On this latest edition, I found this groove that is straight up preposterous. Such a glossy, crisp bassline that carries this song to nirvana.JEMS! follows Oakland-based artist Elujay and his longtime collaborator J.Robb on a joint venture to find gems in unsuspected corners of life. Also, I believe they just want to put a huge smile on your face.Thanks, guys, it worked. 1. Original post: JEMS! - FLIGHTS 2 ..read more

Sounds like: Lord Huron, The National, Death Cab For Cutie What's so good? Tashes and Reve D'elle create a tumbleweed of attack with "Dust," an effervescent escape into the modern, sad West."Dust" is a creature, a creature you see in the distance of your headlights, a creature that gives off a sense of fear as much as it gives a sense of fantasy and hope. The pain is real, but it's also beautifully absorbing. "Dust"has a soft charm, ethereal charm, and a sense of motion that is as held back as a hand against an ever-building storm.Tashes and Reve D'elle play off each other with such cold pass ..read more

Sounds like: Phantogram, ANIMA! What's so good? I've clearly got a bit of a thing for Leyya, because this is my third time sharing a song of theirs in as many months (previously "Sometimes You're Lonely" and "Ease My Mind").The Austrian duo of Marco and Sophie are gearing up to release a new album titled Half Asleep at the end of August. We've heard a few songs from the release now, and this one ranks as one of my favorites. It's upbeat, punchy, and fairly memorable.For those looking for something more downtempo, you can try the just-released singles "I Don't Hug So Well" and "What Did I Do W ..read more

Sounds like: Still Woozy, Tame Impala, Real Estate What's so good? Okay, we're onto something here. Please don't judge if I was late to the party but this artist has come out of nowhere. I adore this soft rock sound that echoes a little electronica. Such a blissful listening experience with Vaughn's soothing vocals providing the perfect backdrop to a nice view of a sunset.Would love to see Vaughn and Khruangbin team up for a nice EP.

Sounds like: Rachel Bobbitt, Kate Bollinger, Toth Song: Maya Hawke - Big Idea What's so good? Maya Hawke's album, Chaos Angel, came out just a little over a month ago. On it was an underrated track in my opinion with "Big Idea."Hawke is an artist who always seems to be encouraging people to pursue their creativity. That belief stands out in Big Idea with it's lyrics describing people who think in different ways. Who shouldn't let others tell them how they should be and don't believe in following the normal "Big Idea" of life.In an album that can sometimes be more somber and heavier in tone ..read more

Sounds like: Mark Ronson, Glass Animals, Gorillaz What's so good? There's plenty of songs out there about love. About Heartbreak or unreciprocated feelings. What makes the best ones stand out are the ones that succeed in making you feel something. Sometimes that can be as simple as hope."Lovesick" is the latest single from the band Silver Cup. This one featuring main vocals from Logan Nelson with Hadley Nelson providing the chorus. It's ultimately a song about being hopeful in your feelings of love. That this might blossom into something greater.That may sound simple but again some of the bes ..read more

Sounds like: Empire of The Sun, Girl in Red, HOMESHAKE What's so good? Uma creates a soft whisper and has me swooning with their 3 minutes of narrative in my ears.I cannot explain how much I was surprised that the version I was listening to was a live recording. I was thrown aback; it sounded so produced, so intimate, and so close. But here I am just blushing at the joy that is "Nothing Without You" — a track that is smooth as butter and just as complex. It's a smoky endeavor, and I am here for all the fog on my window. It's calm and collected and so gloriously simple and complex at the same ..read more

Sounds like: Nicola Cruz, JAJA, History of Colour What's so good? Welcome to the heat wave, it's hot out here, but El Buho has you cool with this remix.The retouch of "Tropicana" gives it a sense of smooth identity. Like a drink of pineapple and coconut, it has zest and creaminess abound. It booms and swoons in your ears like a slow, heavy blow of wind, and it delivers nothing but vibes. It's a drippy and altogether sensational piece of music that I am very upset I didn't discover earlier."Tropicana," the El Buho Remix, is a refreshing and exotic little cocktail I cannot get enough of. 1.
