Madam Radar – Hands
“As soon as you hear the ringing of acoustic and electrihitar, you will instantly find yourself in the atmosphere of the americana genre. Feel how the heart is compressed from vocals in the chest, the rhythm leads to beautiful prairies and there are no barriers to you on the way to freedom!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Как только вы услышите звон акустической и электрогитар вы мгновенно окажетесь в атмосфере жанра Americana. Почувствуйте, как от вокала в груди сжимается сердце, ритм ведёт за собой в прекрасные прерии и нет для вас никаких преград на пути к свободе!”

common goldfish – I Don’t Feel Today
“The major mood in this Indietronica track sets up a very exciting and meaningful journey. Monotonous vocals, wandering like a bloodworm in the night of the rhythm and the depth of immersion in the amazing world of sounds and a positive mood.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Мажорное настроение в этом Indietronica треке настраивает на очень волнительное и такое многозначительное путешествие. Монотонный вокал, блуждающий словно мотылёк в ночи ритм и глубина погружения в удивительный мир звуков и позитивного настроения.”

I Don’t Feel Today' is a song about feeling disconnected from society. There’s a generation of people that have a growing sense of disillusionment , living more and more on top of each other but becoming more isolated as a result.
The rise of independence and individualism has been at the expense of community and belonging.
While this song evokes these issues lyrically, the upbeat nature of the track strives to bring some form of remedy to this situation. 'common goldfish' is about bringing people together, harking back to the 90's rave days before phones and internet, where human interaction and connection was everything.
This track is an antidote to the strains and stresses of modern life, with its funky breakbeat, euphoric chords, gritty bass line and synth stabs that will give you the sense of being pushed to breaking point forcing you to let go of emotions that have been bottled up for too long.
The pace of life is getting faster and faster, we’re spending more and more time in front of screens on a never-ending quest for instant gratification. We’re losing our sense of reality and what matters most – human interaction and connection. This track is the medicine.

Aleks Grey x Iselin – Five Minutes
“Sometimes, in life there is only five minutes to realize important things, whether it is the meaning of being, a love triangle or why the stars above our heads are so far from us, but so beautiful and inaccessible. Plunge into this fairy tale with -Aleks Grey and Iselin- and draw conclusions - which is actually important in your life.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Порой, в жизни бывает лишь пять минут, чтобы осознать важные вещи, будь то смысл бытия, любовный треугольник или почему звёзды над нашими головами так далеки от нас, но так прекрасны и недосягаемы. Окунитесь в эту сказку вместе с -Aleks Grey и Iselin- и сделайте выводы — что на самом деле важно в вашей жизни.”

Five minutes is a mellow pop gem written and performed by the Norwegian artists Aleks Grey and Iselin. Both hail from the west coast of Norway, and although they live in Oslo, they drove out west to a studio called Ocean Sound Studios, where they found the inspiration to their next single "Five Minutes". The song is about everyday life, with stress, always some terrible story on the news, work, social media etc., but then taking the time, to just be, two people together. Put on a song and just dance.
«Can we just listen to Holocene, and shut out all the noise that’s been keeping us down lately? Cause lately it’s been too much.»
Rival Consoles – Running
“Beautiful synth and melody from the start, whole atmosphere builds perfectly, layers of electronic sound in harmony, just amazing. Slow arrangement is maybe I like the most, sound by sound, no rushing it, pulling you in note after note.”
-Nagamag.com
Building on his reputation for driving, experimental electronic music that makes synthesisers sound human, Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles expands on his consistent desire to create a more organic, living sound, seeing him forming pieces that capture a sense of songwriting behind the machines.
‘Running’ is a piece of music the London-based producer had been trying to create for many years despite the simplicity of the track.
“I am very into classical music and the kind of structures and ideas they often use, and love the works which take a single melodic idea and create multiple variations from it. That is what I tried to do with this piece, where every single thing is a variation on the opening ten second theme. I spent over one year exploring a huge amount of variations from light to very heavy. Over much time I ended up being more inspired by the subtler, gentler variations, which allow the idea to breathe, which is a theme on this record.”

Hazlett – Oh Downhill
“When there is a soul in music, it resonates with the feelings of those who plunge into it as much as possible. She smoothly leads to herself and tells her unique story. Here is the most tender track, whose acoustic atmosphere is ready to swallow you like a hungry and wild beast.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Когда в музыке есть душа, то она максимально резонирует с чувствами тех, кто погружается в неё. Она плавно ведёт за собой и рассказывает свою уникальную историю. Перед вами нежнейший трек, чья акустическая атмосфера готова вас проглотить словно голодный и дикий зверь.”

Alicia Blue – Young
“The new composition from -alicia blue is poured into you with a cool river; You feel a wave of goosebumps on the skin, your body becomes almost weightless and you are soaring upward. This is a very thin, fragile and elegant track in the Indie Folk genre, which is very nice to listen. The track that warms.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Новая композиция от -Alicia Blue- вливается в вас прохладной рекой; вы чувствуете волну мурашек по коже, ваше тело становится практически невесомым и вы воспаряете ввысь. Это очень тонкий, хрупкий и элегантный трек в жанре Indie Folk, слушать который очень приятно. Трек, который согревает.”

Alicia Blue's new single "Young" (ft John Paul White of The Civil Wars) will be released on Sept 16 and it's the first single off her Inner Child Work Part 2 EP (out November 18).
Quote from Alicia on "Young:" "This is one of my favorite tracks on the record. I had never met John Paul White until we wrote “Young” together. I started the session by telling him how my whole life, even as I grew older, I always felt like the youngest person in the room. He responded, “Well, that’s funny because my whole life I’ve always felt like the oldest person in every room”. We laughed for a bit and then he suggested spinning around the narrative in society of trying to stay young at all costs. It made me think of Dylan’s “Forever Young” and turning that sentiment on its head, which is what we did. 'I don’t wanna live forever young…' Like, fuck that. Fuck staying small and unconscious just to fit in. I want to evolve, grow, and then get the hell outta here when my time is up."
