Nervous City Nervous Self – Moving to Moscow
(Spotify)

“A midtempo journey into a poetic expression. Evident 80s influences sound clear on this track. We enjoyed the piano and the echoed voice. ”

-Nagamag.com

In Moving to Moscow Swedish singer/songwriter Nervous City Nervous Self envokes the longing for purpose and meaning once envisioned by Irina in Anton Chekhov´s play Three sisters. In a famous scene Irina laments over the loss of vision and grandeur in the rural country life in a Russia of yesteryears. The dreams, the real life awaits them all in Moscow, while she is stuck in a g-d-forgotten place, with a stifling job as a telegraph clerk. And while our dreams fade away our lives moves on with a brutal pace, and soon our grand wishes for the future are replaced with a longing for the past, and that is the home for notions like nostalgia and melancholy. And that is also the natural habitat for the worker in song.

Nervous City Nervous Self is a nomadic and nostalgic one-man band from Stockholm, Sweden.

Scott Fisher – The Right Way
(Spotify)

“In a world of much electronic noise its refreshing to hear the natural sounds of instruments powered by creative humans. Lyrics are very poetic and stitched by the beat of the drum to perfection. ”

-Nagamag.com

Los Angeles-based producer and singer-songwriter Scott Fisher has shared “The Right Way,” the first single to be released from his forthcoming album 93 Million Miles, out October 26th via 1 A.M. Music. The groove-filled, slow burning jam features Enrique Gonzalez (Los Lobos) on the drums, and marks the first music Fisher has released since his 2019 album Songs of Jerry Garcia and Others. Speaking on the origins of the song, Fisher writes “...[“The Right Way”] was born out of the isolation of the pandemic and a little too much wine. Ultimately, it has a hopeful message of self-confidence and staying true to one’s first principles.”

Cypress – Running Like the Wind
(Spotify)

“Bright acoustic melody, innovative, expressive mood and incredibly juicy vocals from Ben Higginbotham - all this indicates an extremely high-quality work and automatically raise it among the best of its genre.”

“Яркая акустическая мелодия, новаторские, выразительные ударные и невероятный сочный вокал Ben Higginbotham – всё это указывает на чрезвычайно качественную работу и автоматически делают её, пожалуй, лучшей в своём жанре.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words behind his inspiration for this song:

"I wrote this song about being there for someone no matter where you are. Was definitely inspired initially by "You've got a Friend" by James Taylor; however, I was listening to a lot of Bruce Springsteen when we produced it, so by the end it had turned into a rock n roll track."

https://www.facebook.com/musicbycypress/
https://www.instagram.com/musicbycypress/

Cypress is the indie folk, singer-songwriter project of Ben Higginbotham. Born in Dallas but based in LA, Ben was inspired by his childhood spent glued to the piano and listening to the crooning voices of Texas singer-songwriter legends like Ruthie Foster and Lyle Lovett to pursue his passion for music early on.

Shortly after graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2017, Ben created Cypress — a soulful, emotional solo project reflective of his personal and professional growth. Evoking artists like Ray LaMontagne, Ben Howard, and Hozier, Cypress’ indie folk/folk rock sound is rich and textured yet melodic and straightforward — often weaving lyric-driven stories of relationships, family and coming-of-age with a reflective and nostalgic tone. With crisp, powerful lyrics and relatable, universal themes underlying each song, Cypress’ music shines in its smooth approachability and ease of listening.

Released in November 2018, Cypress’ first EP A Fine Line was recorded and produced in Austin, TX by longtime collaborator Taylor Tatsch. Cypress’ most recent single “Take Me Back” was produced by Floyd Fuji and released in August 2020.

Blood Honey – Don’t Wait Up for Me
(Spotify)

“Taken from the album "Wings", can easily reveal Rebecca's artistry via its soft and selective soundscape. On top of all lies the singer's etherial voice, which immediately lighten our tired body and mind.”

Los Angeles's alternative dark pop duo, Blood Honey, get ready to drop their debut EP Blood Honey next week. Blood Honey is a gorgeous body of moody, alt-pop tracks with an indie electronic twist. From the heady "Game Baby" to the standout single "Don't Wait Up For Me," Blood Honey's brilliant culmination of sound pulls influence from some of your favorite trailblazers like Portishead, Massive Attack, and Nine Inch Nails.

New focus track "Don't Wait Up For Me" is an impressive stand out amongst the many gems in the Blood Honey EP. "I just want to be somebody," echoes throughout the track with a hypnotizing effect and Jackie's vocals effortlessly float above a moody bass line and synth driven soundscape.

"a spellbinding masterpiece" - Ratings Game Music

"unveil a bold and driven electro-pop groove, with hints of Little Dragon" - Mystic Sons

"A finessed yet stripped-back approach to alt-pop" - Alfitude

When Blood Honey members Kevin and Jackie first met, they bonded over their music taste. Kevin was studying cognitive neuroscience but ultimately dropped out of a PhD program to chase after his dream of playing music. Jackie had been struggling to live on her own after being kicked out at 18, but eventually gave into her parents' wishes and went back to school. However, an Ovarian Cancer diagnosis forced Jackie to drop out. A long, hard battle resulted in the loss of both her ovaries but also resulted in the start of Blood Honey.

Since the release of their debut single in early 2021, the burgeoning duo have seen a steady rise in fans on a weekly basis and have garnered over 44K streams thus far.
