Lindsay Clark – Roses in the Sky

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

“Acoustic Indie Folk, so gentle, affectionate, with kind and sensual vocals -lindsay clark-, unobtrusive and fragile, like a web in forest more often. The atmosphere is light, harmonious and very lamp. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Акустический Indie Folk, такой нежный, ласковый, с добрым и чувственным вокалом -Lindsay Clark-, ненавязчивый и хрупкий, словно паутинка в лесной чаще. Атмосфера лёгкая, гармоничная и очень ламповая.”

Artist said about this song:

"I wrote the song spontaneously one spring at a friends house in west Marin in California, between tour dates. It's a song about the purity and sacredness of desire. I was thinking about someone I loved but that wasn’t really reciprocal in the way I wanted, and about the beauty of desire itself – whether for a person, a dream or something else. Sometimes we're expected not to desire too much or too deeply, but I think longing can be beautiful for its own sake. It was spring and the song moves through all this pastoral imagery that is quintessential to California spring.

"Roses in the Sky" is the first single from Lindsay Clark's upcoming album, Carpe Noctem, out 6/24/22 with Audiosport Records. Carpe Noctem features William Tyler, Alela Diane, Sage Fisher (Dolphin Midwives), Alexis Mahler (Shook Twins) & Andy Rayborn (Paper Gates) and was engineered, co-produced, co-arranged with Jeremy Harris (Devendra Banhart/Vetiver), with additional engineering by Ryan Oxford (Y La Bamba) and Brandon Eggleston (Mountain Goats), out 6/24/22 with Audiosport Records (NL). She has also recently contributed vocals on Michael Hurley’s latest release, Time of the Foxgloves (No Quarter Records)."

Emily Shirley – Fire Breathers

“A delicate, melodic and very fragile track in the Indie Folk genre. Discover the world of wonderful harmonies, beautiful, feminine vocals -emily shirley- and lively, rich sound palette of real, human emotions! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Нежный, мелодичный и очень хрупкий трек в жанре Indie Folk. Откройте для себя мир чудесных гармоний, красивый, женственный вокал -Emily Shirley- и живую, насыщенную звуковую палитру настоящих, человеческих эмоций!”

Emily Shirley’s brand of thoughtful songwriter pop/rock is as finely tuned and brightly colored as the graphic design projects she works on for her day gig. Her latest release, DuoTone, is a genre-bending hybrid of indie-pop melodies woven over thoughtful, grounded lyrics. It represents the full, vibrant sonic image of a writer who has come into her own in the Austin, Texas scene.

A Connecticut native, Emily was steeped in church choir, musical theater, and Debbie Gibson at a young age. Classically trained on piano and a veteran of high school and college semi-pro acapella choirs, she found her place as a vocalist and writer when she joined the Boston based band Amun Ra as the lead singer, touring their soulful pop songwriting with breakbeats and electronica to clubs across the Northeast. They released 2 full length albums in her 6 years with them.

In 2006, Emily moved to Austin, Texas and realigned her musical existence. Starting over in a new city without a band as well as juggling her graphic design business and being a mom, “I had to carve out my solo space and find a way to let music work with my lifestyle,” she notes. She fell in love with the piano again and began writing and gigging; she released her EP Tiny Truths in 2010, produced by Daniel Barrett (Ruthie Foster, Susan Gibson). Reviewsic described the EP’s sound as “executed with the same old-meets-new-quirkiness of Feist.” In 2013 she found her band again, joining Austin favorite The Belle Sounds on piano, synth, and vocals. She's toured Texas and the West Coast with The Belle Sounds, performing in esteemed venues like Strange Brew in Austin and The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.

Most recently, Emily released a series of singles that culminated in the release of her 2015 EP DuoTone, now available as a limited edition disc. Featuring songs produced by Mark Hallman (Carole King, Ani DiFranco) and Daniel Barrett, DuoTone displays Emily's ability to illuminate scenes and landscapes through sound. "Suffering Soul" has a sonic palette that drops the listener in the middle of the desert, parched and desperate, searching for salvation. “Starstruck” brings a swinging piano and brassy horns to themes of nostalgia for more innocent artistic times, and hints to her list of musical influences like Nellie McKay and Rufus Wainwright. Emily Shirley’s artistic point of view and skillful sonic experimentation make for a varied and stirring repertoire. “My formative years are still happening,” she jokes when describing her musical life, the honest response of a musician and creator always on the lookout for the next spark.

MARK NEVIN – SOMETHING IN HER SONG FOR ME

“Music created for dialogue with yourself, when you are walking through the flooded light after the rain of the pavement. Classic Indie Folk with an admixture of American, with a light rustle of percussion against the background and vocals -mark nevin-. The best combination of the correct wyba and mood.

The Pinkerton Raid – Sometimes, Brothers

“A simple and easy to understand the composition in the genre of Indie Folk, containing a deep, philosophical meaning. It helps to think about important things in our lives and, perhaps, change something in it for the better. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Простая и лёгкая для понимания композиция в жанре Indie Folk, содержащая в себе глубокий, философский смысл. Помогает задуматься о важных вещах в нашей жизни и, возможно, что-то изменить в ней в лучшую сторону.”

"Sometimes, Brothers" comes from that experience where someone you love is suffering, and there's a lot of miles between you, and the distance means that you can't fully understand the pain they're in, much less do anything about it. It's that feeling of big empathy and big helplessness. -- Jesse James DeConto, acoustic guitar + lead vocals

Jonathan DePue - bass

David Wimbish - audio production + piano + organ

Callen – Love Myself Alone

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

“"Callen" sings with full confidence under the soft chords of his guitar and airy hihat samples. A fresh Folk production that starts smoothly and gradually evolves into a bright star, emiting its pure energy to every listener.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this release:

“Ghost Reflections” are known as an optical issue that is generally caused by internal light reflections within a camera and lens but only occurs under

specific conditions. Ghost reflections are the common theme across this whole album because of the cyclical themes that have carried me through life;

self-deprecation, coping, introspection, growth, retrospect, self-love, self-improvement, burn-out, Repetition. The songs are in order from my early days

to now. In short, it's a retrospective comment on all the times I thought I hit rock bottom, and my eyes opened up a little differently. My ghost reflections

are the changes I went through every time a burn out, or a deep pit in my life led me into over-introspection. The changes I made were sometimes

reactive in the wrong way, and just noticing that makes life feel all a little messier. I’m being vague right now, but the songs are specific. Bottom line is

after so much pain growing up you start to feel like things go right through you, so in a way this is my metamorphosis of a kid into a ghost.

Callen (he/him) is an American singer-songwriter and producer based in Nashville, TN. Originally from Dallas, and growing up in the

bay area of California, Callen’s formative years as an artist consisted of playing drums and writing songs with various alternative

rock, and indie projects regionally and nationally. It wasn’t until breaking a tour with an indie rock group he was drumming for at the

time, that he decided to stay in Nashville where he began releasing music independently under “Callen.”

In 2018, he established himself as a producer with his independent release of “By My Side” getting featured on Trap Nation and

passing one million streams across platforms. The next year, Callen established his voice, becoming a Splice community event

winner for Music Tech Fest with his original song and debut as a vocalist, “Silver & Gold.” Not long after signing a co-publishing

agreement with Bailer Music in Nashville, he had his first major label release pass one million streams as a songwriter and producer

with “Lion’s in the Sky (feat. Bryar) by Vion Konger.” Gaining a new platform with international collaboration curated by Bailer Music,

Callen then released “Critical” in partnership with Vion Konger and Sony Music in the beginning of 2021, which was added to

multiple Spotify editorial playlists the first week of its release. Previously, with the releases of “Grew Up In My Head,” and “What

Could I Do” both getting featured on Sirius XM and several other noteworthy outlets, Callen is finally releasing his first album. The

first of many.

Flower Face – October Birds

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

“With her angelic voice and poetic lyrics, Ruby McKinnon will open a new door in your listening choices. "October Birds" is made from etherial string patterns and a distinct touch of melancholy that won't leave you unaffected. Indie Folk production with personal character.”

-Nagamag.com

Ahead of her new album, Montreal multi-hyphenate artist Ruby McKinnon aka Flower Face shares the final single release in the form of the poetic, somber ballad “October Birds.” Showing her most intimate side, the song opens with arpeggiating acoustics and breathtaking harmonies. McKinnon’s melancholic prose sounds almost as if she is reading directly from her diary. Listen to “October Birds” on all digital retailers (.

https://flowerface.ffm.to/octoberbirds

“This song is about the kind of self-revelation that leaves you mourning for the person you believed you were before,” explains McKinnon. “Any kind of growth is hard: it hurts to shed your skin. The layer underneath is tender. The lyrics get pretty blunt — more so than the others. I had somebody tell me once that the reason they loved my lyrics is because I have a way of 'juxtaposing the poetic with the heartbreakingly mundane.' I think that’s one of the best compliments I’ve ever received. I sort of unintentionally did that in this song because I was fed up when I wrote it: fed up with myself, with the way that I am and the fact that I couldn’t change that. At the time, I was in a relationship with somebody who was just unconditionally kind and understanding and forgiving. It brought my volatility into stark relief. Sometimes I feel like it’s easier for me to be in an unstable and fraught relationship because then I’m not forced to confront my own internal evil. Self-revelation is a painful (and very important) thing."

“October Birds” will appear alongside singles “Pisces Moon,” “Sugar Water,” “Cornflower Blue,” and “Back To You,” on her forthcoming full-length album The Shark in Your Water due out May 27th via Nettwerk.

Michael Berg – Radical

Lizzie Karr – The Long Game

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

“! Listen, try to understand and comprehend - this charming song is the real quintessence of the warm sound of Indie Folk and sensual vocal -lizzie Karr-. Something important and deep work in your collection. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“!Вслушайтесь, постарайтесь понять и осмыслить – эта очаровательная песня самая настоящая квинтэссенция тёплого звучания Indie Folk и чувственного вокала -Lizzie Karr-. Нечто важное и глубокое произведение в вашей коллекции.”

-Nagamag.com

After international syncs, and an insane six-month musical adventure in China, fans of Lizzie Karr are celebrating her long awaited solo comeback.

Post girl pop success, Lizzie’s new oeuvre has left fans swooning. Her timeless vocals resonate with fans of Fiona Apple and Brandi Carlile, while Gawain Mathews’ production pays homage to Texas darlings Leon Bridges and the Black Pumas. Rooted in the intimacy of Austin, Lizzie’s new track announces the raw, soulful and storytelling persona of the indie artist that she’s carefully tended and held in reserve until this moment.

Lizzie’s debut single, The Long Game, is a personal account inspired by milestones in life, which takes us on a journey of love, dreams, disappointment and fulfillment. The opening lines, “Did you think this is how I wanted to be? Quiet nights alone with the TV?” are a powerful reminder of isolation and loneliness, yet this uplifting anthem, in Lizzie’s words:

“...validates the time and the work it takes to build our dreams. I wrote this as a love song for a future partner. When I finished it, he showed up. In fact, I can hardly believe everything that’s happened in my life over the last 12 months.”

This song is an anthem to the big L “Love” and to loving ourselves. It’s tossing out the window every story about how love is supposed to unfold and embracing what’s really happening.

The Long Game released on April 15. It’s already caught the attention of leading influencers across the music industry. Lizzie Karr could be the name on everyone’s lips in the next 12 months.
