Single: Very Busy People – Impression, Sunrise
In 1872, Claude Monet debuted a painting of a sunrise over the sea, and 150 years later, an indie band out of Austin, Texas, captures the same feeling in song.
Single: Helicopter Leaves – What’s One More Place?
Beach Bunny’s Anthony Vaccaro takes off at full speed on this new single, kicking up a sound that’s full of energy and brimming with nostalgia.
Single: Lana Leone – Paper Cranes
Deeply romantic “Paper Cranes” is full of ecstasy and delight while channeling Lana Leone’s dark shoegaze sound.
Album: Sleeps While Walking – Sleeps II
The staples are still there, the lamenting vocals, the solemn yet heavy guitar, the overall washed-out sound, but there is something more mature about this record. It isn’t just sad for the sake of being sad; it tackles the emotion with purpose and refuses to give in or let go.
