Look to the Cookie

 by Germar Derron Sacred Spiral is obviously meditative and evocative of spirituality. Somehow, it varies in instrumentation, feel, and scale enough to appeal to all belief systems or devotional desires. And of course, none of those systems or desires are required to listen and engage and relax, transcend or transform. Surprisingly, as a person who identifies as Black and Christian, the second track clung to me instantly and intimately. I immediately felt the strength-bred hope of an 18th-century slave toiling under a hot sun at a South Carolina plantation. Then later, on that s ..read more

Indie Music: Zach Churchill "Surrender"nullnullnullnullnullnull

by Germar Derron "Hey, indie music." "Hey Germar, what's up?" "We are not in Kansas anymore." I used to produce indie music. It never sounded like this. It's hard to think of this as "indie." And yes, I understand that "indie" doesn't equal not good. But this sounds like a song teachers play, in a production or songwriting class, as an example of what radio-ready commercial music should sound like. It's a "comp track."

Indie Music: Bel-la, "Nothing's Gonna Get You Back"

by Germar Derron Are those crickets? The music video for "Nothing's Gonna Get You Back" thoughtfully explores its theme through image, rhythm, melody, and soundscape. For a more stripped-down, pristine, studio version, the single also exists untethered from video. But even before I watched the video, the song pushed a visual--night, solitude, a journey, light that obfuscates, and dreams. This song, mix-wise, goes hard against the grain, and triumphs unscathed. The instrumental portion is produced and mixed dry and straightforward. The vocal is heavily treated, wet--dreamy. Here, Bel-la remi ..read more
