Single: Matamoska! – Soledad

Surprise! The LA nine-piece ska band’s new single shows off their evolution of sound and their ability to tell stories through the diversity in their songwriting.

Single: Delilah Wood – take my hand

Wood’s vocals took me off guard in the best way possible; her vulnerability in her delivery makes it clear that this is personal to her from the heart, and you can truly hear her longing. “take my hand” creates a quiet suspense around you, the listener pulled into her longing, waiting alongside her while you hope she gets what she wants from that person and herself.

Single: Asha Wells – Gift Horse

“Gift Horse” refuses to sit still, drifting through slow, jazzy psychedelia before snapping into fast drums, then drifting right back again, and somehow it all feels like one seamless thought.
