Chavis Chance – I Hope I Die First
(Spotify)

“Music is forever imprinted in the subconscious strength and beauty, to which you want to return every day. And similar indie folk tracks help to open the doors of your soul earlier, exposing it and demonstrating how beautiful and warm can be there.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Музыка — это навсегда запечатлённая в подсознании сила и красота, к которой хочется каждый день возвращаться. И подобные Indie Folk треки помогают приоткрыть незнакомые ранее двери вашей души, обнажая её и демонстрируя, как же может быть там красиво и тепло.”

artist said about this song:

"I Hope I Die First started out as bit of a bitter joke... but as I got deeper into writing it, imagining these two young people sitting on top of a parking garage just like my friends and I used to do in high school, I found it just turning more and more into a completely sincere statement. I imagined those two people looking out at theirs lives together with all the hope, fear, and anticipation that time brings. The song tries to zero in on that feeling.

I recorded the whole thing remotely with my good friend and multi-talented producer Kauner Michael. We met in Spain but did the vast bulk of the work from different hemispheres as he'd moved on to Los Angeles. The timezone difference was a challenge but it's amazing how much of it felt like we were in the same room thinking back on it.

We tried to work in some darker sounds to the production to bring a bit of a counter dimension to how uplifting the sound is. That's where the super low notes on the piano came from, and there's some really evil pads way down in the mix. Then Gianluca Magalotti, bass, and Matt Benthall, electric guitar, sent their parts in - totally nailed it - and it was suddenly a song."

Tom Moran – Oh Darling
(Video)

“It’s good when someone awaits us and how nice it is when this expectation is mutually. -TOM Moran- It draws us in his song bizarre images from childhood and is in no hurry to grow up. Acoustic music acts like a mug of hot cappuccino, warming and calming.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Как хорошо, когда нас непременно кто-то ждёт и как же приятно, когда это ожидание взаимно. -Tom Moran- рисует нам в своей песне причудливые образы из детства и не спешит взрослеть. Акустическая музыка действует как кружка горячего капучино, согревая и успокаивая. ”

NEW YORK, NY | JULY 12, 2022: Singer-songwriter Tom Moran has dropped the accompanying music video for single “Oh Darling” off his recently released debut album, Roommate of a Friend of Mine. The full length album, released worldwide on September 24, is an introspective testimony to finding yourself amidst the chaos.

The single, “Oh Darling” allows listeners to dive deep and finds themselves in a story of wanting to reunite with a childhood love. Paired with an acoustic ambiance and nostalgic lyrics, you are left reaching your hands out for that chance — knowing you’d never let them walk out again.

“‘Oh Darling’ was written early in my songwriting life. Someone I cared a lot about was sent away and I had no way of contacting them, so I wrote songs to deal with that pain. The song can be misconstrued as a break up song but it’s very far from that.” – Tom Moran

The newly released music video features animations curated by director/creative James Morano. To support the wholesome storytelling of “Oh Darling,” the drawings used in the latest visual were created by none other than Tom Moran himself. From beginning to end, listeners are left in a swirl of emotions as the single’s narration comes to life.

“I always wanted to make an animated video. I originally wanted to be an animator when I was a kid. I chose ‘Oh Darling’ because I thought it was a flagship song from the album, even though it was not one of the original singles. The visual story of the video came together as I went along drawing whatever came to mind while going through the lyrics line by line. I didn’t really know where it was going until I was drawing the last few parts.” – Tom Moran

When singer-songwriter Tom Moran makes reference to scenes like being stuck in traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge, he’s not trying to get you to imagine yourself in a romanticized version of the Big Apple. He’s just a person trying to get home. And in the rare instances where famous landmarks appear on his full-length debut Roommate of a Friend of Mine, Moran strips away the glow of coolness that so often enshrouds them, making space for the kind of quiet introspection we rarely associate with the metropolitan grind.

Roommate of a Friend of Mine is an album that very much points you back down to earth with songs that find their way to wherever you happen to be, to hit you where you live in every sense of the term. One can feel out of place—and learn how to find one’s place—anywhere. And it’s between those two poles of experience that a lifetime’s worth of highly relatable, almost beautifully mundane, interactions unfolds across the ten slice-of-life turns of rippling folk-pop the album showcases.

Check out the official premiere for Tom Moran’s new animated music video exclusively via PopMatters. The debut album, Roommate of a Friend of Mine, is available for listening across streaming services everywhere.

XATIVA – Here With Me
(Spotify)

“Singing -xativa- can be compared with a lone fairy in a snowy forest. You hear her voice and watch, as underfoot, carpets of flowers appear through the thickness of snow. A very beautiful work, a real journey to the fantasy world.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Пение -XATIVA- можно сравнить с одинокой феей в заснеженному лесу. Ты слышишь её голос и наблюдаешь, как под ногами, сквозь толщу снега проступают ковры из цветов. Очень красивое произведение, настоящее путешествие в фентезийный мир.”

-Nagamag.com

Here With Me is the second song from XATIVA’s upcoming EP ‘Fly Away’. Whilst the rest of the project is coloured by a fairly overt sense of sadness, this song offers a certain lightness and sense of calm, however momentary, to the EP. In the song, XATIVA considers how when we miss someone, we might take courage in the reassurance that although they might not be physically near, the idea of them remains always close.

John Calvin Abney – Watch Me Go (Back In Time)

John Calvin Abney – Watch Me Go (Back In Time)
(Video)

“The beautiful sequence of chords and the voice -John Calvin Abney- allowed this indie folk composition to become a real hit, delighting everyone with its melodicity and fabulous sound. The minimalist, acoustic design pleasantly and gently falls on the soul.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Красивая последовательность аккордов и голос -John Calvin Abney- позволили этой Indie Folk композиции стать настоящим хитом, радуя всех своей мелодичностью и сказочным звучанием. Минималистичное, акустическое оформление приятно и нежно ложится на душу.”

-Nagamag.com

Acclaimed singer-songwriter John Calvin Abney has released his new single “Watch Me Go (Back In Time)” today (July 8), the final pre-release single from his highly-anticipated new album Tourist, due out on Aug. 5. Filmed and edited by Rahul Chakraborty, the engaging, colorful clip also marks Abney’s first directing credit. Watch the full music video via YouTube.

Anchored by Abney’s trademark lyrical candor, “Watch Me Go (Back In Time)” was born from an especially notable period of reflection during his solo travels across the country during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Written after I made my way to Austin, Texas and took up residence in a small room near city limits, the song speaks of our ubiquitous desire to go back in time and change events instead of accepting how the cards fell and moving forward,” Abney says. “Information technology has made nostalgia a currency that puts many folks in an emotional debt for a time that no longer exists anywhere except memory. This song is about acceptance, and communicating through the cold lights of tech.”

“I could call me a cab / Run up another tab / But I think I’ll stay,” Abney quietly declares, choosing a different path — at least for the night. “Work and sleep have been thin / And high street line seems so far away.”

“Watch Me Go (Back In Time)” is the fifth and final pre-release single from Abney’s upcoming record Tourist, due out Aug. 5 via Black Mesa Records. In June, Abney shared the reflective track “Call Me Achilles,” which explores that intensive urge to make a fresh start and leave your past behind. The song earned acclaim from Americana UK, calling it “a song that has life in it – not so much a toe-tapper as a hip-shaker with an irresistible groove, as Abney sings like one slinking effortlessly from location to location.”

Penned on Christmas Day of 2020 in Tulsa, “Call Me Achilles” finds Abney reflecting on past weaknesses while making plans for a fresh start. “I’m a cloud of dust / I’m out of this town,” he proclaims. “I got hung up / I know better now.”

Previously, Abney shared the captivating tracks “Sleepwalkers,” “Full Moon Friend” and lead single “Holy Golden West.” Each song gives listeners a glimpse into the whole of Tourist, a project born amidst a journey Abney first started shortly after the pandemic began, taking him from San Francisco to Austin. At each town and pit stop along the way, Abney paused to take in his surroundings and all the characters who weaved in and out of those new backdrops. The songs on Tourist paint those scenes onto a new canvas, poetically examining the passage of time, the places we call home and how even the smallest of moments can leave a lasting mark.

Instead of hunkering down in a studio, Abney recorded the tracks on Tourist remotely from the hotel rooms and spare rooms of friends’ homes that he stopped in during his long, explorative journey. He found inspiration from the soundtrack that eminated from his car speakers along the way, with a wide-ranging playlist that included Elton John, The War On Drugs and Harumoi Hosono. Longtime friend and creative collaborator John Moreland added his own contributions to the tracks from afar, using modern technology to shorten the distance between them.

Tourist continues a thread first sewn with his 2020 release Familiar Ground, again evolving his sound with the addition of layered synthesizers and drum machines. Through his engaging lyrics, Abney transports the listener into his passenger seat, allowing us to experience and savor every blurred, fleeting second as we pass through.

Jim and Sam – Space for the Stranger

“During listening, the only desire will appear – to hug to the chest of the one who is dear to you and love. The song has a lot of femininity, feelings, romanticism and a little sad, which is like the last drop of wine at the bottom of an empty glass. One of the most beautiful and delicate works.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

-Nagamag.com

Los Angeles-based duo Jim and Sam return with “Space for the Stranger,” the title track from their forthcoming EP, out September 30th. On Space for the Stranger, the pair congregate around wistful harmonies, intimate lyrics, and unshakable melodies as they journey into becoming parents for the first time during the height of the worldwide hiatus. The single explores the physical and mental space they needed to make as they were preparing to welcome their daughter, Hazel.

Sam says, “It was late at night, and we were tearing apart our home studio, turning it into a nursery, and playing the ‘remember that time on tour’ game. The next morning, I walked downstairs, and Jim was sitting at the piano singing the first line of the song, ‘do you remember, late night in Boston?’ The song became a conversation about how our lives were about to change forever.”

The single comes with an intimate peek at the couple’s time on the road leading up to the life-changing moment that inspired the song.
