The album follows the release of a strings of singles including the expansive Sleepwalking, the groovey ‘Faded Fire’, the driving ‘Simulator’, the soulful ‘Mirrors’ and the propulsive ‘Pressure’, which served as an introduction to the band’s debut album – a coming of age tale capturing the emotional conflicts of love and loss through a journey of self-discovery, portrayal of personal growth and reflection in the modern age, all wrapped around the band’s texturally rich and well-crafted sound.

The upbeat alt groover album focus track — ‘Heartbeat’ — arrives alongside a euphoric backyard performance video. With sunny three-part vocal harmonies, bouncy guitar solos and catchy love-drenched choruses, “Heartbeat” shows Creature Canyon’s uncanny ability to embody their Southern California vibes to form their own niche, in the ever-evolving indie/alternative soundspace – Watch the ‘Heartbeat’ music video here.

‘Remarks’ was produced by Private Island frontman Christian Lum, engineered by Mike Schuppan (Foster The People, Young The Giant, Wolf Alice), mixed by Jordon Silva (Vance Joy, The Avett Brothers), and mastered by Brian Lucey (Cage The Elephant, Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys).

Talking about the album, Creature Canyon say; “creating this album has been a journey for us, both emotionally and sonically. We spent a lot of time early on in the writing process establishing a sound that collectively represented each and every member of the band. We all had equal contributions to the songwriting, pulling from each member’s past experiences to bring it all together”.

Formed in San Diego, CA, Creature Canyon encapsulates the fiery energy of indie/alt rock with waves of modern psychedelia. The band consists of members Austin Steele (vocals, guitar), Ryan Amyot (guitar), Kyle Victoria (drums), Aaron Lund (bass), and Luc Fralic (keyboards, percussion). Known for their thrilling and captivating live performances, Creature Canyon have received nods from Billboard, Paste, and many other industry tastemakers.

Building upon their prior EPs ‘Life I Know’ and ‘Did You Want That’, the band has made a considerable leap forward in their songwriting journey, seeking to tackle themes that deal with the emotional conflicts of love and loss through a journey of self-discovery.

Creature Canyon’s debut album ‘Remarks’ is out now via Gnu Roam/Kartel Music Group. Stream ‘Remarks’ Here. Watch the ‘Heartbeat’ music video here.

Some people seem to attract disaster, right? But does that turn them into so called losers? “Rock Bottom” tells the story of an unlucky one who’s born to win.

Winter Gardens – Crystallise

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

“Come through the atmosphere Electro Pop and become part of this enchanting performance. The vocalist’s voice takes somewhere to the distance, dissolving beyond the horizon and not letting go for a second! Music, which is capable of performing the incredible – pulling you out of the comfort zone.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Окажитесь в окружении атмосферы Electro Pop и станьте частью этого фееричного представления. Голос вокалистки уносит куда-то в даль, растворяя за горизонтом и не отпуская ни на секунду! Музыка, которая способна совершить невероятное — вытянуть вас из привычной вам зоны комфорта.”

-Nagamag.com

For fans of Chvrches, St Lucia, Foxes and more, Winter Gardens’ new single ‘Crystallise’ combines bubbling, transcendental synths and locomotive disco beats. Taking inspiration from some of the more avant-garde artists of the 1980’s, the track looks to create something not heard before but yet slightly familiar — a forward look into the future of the past.

Crystallise is the latest in a series of critically acclaimed singles from the Brighton-based band, following their 2020 debut EP ’Tapestry’. Led by the stunning vocals of singer Ananda Howard, the band’s music features cascading guitars, arping synthesisers, elegantly flowing keys, serene textures and a pulsing groove glued together with a brooding energy.

The single’s bright sound is matched by a lyrical message about the darker side of social media: “In an age of fabricated ideology that most of us maunder aimlessly through a digital reality, promoting and expressing your output can become almost overwhelming and ironically disconnecting” explains Ananda. “Expectations of image, “proving yourself” and an obligation to create statuses can cause a loss of context.”

“Романтический трек в жанрах Indie и Dream Pop поможет вам придать вашим мечтам немного солнечного и радужного колорита. -Roller Derby- расскажет вам историю любви, поможет открыть глаза и взглянуть на голубое небо, ведь именно там зарождаются настоящие чувства.”

El Gant – Pageants (feat. Ras Kass)

Categories: Hip-Hop, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , |

“”El Gant” and “Ras Kass” team up to communicate their ideas and spread messages of confidence, high self-esteem and creativity above average. Another explosive single of clear Hip-Hop style which shouldn’t miss from your top music choices.”

-Nagamag.com

El Gant shares the slick new video for “Pageants,” his lyrically charged single featuring none other than Ras Kass as well as neck-breaking production from Marco Polo.

Mo Stafford is on directorial duties for the video, which centers on shots of the two emcees spitting their verses while posted up in a low-key apartment. It’s a fitting setting for this type of track, because it’s all about eschewing pageantry and over-the-top BS in favor of artistry and lyrical content.

That feeling is truly palpable in the video. Backed by Marco Polo’s piano-stomping production, El Gant and Ras Kass detail their passion for hip-hop that goes well beyond a need for recognition. It’s an inescapable drive that’s in their blood—or, as El Gant says so eloquently on the hook, “The game came into my life like a bad habit.”

Check out the video, and head over to your preferred streaming platform to support. “Pageants” is set to appear on El Gant’s forthcoming LP, O.S.L.O., which is due out Oct. 7 via El Gant’s own Rule By Secrecy label. You can pre-order the album starting Sept. 16, including vinyl through the emcee’s partnership with Fat Beats.

The Bergamot – Paradise

“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!”

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.

Jordan Fletcher – Death and Taxes

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

“Gences such as historical Country and Americana perfectly convey everything that has accumulated in the composer’s soul. The structure of the track in this work very competently reflects the whole range of emotions, something real, living and human is felt. Music that comes from the heart.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Такие жанры, как исторические Country и Americana отлично передают всё то, что накопилось в душе композитора. Структура трека в этой работе очень грамотно отражает весь спектр эмоций, чувствуется нечто настоящее, живое и человеческое. Музыка, которая исходит из самого сердца.”

-Nagamag.com

Jacksonville-born and Nashville-based singer/songwriter Jordan Fletcher conveys his personal story with play-by-play urgency and intense attention to detail. All of the songs Jordan sings are 100% autobiographical and delivered as soulful country, spiked with a light-hearted rock spirit that brings hard-fought life lessons to the masses through honest songwriting.

Death and Taxes,” is a follow up to his critically acclaimed Dave Cobb produced debut EP True Stories, released earlier this year via Triple Tigers Records. “Death And Taxes is a song about advice my dad gave me that I’m now wanting to pass on to my son,” says Jordan. “It’s about life, death, love, and family and feels like the perfect way to sum up this personal journal that ended up becoming an album” and WMOT calls the song “a rollicking tribute filled with an upbeat nostalgia that focuses on joy rather than loss.”

LDN Monos – Samsara

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

“”LDN Monos” presents his fresh release, with plenty of electronic vibrations and fast progression. Cool patterns of percussive sound, rich effects and hypnotic vocals are waiting you to discover them. Also followed by an exclusively artistic clip which should also watch.”

-Nagamag.com

London based Producer and Multi-Instrumentalist LDN Monos (aka Curtis Neil) releases his 3rd single, ‘Samsara’. Following the ultra atmospheric work of ‘First Exit’ and ‘East Heath’, ‘Samsara’ delivers on Electric Sound of Joy’s recognition of the artist’s ‘boundless promise’.

Led by a vocal line sung in Chinese dialect, the track includes an array of sampled world instruments: the inspirative sound of Erhus and Santurs give way to mournful, reverb soaked synth lines. This transition is indicative of the overarching theme and feel of the song: light cannot exist without dark and both elements survive in a an indefinite cycle of death and rebirth.

Having been covered by an array of blogs such as Indie Shuffle, Palms Out Sounds and Last Day Deaf, Neil builds upon the attention garnered from his first two singles. In reaction to the chaotic harmony of debut release, ‘First Exit’, Loudness blog noted that, ‘it all happens so organically that you discover more and more details only after repeated listens’. Such an intricacy of detail is further explored in ‘Samsara’. Neil states that, ‘I wanted to release it as the final single before the album, since it’s the truest representation of what I was trying to achieve with the LP. The track begins with a bright and upbeat vibe, which gradually transitions over its duration: ultimately, the feel of the song is shaped by the intensity and darkness of the chorus. Both sentiments sit alongside each other in a balance’.

Having garnered a reputation for hypnotic and engaging music videos, which led to an inclusion on ADSR’s ‘Sonic Cinema’ series, ‘Samsara’ stays true to form with a poetic portrayal of a synchronised swimming team. Adjusting scene clips to sync up with the rhythm of the track, the video translates the relentless energy of the song into a colourful and inspiring portrayal of individual efforts amalgamating to create a harmonious organism. The video will be available to stream along with the release of the track.

2022 has seen the emphatic rise of LDN Monos within the underground electronic music scene. This attention will be further satiated with the release of the debut album, ‘August In Winter’. The full length will be available to stream in November. The artist is currently working on a follow up to this LP, set to be released in 2023.
