Cuídate means "take care (of yourself)", and is a central theme of the aptly-named single from Atlanta's DINNER TIME. Hazy synths and a twinkling guitar take the lead over a driving rhythm section, and each of the band's three vocalists take turns spinning a yarn of longing, loss, and nostalgia. The song's lyrics (both Spanish and English) feel relatable and earnest, inviting listeners to think about their own relationships, consider friends and lovers that have drifted away, and remember that a connection can be rebuilt "wherever you are"

Static Phantoms - Something Bright
Static Phantoms’ synth-pop single “Something Bright” is like the soundtrack of a lost John Hughes film, weaving bubbling synthesizers, and dreamy guitars around lyrics that describe a main character who’s lost but whom we love despite it. The track is both melancholy and hopeful, dreamy and driving, a dance song for the long gone.

Black Light Animals - Pink Lemonade
Pink Lemonade, the new single from our latest signing Black Light Animals, it is a sugar-coated meditation on desire set to a four-on-the-floor beat sure to ignite dance floors. Harkening back to the late 70s Michael Jackson and Prince, it marks a dramatic left turn from the dark, orchestral croons of their previous record.

Takes A Real Woman is a collection six vastly different sounding songs united by clever songwriting, pleasing melodies, and themes of love lost, gained, and lost again.

Bluey Green, also known as Mitch Horton, is a talented producer and songwriter hailing from New Zealand.

The results perfectly capture the feelings of teamwork that come fro ..read more

Mike Katz is a Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist who makes stripped-down lo-fi pop and garage rock. On his latest single, Wings Of Love, humble acoustic strumming quickly becomes a washed-out, dreamy soundscape dripping with reverb, sweet guitar, and synth melodies. The song and lyrics give easy access to the beautiful feeling of a blossoming romance when you can close your eyes and fly away on the Wings Of Love at any given moment.
