Paul Weinfield – A Mind Needs to Rest
(Spotify)

“The new album by Paul Weinfield - Things I Should Have Told Myself a Long Time Ago dictates to us an ordinary life story about simple and understandable life values. But, as one of the songs (A Mind Neends to Rest) says, even a serene mind needs rest on such a long journey of endless search for truth.”

“Новый альбом Paul Weinfield - Things I Should Have Told Myself a Long Time Ago диктует нам обыденную историю жизни о простых и понятных жизненных ценностях. Но, как поётся в одной из песен (A Mind Neends to Rest) даже безмятежному разуму нужен отдых на таком долгом пути бесконечных поисков истины.”

-Nagamag.com

"A Mind Needs To Rest" is a folk song about a breakup and about the importance of giving yourself a chance not to think about the other person.

Ivory Layne – Confetti [Official Music Video]
(Video)

“The music and vocals of Ivory Layne are a special, transparent as a rock crystal, state of mind. Just listen to her work Confetti, where every second spent alone with her will make your heart beat like at the end of the last day. You need to feel it. It needs to be heard. This must be understood.”

“Музыка и вокал Ivory Layne – это особое, прозрачное как горный хрусталь, состояние души. Вы только вслушайтесь в её работу Confetti, где каждая секунда проведённая наедине с ней заставит биться ваше сердце как на исходе последнего дня. Это нужно прочувствовать. Это нужно услышать. Это нужно понять.”

-Nagamag.com

London, UK: January 29th, 2021 – Rising Nashville-based singer songwriter Ivory Layne announces the release of her debut EP ‘Confetti’ today, and releases mesmerising music video for the title track.

Shot in her own home while in quarantine in Nashville, the music video for ‘Confetti’ resonates with Ivory’s love of movie soundtracks and captures the stirring ethereal ode to moving on from ‘the party that was so hard to leave’. The quarantined-inspired music video was directed by artists Aaron Campbell and Gatton with full art direction, styling and editing duties courtesy of Ivory herself. You can watch the video here

Ivory explains, “I wanted something colourful that we could feasibly bring to life in the confines of my place. We created ‘the party that was so hard to leave’ from the bridge of Confetti with cake, streamers, and glitter that refuses to help pay rent but somehow insists on sticking around.”

Set for release on the 18th of February 2021, the ‘Confetti EP’ is a collection of powerfully emotive songs that shows just why Billboard tipped her to become “the new Adele” and places her in the sphere of contemporary pop polymaths like Maggie Rogers.

Produced by Nick Atkinson and Edd Holloway aka The Barn Productions (Lewis Capaldi, Gabrielle Aplin, Dean Lewis) Jimmy Robbins (Keith Urban, Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert) and Ivory herself, the Confetti EP is Ivory’s first UK release since signing with Justin Timberlake’s development company Villa 40 and showcases the unique voice and masterful songwriting that caused Timberlake to sit up and take notice of Ivory’s talents.

Tipped for stardom by the likes of Billboard, V Magazine and Live Nation’s Ones To Watch, Layne’s remarkable talent has garnered critical acclaim as well as attracting a wealth of stellar collaborators.

In just a few years, she’s worked with Grammy award-winning producer Ed Cash (Dolly Parton, Amy Grant) on her debut EP; collaborated with Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness and Needtobreathe; written for other artists alongside co-writes with some of Nashville’s finest including Jimmy Robbins, Shane McAnally and Lori McKenna. Layne’s sharpness in the writer’s room has also landed her two global ad campaigns, one for prestigious jewellery house Swarovski and another for cable giant, HBO.

The Confetti EP is primed to cement Layne’s reputation as one of the world’s finest, rising female talents.

TOLEDO – Dog Has Its Day
(Spotify)

“Dog Has Its Day instantly painted our faces with smiles from the first lines of the song of the same name. Melody of independent folk music or simply and laconically Folk, this is freedom and independence in every note. TOLEDO is talent. And nothing else.”

“Dog Has Its Day мгновенно разукрасил наши лица улыбками с первым строк одноимённой композиции. Мелодичность независимой народной музыки или просто и лаконично Folk, это свобода и независимость в каждой нотке. TOLEDO - это талант. И никак иначе.”

-Nagamag.com

Dog Has Its Day is about the lull after the initial chaos of a relationship breakup. It’s about the time where you play detective, trying to piece together exactly what it is that brought you here. Ultimately, it’s beyond the point, and you try to let things play out as they will.

Like a lot of the songs on the EP, we tracked drums first, and then spent a majority of the time adding background oo’s and ahh’s. The bridge section here is one of our favorite spots. Also, who doesn’t love dogs?!

TOLEDO is an indie project from Daniel Alvarez and Jordan Dunn-Pilz. Based out of Brooklyn, NYC. Inquiries or any requests from us please email parker@thebandtoledo.com we would love to hear from you!

Emile Mosseri, Han Ye-ri – Rain Song | Minari (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
(Video)

“Two young artists work together in this soothing soundtrack which welcomes Winter in a really warm way. The unique Koreatic lyrics mainly focus on a -waiting for the rain- mood.”

-Nagamag.com

Award winning composer Emile Mosseri, known for his music in The Last Black Man in San Francisco and Kajillionaire (which featured his collaboration with Angel Olson), is scoring the critically acclaimed A24 film Minari, out 2/12 via Milan Records.

The music is an emotionally evocative body of music that enhances the film’s intimate storytelling. Making its debut today alongside album preorder is the soundtrack’s lead single “Rain Song,” a hauntingly beautiful and moving piece featuring vocals from actress Yeri Han, who stars in the film as Monica. Performed by Yeri Han as a lullaby, “Rain Song” came together as a collaborative effort between Mosseri and Korean translator and lyricist Stefanie Hong, who worked with Mosseri to adapt his original English lyrics into the Korean language.

Eve Adams – A Walk in the Park
(Spotify)

“Just as folk music brings together genres of music and people, so is Eve Adams doing with us in their composition A Walk in the Park. The unobtrusiveness and ease of being that unites our hearts.”

“Как фолк-музыка объединяет музыкальные жанры и людей, точно также и Eve Adams поступает с нами в своей композиции A Walk in the Park. Ненавязчивость и лёгкость бытия объединяющая наши сердца.”

-Nagamag.com

Independent jazzfolk artist Eve Adams follows her captivating "You're Not Wrong" single with her newest offering "A Walk In The Park," due out next week. As a captivating writer from Los Angeles who heralds the undying influence of 20th century Americana music, her folk-noir sound tells stories of "dark, domestic dramas unfolding behind closed doors, equal parts violence and romance."

"Just like a walk in the park, we can go on and on," Adams croons in the opening line of her new single. Delicate and naive vocals are accompanied by a jazzy bass line, dramatic, tumbling organ and hazy percussion. The song seems to creep in from down a dark hallway, where a woozy pair of high heels tap on the sticky linoleum floor. Eve questions fate in this new track and shares, "Romance can be such a perfect distraction. It's a shame it doesn't last."

"To me, this song is about escaping into the fantasy of a new romance. Like the feeling of getting to know someone new, walking around in the dark, with nothing but the night to notice," she adds.

Eve spent her formative years traveling to and from her family farm in the tiny town of Colcord, Oklahoma. Inspired by the pastoral landscapes and the nuanced characters she grew up around, her whimsical tales depict a world that is familiar yet surreal, haunted by apparitions.

Eve's coming of age coincided with her departure to Montreal at the age of 18. A fortuitous meeting with saxophonist Military Genius led to the recording of her first album "In Hell" (2017)- Part I of their "Divine Romance" trilogy. While writing Part II, the blossoming creative relationship was cut short when Eve had to return to California due to a family crisis. During this time of uncertainty, Eve self-produced and released her second album "Candy Colored Doom" in 2019.

In the emotional wake of a tragedy, Eve rejoined Military Genius in Vancouver to finally complete the long-awaited Part II.
