Sounds like: The Wombats, Foals, The Snuts What's so good? Love Fame Tragedy and The Jungle Giants give us an injection of life with "Eat, Sleep, Fuck, Forever."There is no point in worrying, the world is burning and all we can do is enjoy the sunsets - that is the sentiment behind Love Fame Tragedy and The Junge Giants pumping collaboration. The track is pure carelessness and an earworm that I am so happy to have. It bops and slams, with as much abandon as a runner on a downhill - nothing but speed, wind, and a smile."Eat, Sleep, Fuck, Forever" is an escape and I just wanna keep running away ..read more

Sounds like: Khruangbin, Okay Kaya, Daedalus What's so good? Mount Kimbie shines with nihilism and sonic metaphors in "Empty and Silent.""Empty and Silent" is a mysterious creature of a track. It exists, it has been researched, and it has been listened to, but it remains enigmatic all the same. It floats in and out of your sense of reality with ease and frustration simultaneously. It's a dark entity, a wolf in the woods, yet also a reindeer in the valley."Empty and Silent" is like prog rock turned up to its most metaphysical and beautiful. I'm delighted to have discovered Mount Kimbie through ..read more

Sounds like: Mounika, Monte Duma, Jaguar Sun What's so good? Kelz and Jay Som float on through the air on a soft electric Ghibli wave.I absolutely adore it when music has a somehow cinematic relation to it, and all I was hearing whilst "My Friend" (The Rework) was playing, was the whistle of the wind amongst a green leaf. And all I saw was the fast green landscape of a Studio Ghibli film. "My Friend" is wholesome, heartfelt, and affecting in a way that coffeehouse tracks sometimes struggle to achieve, but when they do, best believe it sits with you.I don't know where "My Friend" is, but they ..read more

Sounds like: Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, Jay Som What's so good? Oddly enough, I discovered this sweet ode to public transportation, or lackthereof on a southband train heading toward Downtown Los Angeles. Anyone who has rode the LA Metro knows that's not something to brag about, but I digress.Sofia Bolt, French-born musician, also based in Los Angeles, returns with a elegant, dream pop song that echoes a sentiment only one can find on a train or a bus, in this case, with no apparent destination. Metaphorically, of course.And with a stellar feature from Stella Donnelly, this sure is set to capt ..read more

Sounds like: NOVA ONE, Kate Bollinger, Indigo Waves What's so good? JW Francis creates a traveler's tale with "Turtleneck Weather."Pop on your nicest sweater, make sure the neck is high, and hit the road with JW Francis playing as loud as you possibly can. "Turtleneck Weather" is a pulsing example of how we can all still have a little Bob Dylan in us, even if it's nestled in modernday indie pop."Turtleneck Weather" is a fun and calm little justification of a romantic endeavor; there are two thermoses in this truck, and we are chasing the sunrise.JW Francis keeps cementing himself as a new ren ..read more

Sounds like: San Cisco, Al Bairre, Paul Simon Song: Beatenberg - Don't Call Her Over To You What's so good? Last week, Beatenberg's third album came out. It's called The Great Fire of Beatenbergand I think I've listened to it at least once per day since then. With each listen, I find myself more and more into it.I first encountered Beatenberg about a year after moving back to Cape Town. I was a bit slow up the uptick, but their debut album The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg (2014) soon became a mainstay in my musical rotation. Whenever the sun was up and the vibe was happy, I'd put the album o ..read more

Sounds like: Jump People, Belze, Delac Song: Retro Kid - You're So Good What's so good? Retro Kid signs into my kid brain with 'You're So Good,' a fuzzy little chill electro adventure.My childhood flashed in front of my eyes in slow motion when Retro Kid sounded through my ears. I was in the park under the shade of a tree, and then I was amongst my friends and on the swings. This song is my first time holding someone's hand, my first time seeing the ocean, my first time falling in love over a holiday; it's all of this shuffled into ≈Retro Kid has designed pure nostalgia, and I love it. 1.
