nasmore – Safe in my Dreams (reborn)
“Jewelry work with vocals, an unusually thin and delicate composition that captivates with its sweet sound. A magnificent song, with a melancholy and at the same time warm atmosphere, which inspires hope and faith in the soul.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Ювелирная работа с вокалом, необычайно тонкая и нежная композиция, которая очаровывает своим сладким звучанием. Великолепная песня, с меланхоличной и одновременно тёплой атмосферой, которая вселяет в душу надежду и веру.”

Hauntingly beautiful and a bit surreal, the single draws the listener into an icy world of loneliness broken only by the dreams of what could have been but never will be. Led by the sensationally soulful sound of featured guest-star/singer Maltesse’s vocals, they breathe life into the wisps of memories from nasmore’s past and brings every syllable to life with the remarkable depth of her tone, range, and technique. To amplify these feelings even more, the song comes with a Story - a song's length audiobook that immediately draws listener attention and help them dive into the whole world of feelings.

Colyn Cameron – Deepfakes
“A very beautiful melodic line of the guitar, which you do not need to listen to, try to understand or comprehend the structure - it just needs to be felt, feel with your heart and let it into yourself. Ideal Indie Folk, urgently add to your collection and enjoy!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Очень красивая мелодическая линия гитары, в которую не нужно вслушиваться, стараться понять или осмыслить структуру – её просто надо ощутить, почувствовать сердцем и впустить в себя. Идеальный indie folk, срочно добавляйте себе в коллекцию и наслаждайтесь!”

After almost four years since debuting with Sad & Easy, songmaker Colyn Cameron is readying his new album Freehand for release this August 5th. While living in Vancouver, British Columbia, the new material emerged within the paradoxical spaces of experimenting with dispersed and concentrated rhythms. Colyn used the material to explore themes of technology, adventure, self-worth & love with mild nods to worldly trepidation.
His latest single, “Deepfakes,” is about this form of AI technology but also tackles the veil of capitalism that we already exist under and how this particular corner of the near future relates to the mega-marathon of consumption and distorted nature of our current priorities.

“Блистательная мелодия, разнообразие звуковых эффектов, которые красиво распределены в музыкальном пространстве микса, позитивный ритм и яркий, ослепляющий словно дневной свет вокал. Музыка настроения, музыка движения, музыка жизни!”

Sending you the new single and video from New York City based indie rock outfit Rebounder. Entitled “Boy Friday”, the song is from their forthcoming self-produced project and is an introspective narrative exploring the passing of time and the ebb and flow of changes that shape our lives. “On this one we were really interested in the idea of feeling excited and optimistic about the future, while simultaneously noticing, recognizing the passage of time more and the natural pressure it puts on you to try harder to get where you wanna go,” Noah of the band further confides. Featuring breezy synths, intoxicatingly lush melodies and funk-drenched basslines, “Boy Friday” is a dreamy indie rock escape with a French inspired touch.
The nostalgic lofi video directed by Ben Klein (Sundance 2022 winner) features Dylan and Noah of the band being “New Yorkers lost in an LA Dreamland,” says Dylan, and where Chris Black (How Long Gone Podcast) is their “great LA spiritual tour guide.”

Woven Talon – Guri
“Natural percussion, mysterious string pads and hypnotizing vocals create the most meditative atmosphere. This is the sound of “Woven Talon” moving gracefully between Ambient and Cinematic. Excellent production, followed by a highly artistic clip too.”

Common Deer – Negative Thot
“Rhythmic and very sincere, pleasant music for a good mood. Mastering is very high quality, everything sounds very transparent and clean, each sound of indie pop is polished to shine, like vocals, which is very nice to listen!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Ритмичная и очень душевная, приятная музыка для хорошего настроени. Мастеринг очень качественный, звучит всё очень прозрачно и чисто, каждый звук indie pop отполирован до блеска, как и вокал, слушать который очень приятно!”

Psychedelic alt/indie masterminds The Impliers are making strikingly original music for the future from the bones of the present. The songwriting/production duo of multi-instrumentalists Dan & Charles is riding a sound wave crafted from oddly-tuned guitars, textured synths, electronic beats, pumping bass & complex vocals harmonies. ‘I Promise’ “is one of the first tracks we wrote for the record and highlights the indie guitar sound we formulated as teenagers within our more modern electronic, layered flavor.” Dan & Charles pull the deepest-possible expression from each other and turn them into musical ruminations that somehow evoke both deep levels of emotive contemplation and the urge to dance. As The Impliers, they bring an art/pop/noir surrealism to contemporary music that’s uniquely refreshing. Music blogger Mike O’Cull said, “The Impliers contribute an outstanding new voice to the indie rock community, one that’s never afraid to speak its own truth no matter what it sounds like.”

Tape Tension – Fossils
“The new track in the Indie POP genre from the author and the performer -tape tension is filled with a nostalgic wave according to the warmest and most pleasant memories from the past. A pretty melodic line, a light rhythmic pattern and lamp vocals.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Новый трек в жанре indie pop от автора и исполнителя -Tape Tension- наполнен ностальгической волной по самым тёплым и приятным воспоминаниям из прошлого. Симпатичная мелодическая линия, лёгкий ритмический рисунок и ламповый вокал.”

"Fossils" is the fourth single from my new album, "Questions In Balance." The song is about the uncertainty and aimless feelings I felt in much of my early twenties and when I was in my last year of college. I was unsure of my direction as a young adult, unsure of how to navigate my relationships, and tried to socially distract myself as much as I could. The lyrics and title reflect on that time in my life, those emotions and feelings seeming like fossils from my past as I've gotten older.
Along with the rest of the album, I wrote, recorded, mixed, and produced the song as well as performing all instruments and vocals.

Alex Genadinik – My Love’s Naive And Out Of Fashion
“Love songs are always relevant and at all times, and if they are still performed with the soul, as in the new composition -Alex genadinik-, then listening becomes much more pleasant. Melodic, such a kind and sincere acoustic ballad.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Песни о любви актуальны всегда и во все времена, а если они ещё исполнены с душой, как в новой композиции -Alex Genadinik-, то слушать становится намного приятнее. Мелодичная, такая добрая и искренняя акустическая баллада.”

Luca Vasta – La Mia Storia
“The text of this song provides for this – warm and tube sound. The beautiful melodic elements of Indie Folk, the atmosphere of the all -consuming Chamber pop and sweet vocals -luca vasta-. A very colorful track, obeyed in one breath.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Текст этой песни предусматривает именно такое — тёплое и ламповое звучание. Прекрасные мелодические элементы indie folk, атмосфера всепоглощающего chamber pop и сладкий вокал -Luca Vasta-. Очень колоритный трек, слушается на одном дыхании.”

Luca Vasta releases the first new song of her upcoming album and takes us with her on a journey to the beauty of Sicily.
The Italian/German Songwriter composed together with award-winning producer and songwriter Philipp Steinke (boy, Bosse, Tina Dico) an upbeat melancholy soundtrack for the beginning of the summer season.
„La Mia Storia” shines with cosmic suave and sonic adventure, telling a story about sharing the secret of an unfulfilled love. „Sei la Mia Storia, maledetta“. You’re my story, damn it!
Luca’s deep and delicate vocals take us into her internal world that we can all relate to. The song with its catchy melody and timeless Italo guitar shows us once again that Luca has created her own musical style and we can’t wait for more „Spaghetti Pop“ coming in 2022.
The video to her new single was shot in her hometown Ragusa, Sicily. It is produced and edited by herself and reveals more of her creative mind as she independently built her career without having a big label to back her.

Celeno – Origin
“This is a potential Synthwave hit, it sounds so tasty and sweet. After it there remains a pleasant aftertaste, as it has a successful arrangement and appropriate portion of electronics. But the most important thing is that it affects your subconscious like hypnosis. Correctly. High voltage!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Это потенциальный synthwave хит, настолько вкусно и сладко он звучит. После него остаётся приятное послевкусие, так как он обладает удачной аранжировкой и уместной порцией электроники. Но самое главное — он воздействует на ваше подсознание словно гипноз. Аккуратнее. Высокое напряжение!”

The title “Origin” could be the soundtrack of a rocket taking off, from the preparations to the final countdown. As the title shows, this long rise of energy illustrates the starting point of Celeno's space adventure, a return to basics. Like French79 or Soulwax, the synthetic sounds serve the minimalist arrangement: a few tracks of drums and analog synths gradually intertwine to end on an epic and explosive finale. The clip, directed by Olivier Descoutey and Celeno, illustrates Origin by featuring the artist in a retro-futuristic and industrial setting where you can clearly feel the influence of the SF universe.
