(Video)

“Serious retro synth design, happy melodies and beautiful vocals, making this a good mood synthpop song!”

-Nagamag.com

One day, these two young men accidentally found a formula. They found a formula that could make the two of them nod their heads. They call it “The Nodding Frequency.” They decided to apply this formula to their musical work called Quencyland.

But something was missing, the two of them weren’t quite satisfied with their jobs, they thought “The Nodding Frequency” needed to be shared with the rest of the world.

Then the music album entitled “The Nodding Frequency” was born.

Will their goals be achieved? Can people all over the world enjoy the secret formula?

MKSM – Know Your Love – Orchestral
(Spotify)

“This song if had hands would be a warm hug from your loved one that goosepumb your whole body, when beautiful cinematic music, soft grooves and vocals with strong warm character join forces. Know your next love song here.”

-Nagamag.com

KNOW YOUR LOVE describes one of many online dates that was meant to serve as a desperate attempt to numb the throbbing loneliness - but this time the strange suddenly feels familiar ...

How come you're just a stranger
Somehow I know your love

The deep baritone of the verses and the soft sounds of the string orchestra give KNOW YOUR LOVE something that you won't forget and that grabs you and takes you in. A dull hopelessness that has almost been accepted as a dark companion threatens to gain the upper hand. The use of the reverby indie guitar chords and the subtle percussion elements support the voice in the chorus as it leaps over two octaves - deep-seated disappointment turns into hopeful confidence.

The cinematic 'CHAMBER POP' number, produced by Maxi Menot, appears as part of the LISTEN TO BERLIN compilation and shows the singer, songwriter and violinist, detached from the tracks of his debut EP, from another, completely new side. MKSM shows how many sides and moods alternative indie pop can have.

Prismatic Mantis – Ball of Light
(Spotify)

“Brilliant sound design which breaths and lush layering of many influences, acoustic instruments and synths, from electronica chill to rock and the positive sensational vocals, all together giving a strong sound experience and with listeners who love the details a place where details are full and with more listens you discover more.”

-Nagamag.com

"Ball of Light" is a sonic exposition to remind us of our unified origin. Production began in 2014 and has just been released. Self produced and refined to precise measurements, this Alt-Pop track is somehow in 15/8 and presents as an electronica chill out while also utilizing Math/Indie Rock principles. It ponders the Magical Force that this world fits within. We all share the same desire to ultimately feel peaceful, joyful, and creative. To be in a state of inspiration; in spirit... May this track reach far and wide to spread this positive message and provide inspiration to many.

The sonic vision of Prismatic Mantis, the moniker of multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer Mark Reynolds, is one that is impossible to pin succinctly down. Strongly influenced by Nature, Sacred Geometry and the Cosmos, Reynolds’ homogeneously progressive material flickers between downtempo electronica and slightly left-of-center fusion rock.

We Dream of Eden – Please Send Rain
(Spotify)

“When guitars meet ambient design, filled with lush reverbs, atmospheric soundscapes and warm keys, you have this wonderful ambient theme to daydream and laid back.”

-Nagamag.com

This is the first single of an EP entitled "When Skies Meet Shores" featuring the artwork of Memphis based artist Cat Lenke who was inspired by "We Dream Of Eden" previous releases to start working with water colors in the early mornings. The song is a lament mixed with hope about the present state we find ourselves in. When the fires are raging... we can pray for rain. When the rain does comes it brings healing to the land, and life to all.

Few words about We Dream Of Eden
From the imagination of composer & producer Kirk Smith comes a project to make minimal yet uplifting ambient music. Combinations of the organic and imperfect sounds of real life blend with the precision and playfulness of modern technology. Collaborations with friends from time to time form a collective of creatives seeking peace in a crazy beautiful world. This music creates a place to think, a place to breathe, a place to dream.

PHNTMS – Carabelle
(Video)

“An emotive song with heartwarming vocals and a wonderful chill harmonic atmosphere.”

-Nagamag.com

“Carabelle” radiates with emotive vocals, sweeping acoustic guitars and laid back soundscapes. “Carabelle” details the feeling you get after a toxic relationship ends and how even though there were red flags you still choose to be with that person.

Sitting somewhere between arena rock and the classic sound of 1960’s soul singers, Philadelphia based band PHNTMS creates music bursting with vast soundscapes and colliding instrumentation. Together, Alyssa Gambino, Adam Jessamine, Mikal Smith, and Gene Murphy are bringing back rock music while simultaneously putting their own unique stamp on it.

PHNTMS’ highly anticipated six-track self titled EP soaks up the band’s amalgam of influences, ranging from movie soundtracks and bands such as U2, Biffy Clyro, Kings of Leon and Deaf Havana, to powerhouse soul singers such as Amy Winehouse.

Inspired by everyday situations, relationships, and growing up, the band aims to create a feeling with which listeners can easily identify. Gambino reveals, “I think as songwriters, we try to capture these moments and make them as detailed as possible. We’ll always be fascinated by the fact we can freeze these moments…”

With half of the band identifying as queer, PHNTMS also hope to reach out to and support the LGBTQA+ community. Drummer Gene Murphy confides, “We openly talk about lesbian relationships in our music and we want to bring hope to anyone who is in the closet and doesn’t feel safe coming out. Whether you are out as queer or not, your identity is valid and if our music helps you escape heteronormativity for a brief moment.”

PHNTMS has seen success having performed opening spots for such acts as Kings of Leon, The 1975, Bastille, Fitz & The Tantrums, Empire of the Sun, Pale Waves, Emarosa, and Half Noise.

Kane Miller – Never Coming Back
(Spotify)

“What makes the contrast between many good solo guitar+vocals songs? Well hard to describe in words as the answer it comes from inside and is a combination of harmonics, shapes and turns/style of the vocals, depth of lyrics and how everything sync together beside the level of recording and mix which are necessary for such minimalism. We felt all these with Never Coming Back of Kane Miller, was no hard to pick this among many last days and proud to share this with you to discover!”
