dead people – Life Is Good

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

“Walking through a world of devastation, “dead people” overcome their melancholic mood to conclude that life is good. An optimistic single based on the 80’s familiar synth style, feathery vocals and its ghostly clip images.”

Following their latest release “Stay Dead”, Dead People released their fourth single “Life is good” on May 20th. Dead People’s previous release was the result of a successful collaboration with Netflix for the movie “Black Crab”. The song “Stay Dead” was the lead single of the soundtrack, amassing almost 65K Shazams and 314.2K streams worldwide across all platforms. The new single “Life Is Good” is a take on a more upbeat angle, where their inspiration from 80’s pop synth shines through – blending well with Dead People’s well known melancholic tonality.

Doolin’ – Circus Boy

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

“”Doolin'” from France drop their fresh and warm single with celtic elements and memorable lyrics. The singer recalls old moments of happiness, focusing on the importance of friendship. Nowadays, we tend to live in isolation and loneliness which are difficult to overcome.”

-Nagamag.com

Hailing from France, Doolin’ are an eclectic Celtic ensemble whose mastery of traditional Irish music has earned them an international following. Named after an Irish fishing village and largely comprising two different families, Doolin’ mix a variety of traditional and contemporary Celtic styles with elements of French folk and rock music. The band consists of brothers Nicolas Besse (guitar) and Wilfried Besse (vocals, accordion) and their cousin Sébastien Saunié (bass), along with Guilhem Cavaillé (fiddle) and brothers Jacob (whistles) and Josselin Fournel (bodhran). Since forming in 2005, they have released three studio albums as well as the 2013 concert album Live in Lorient. After signing with Compass Records, they traveled to the U.S. to record their 2016 self-titled fourth LP in Nashville, incorporating American roots music into their already unique sound.

Their new single Circus Boy (march 18th, 2022) was recorded at legendary Studio Ferber in Paris, ft the Screaming Orphans on BGVs. The track depicts a man recalling nostalgically his childhood as Circus boy in a traveling show and misses that life made of friendship & solidarity values. By referring to the virtuality of social links, isolation and individualism of the modern world this story echoes the last two years of pandemia that kept Doolin’ as many other bands from being on the road & deprived them of the happiness of sharing their music.

Nancy Mounir – Gannentini

Categories: The Latest, Video, World Music|Tags: , , , , , |

“With bold eastern character and lyrics of passion, Nancy Mounir introduces us to her upcomming release. Arabic vocals telling a story about a painfull separation in a mix of Ambient and instrumental sound patterns. Taste the difference of this song and forget about typical music.”

-Nagamag.com

Moody, hypnotic, and sneakily catchy, Nancy Mounir’s debut album Nozhet El Nofous—whose title means “Promenade of the Souls” in Arabic—explores microtonality, non-metered rhythms, and bold vulnerability through a musical dialogue between Mounir’s own arrangements and the sounds of archival recordings of once-famed singers from Egypt at the turn of the 20th century.

Adding her own ambient arrangements over voices haunted with passion and desire as she creates a sound that is warmly familiar but utterly new. The full spectrum of this ambitious approach can be heard on “Gannentini,” the latest hypnotic track from the upcoming album.

It’s out June 3rd via Simsara Records, with Nancy recently performing the album at the Alexandria Opera in Cairo with the a string orchestra.

The Feelings Parade – The Tides

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

“Enjoy a wonderful vocal duet unfolding their skillful guitar melodies in a song of Indie Folk style. Some crucial thoughts about life values are stated in those lyrics in order to conclude that nothing is assured.”

-Nagamag.com

San Francisco-based indie duo The Feelings Parade announce their debut album Let It Move You due August 19. Today, the songwriters share their next single and first track from the record, “The Tides.”

The captivating single vocalizes the discomfort we feel when the temporary homes we build, whether it be relationships, identities, or self-images are inevitably taken from us. The track opens the album with modular synth wave sounds created by synth legend Suzanne Ciani and a slow-burning growth of resonant strings and guitar, accompanied by a video.

In discussing the song, both singer-songwriters, Scott Ferreter and Morgan Bolender said, “In some ways, the song represents the mindset we both met in. Practicing choosing the truth of the unknown over comfort and safety.” They continued, “Both verses sing, ‘your job my son…’ and ‘your job my daughter…’ are Scott singing to himself. In that way, there’s an honoring of a sort of spiritual queerness.”

Deserto Parallax x Adaya – Song Of Fortune

Categories: The Latest, Video, World Music|Tags: , , , |

“A lovely song that transfers magic from the distant past in ourdays. Sound based on acoustic instrumentation, emphasizing on guitar and violin chords. The lyrics communicate an important message and more than two voices sing together. Definitely a must to listen.”

-Nagamag.com

Occupy the streets with Deserto Parallax’ „Song of Fortune“

Gather on the streets, people! Let’s be confident!. Is the new song by Deserto Parallax (to be released on the 29. of April) an ode to positive thinking? The people who know the singer Maximilian Tzortzatos and his band, furthermore have seen them live, know the answer to that question.

A colorful and diverse bunch of people in a peaceful parade through the streets of the Lorraine-Quarter in Bern, including Adaya up front, plucking the mandolin. There are groups of kids, women, men, citizens, humans and even some actors and actresses that are known city-wide.

We continue dreaming of freedom, peace and justice.

We will not yield until we have found our fortune.

The folk-song „Song of Fortune“ radiates an aura of Romany music, reminds us of a bard in medieval times or a roadtrip through Ireland. But the topics dealt with in the song are relevant today more than ever and meet the Zeitgeist spot on.

Mit Deserto Parallax auf die Barrikaden “Song of Fortune”

Lasst uns auf die Strasse gehen, voller Leidenschaft und Zuversicht. Die neue Video Single von Deserto Parallax (Release 13.5), eine Hymne an den Positivismus? Durchaus denkbar. Wer den wilden Griechen und Sänger Maximilian Tzortzatos mit seiner Band schon mal Live erlebt hat, kann dies bestätigen. Ein bunter Haufen zieht friedlich durch das Berner Lorraine Quartier, Adaya zupft die Mandoline an vorderster Front. Kinder, Frauen, bekannte Schauspieler/innen ziehen mit. Und während die Löwen brüllen, träumen wir weiter von Freiheit, Frieden und Gerechtigkeit. Nein wir werden nicht von den Barrikaden weichen, bis wir unser Glück gefunden haben.

Der Folk Track „Song of Fortune“ versprüht Gipsy Feeling, erinnert an die mittelalterlichen Minnesänger oder an einen Road Trip durch Irland, spielt aber im Hier und Jetzt und trifft den Nerv der Zeit.

Glassio – Queen of the Silver City

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

“The upcoming producer-songwriter “Glassio” invites us in his electronic world through disco drum machines, feathery vocals and vintage-styled synth waves. A unique opportunity to escape from daily madness and rejuvenate your spirit.”

-Nagamag.com

Glassio’s debut single “Try Much Harder” broke the Spotify Global Viral Charts in early 2016 (peaking at No. 9). A series of successful singles followed in 2017 and 2018, garnering over 5 million streams cumulatively on Spotify. The release of the singles “Morning House,” “Daydream” and “Back for More” brought Glassio to the top tier of up and coming electronic artists in NYC. They were soon opening for acts like Fujiya and Miyagi, Electric Youth and Miami Horror. “Daydream” became a dance-hit in Latin America, making it to No. 1 on the Dominican Republic iTunes Charts and finding itself on New Music Friday South America. 2018 saw the group perform at SXSW festival, where they were named one of the best electronic acts by Ladygunn Magazine.

After the project became a solo effort in 2018, Sam R. released the Age of Experience EP, heralded by Mother Jones as “proof that electronic music and great storytelling are a perfect match.” The EP has over 5 million streams across all platforms and features the song “Back for More,” featured on HBO’s Here & Now show.

A debut album, For The Very Last Time, was released in July of 2020. It was subsequently named one of the best electronic releases from July 2020 by Bandcamp, and received praise from blogs like Consequence of Sound and Fader. The lead singles “Nobody Stayed for the DJ” and “A Million Doubts” both made it to No. 1 on Hype Machine. The first of the two scored popularity amongst some of Spain’s biggest DJs (Amable, Hal9000, Nacho Ruiz) and the second achieved over 1 million streams between Apple and Spotify within it’s first 6 months of release. Renowned music blog “This Song Is Sick” named it “an immaculate piece of art.” It features backing vocals from Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Daneshevskaya.

His sophomore record See You Shine, a 17-song album that documents the exodus of a young adult out of a small town that shuns them for their beliefs and into the depths of the deserts of Arizona, looking for a new life in a distant city is out now. The record also addresses themes of resilience in the face of grief/loss – brought on by the pandemic – and is dedicated to his late father. The album’s sound marries Glassio’s passion for French and British electronic music with singer-songwriter tropes akin to Jackson Browne, or Wilco.

Outside of Glassio, Sam R. has co-written and produced songs with French Horn Rebellion, Clubhouse, warner case, NAKAYA and Madelyn Darling.
