Fresh indie rock coming to you from West Coast. I am enjoying the video very much as well, which fits the song perfectly. I have a hunch this band will get much more attention in the following months.

The song is about understanding disagreements exist in all of our relationships but we have to come to terms with differences in opinion sometimes to move past them.

Another single I am sharing from fuzzy bedroom rock Psychic Shakes from UK.
Here is a little story about the song:
“Wage Slave is a fairly straightforward, lighthearted song, and it was one of the few times I’ve ever written lyrics and a vocal melody before anything else. I wrote it after leaving a job as a ‘grill chef’ for a small burger restaurant in Brighton. I was working there during my first year of University. I used to come home from work and smell so awful my girlfriend wouldn’t want to sit near me, I smelled like sweat and oil, it was hilarious. I’ve done so many crappy jobs trying to make ends meet- one highlight was power washing bird shit off a veranda in the rain, when I was a dishwasher at another restaurant. While you’re working in those sorts of jobs all you can think about is the future and what you’re going to do when your shift finishes. When the future comes, and you don’t smell terrible, you can finally laugh about it.”

Damn Hands deals with archaeological folk-rock, parachronisticly incongruous psych-surf, and downtrodden calypsocentric cave dwelling. They are also big Sam Neill fans. Damn Hands is Dan Martin and Kyle Rother, featuring Jason Rother and Patrick Kennedy on occassion.
The band description captures it all. Just listen to this nice lo-fi rock from Austin, TX.

Melis is a Singer, Songwriter and Producer based in Berlin.
Her unique sound encompasses multiple influences rooted in R’n’B, Alternative and Indie Pop.
On Empty Space, Melis sings about the inner proverbial void which our generation struggles to fill and softly conveys the topic of loneliness in the context of social media.
Short, but sweet indie R&B track with beautiful guitar parts and great beats. So good.

A song from their upcoming album “Control” out on Living Waters Records and distributed through Sacred Bones Records. It reminds me a little bit of Good Good Blood music, but much polished. A really nice, atmospheric indie track with beautifully layered melodies.
“Writing, collaborating on and recording Control has been a process of personal transformation as an artist and a person,” Jones says. “During the past year I’ve reexamined everything in my life, and in the process learned to create music and an existence that is more sustainable, letting go of the things I can’t control. This ultimately leads to a deeper pool of creativity.”

The first song written for their upcoming debut EP Brown Bread set for release on Friday 26th June, ‘Wide Open’ features lightly spatialised guitars, thoughtful vocal harmonies and gorgeous swells across the deeply introspective piece. “The song explores the sense of space that opens up in your soul when you can truly let someone go, without forgetting or devaluing them,” explains vocalist Sally Latter.
“I had a really simple chord progression and a draft melody to start, and Mike then came up with the lead guitar lines over the top. Mike then wrote the demo drumbeat on our terrible friend-of-a-friend’s drumkit and we recorded it with vocal mics. Despite all that, even with just the very rough bones of the song, we knew it would be one for the EP.”, Sally continues.
Indie pop / dream rock from Brisbane, Australia. I just wish they chose a better name because this one is pretty hard to search.

“In Deep” is Bathe Alone’s 80’s inspired Dream Pop anthem that will be featured on her Debut Commercial LP “Last Looks”. Lyrically, the song is about a relationship that has been brought to fruition only to be deteriorated by self-sabotage and what that loss feels like as the non-offending party.
Another single I am sharing from this artist. A little bit of dream pop for your ears. Just good.

“ Wilson & The Catholics is the solo project of Tennis Club frontman, Wilson Hernandez. Backed by a formidable group of Joplin music-scene notables and producer Atlas Monroe, Hernandez offers a catchy and concise, burnt-out bedroom pop that pair dejected imagery with divine melodies.”
A lo-fi twee catchy bedroom pop from Joplin, Missouri. An awesome cassette release on my favorite Japanese label Galaxy Train. Go and listen to it in full. Cassettes should be ready to buy very soon.

P.S. #2: Don’t forget to check more music from FA. All tapes look and sound awesome. I am a proud owner of them as well.
Small Forward is the recording project of Rounak Maiti, Michael Stevenson, and Campbell Scott. The three met at college in Los Angeles, garnering attention through releasing demos online and playing shows within the DIY community across LA.
With their debut full-length record, the self-titled ‘Small Forward’ out May 20, 2020, the band puts together a collection of songs that mirror the diverse experiences and inspirations that have defined its songwriting. Richly layered and textured, the album strides through guitar strummed nostalgia and classic West Coast psychedelic pop, creating an emotionally stirring and genre-bending affair.
To mix the record, Michael, Rounak, and Campbell teamed up with veteran producer/engineer, Jarvis Taveniere, whose expertise brings depth and clarity to the band’s self-produced recordings. The resulting collection of songs are Small Forward’s strongest to date, vulnerable, textured and immersive— an album created by friends living across Mumbai and Los Angeles, yet bound together by the fabric of their music.
They released also previous music on Forget Artifacts and now they returned with a debut album. The album is full of heartful and beautiful melodies. A perfect for this summer season with a lot of lazy chill days. You can get this on cassette and just play it in your boombox while enjoying some summer shine. Just a perfect image.

There are not too many bands from UK I am sharing on my blog. Maybe I am not looking in the right direction, but when I do share, it is always a great band. Sorrell have just two singles out but both of them are awesome. This new one is just great. Here some words about it:
New release Freefall delivers a reassuring warmth of downcast but perpetually hopeful thoughts, resounding with waves of twinkling guitar melodies interwoven with the softness of reverb-laden, pining lyricism. An emotionally-poignant release, drifting in the comfortable space between Deerhunter and Real Estate, the song narrates a loss of control that primary songwriter and vocalist Dylan Lee describes as “trying to come to your senses when your days feel suffocating and in disarray”.
Freefall follows their debut single Lampshade released earlier this year, exploring feelings of anxiety reflective of our current turbulent times.
You can support the band on Bandcamp.
For years Julie Arsenault has been one of Canada’s best-kept secrets. In 2014 the Toronto-based singer-songwriter self-released “The Creature That I Call Myself”, an album full of heart-wrenching tales of loss and suffering hidden under the catchiest of pop melodies. Released on Bandcamp only and without any fancy marketing campaigns, the album soon became a cult hit. Six years later, the Barcelona based label Son Canciones gives this hidden masterpiece a second life with a worldwide extended re-release, adding four powerful tracks to the original album.
“The Creature That I Call Myself” is the first album of “Whisper & Shimmer”, a new series of releases of albums that have been unjustly forgotten. Songs that were somehow left behind, but that are too powerful to disappear. We’ll give them a second life. We’ll blow off the dust, and try to get the world to see how bright these gems really are.
A true gem hidden in Canadian forests & rivers. Just stop for a while, put headphones on and just listen.

The original idea came from one of my favourite movies ‘Home Alone’, hence the song samples the dialogues between ‘Pigeon Lady’ vs ‘Kevin’ about loneliness; we’ve all been staying ‘home alone’ during these past few months and it’s easy to feel lonely and lost, more so than any other times before. This is a song expressing how I feel during my lonely hours and I hope others will find my music relatable and perhaps a little less sad knowing that they’re not the only ones feeling this strange sensation.
A beautiful stripped-down lo-fi hip hop track. I love the “Home Alone” reference.

The teenage-esque feelings that revolve around waiting for someone to reciprocate feelings is equal parts exciting and gut wrenching. frogi’s newest single, “waiting (i’m not ok),” captures that perplexing duality. Turning the dreadedwaiting game on its head, the self-produced track features a paradoxical mix of upbeat, sugary instrumentation intertwined with an anxious inner monologue, culminating in an acceptance that she may not be okay (and that’s okay).
“It’s about admitting our aloneness and anxiety, and in turn, becoming friends with it and laughing with it. Sometimes you’ve just got to accept that you’re scared and try to make peace with it.” – frogi
An n-th single from frogi I am sharing. Again a great one.

Gaspard Eden is a singer/song-writer hailing from Quebec City.
Soft Power by Gaspard Eden is a hidden message. It’s a juggling dialogue between impulses and guilty pleasures. In this song, Eden manages to combine a stripped honesty with symbolist figures of speech. He emphasizes our inability to embody some of our deepest feelings. His dreamy bass lines, motoric chords progressions and ethereal vocal melodies serve as a canvas where our repressed fantasies are evoked.
Another single we are sharing from Canadian indie artist.

Derek Xu is a Canadian singer, songwriter and producer. He tries to listen to as much music as possible and thus his music has a wide variety of influences. Some of his favourite genres are indie rock, dream pop, shoegaze and hip-hop.
“I wrote this song when I was on the bus and the reflections of headlights in the window reminded me of stars. It’s a love song about how unbelievable it is that you can find a soulmate even though the world is so large.”
If you are patient, at 1:13 you will hear a nice shift I really liked. A really enjoyable bedroom/dream pop. Another small artist I am really excited to share with you all.

Jaguar Sun is a solo project created by multi instrumentalist Chris Minielly. Weaving together inspiration from bands such as STRFKR, Youth Lagoon, and Panda Bear, Minielly creates dreamy, pop centric soundscapes with experimental flair. The Ontario based artist allows his instruments to speak equally to his voice urging listeners to get lost in richly layered guitar lines and deep droning synths. Minielly is currently set to release his debut LP “This Empty Town” in the summer of 2020. A collection of 8 songs speaking to the loss of relationships and home town nostalgia that solidifies his unique sound in the alt / dream pop world.
“‘Those Days’ is a bittersweet remembrance of old relationships and nostalgic summer trips. It’s a song about holding onto old memories just long enough before you let them go and move on.”
A very talented musician coming to you from Ontario, Canada. The instruments in this song are just magical.
