstruction of faith and perspective over the course of 7 years, and is constituted by reflections on the process of change, loss, and love. The project was produced across his 7 years on the road, with locations spanning cabins in the Canadian woods, the Devonian countryside, and East Berlin.

Skinny Dyck // Dreamin’ (OFFICIAL VIDEO) (Video)

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

“Never give up on the way to your seemingly impossible dreams. Regardless of the cold wind and chilly rain, remember that on the way to the event horizon, you will be rewarded. Thank you Skinny Dyck for remind us this, we shall keep dreaming until we make true most of our dreams! ”

“Никогда не сдавайся на пути к своим, казалось бы, несбыточным мечтам. Каким бы не был холодный ветер и обжигающий прохладой дождь, помни, что по пути к горизонту событий тебя ждёт вознаграждение.”

-Nagamag.com

An earworm loving driving song that leans on a twangy Duane Eddy like hook and takes advantage of indie rock sensibilities.

https://skinnydyck.bandcamp.com/

A discerning purveyor of hot twang and battered heart honky tonk, Skinny Dyck is equal parts revivalist and visionary. “I love Haggard” remarks Skin; both elbows on some hotel bar in Alberta. An apprentice of the pedal steel guitar and an inventive penman of song, the obvious country music influences don’t serve to demystify his talents. The debut full length LP “Get To Know Lonesome” sets the bar for lank, loser country that stays honest to its guts

Andrew Fernandes – Suavemente (Spotify)

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

“Suavemente is a smooth combination of Latin Pop and Commercial music elements. We loved the guitar melody binded together with the light beat and the Spanish attitude.”

-Nagamag.com

This song was inspired by Enrique Inglesias. It is a love song. It is about finding love and taking it slow.

Våke – Farer (Video)

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

“All the light that beats an invisible, warm ray from our souls, the one we carefully give to those who care and cherish so gratuitously. This heartwarming composition, witch comes from Norway, is a vivid example of this.”

“Весь свет, который бьёт невидимым, тёплым лучом из наших душ, мы бережно дарим тем, кто нам дорог и кого мы так безвозмездно любим и дорожим. Данная композиция, с приветом из Норвегии, тому яркий пример.”

-Nagamag.com

Våke is a Norwegian folk band, based in Oslo, that consists of Rannveig (vocals), Andreas (guitar) and Vårin (vocals and violin). They aspire to make unassuming, honest songs about things that matter. Their style is influenced by 70s folk and country, but they like to play around with different expressions.
