Before sharing the music I try to listen to it for a couple of times to fully immerse into it. And sometimes, the tracks are getting better after each listening. This is the case. I am so getting into the vibe of this song, the instruments are so nice in this one. Also, the production on this track is really great. It feels so right for my farewell to summer.
It looks like this artist is on the path to be successful and widely know. It reminds me a little bit of early Bon Iver. Especially some instruments, but to be honest I like this much more. Some parts of the track are so beautiful.

Still, I do not know much about this musician other than they are from Nashville, Tennessee, but I am so into their music. I am so into this 80’s synth-pop, especially with such good drums. I am probably realized that in general, I am preferring quicker paced songs. Maybe because I want to move my hips to music a lot.

I do not know why but this song kind of brings me back to 60’s, maybe the guitar effect is doing that. Definitely a lot of nostalgia for older music in this one. But this is a really nice and well-produced song. If the radio would play this as “commercial” music I would not be unhappy at all.

“Union Station” was written and recorded one month into lockdown, a clichéd source of inspiration perhaps. The lyrics, a stream of consciousness – mostly kept intact until the very end. It did seem like the right station to go.
Another song I am sharing from a band that was featured on our seasonal comp. Mellow, slow piano track with subtle drums. What a nice atmosphere this song creates.

When Devil Town Tapes are releasing a new cassette I know I would love to own it. That’s why I have not hesitated and pre-ordered cassette with “batch_six” by boxset. Jsut the pure fact that it is released on DTT means a quality release I am excited to own. If you need more convincing, read this:
Metayouth is the project of Dakota Gilliland from Alabama, US. Dakota is a strong believer in DIY ethics and esthetics, and that is what drives his songwriting. He often hides sugary sweet pop melodies behind a wall of distortion, not as an accident, but as a creative choice.
I always loved fuzzy guitars. I was really into early Wavves music and this kind of brings me back to it. So happy that this single is coming our on new label Don’t Guitar Records run by my friend in Sweden. So excited for the future of this label.

What a beautiful indie-pop with such a great beat and very emotional lyrics. The best part was when I told Kaylee that I will share her new single. She was so happy and that makes me even more happier. If sharing music is not about making people (especially musicians) happy, I do not know why to do it anymore. So go, smash that play button and enjoy this amazing single.

This is Sagan Paisley’s first official release. It was inspired by the Butthole Surfers and samples “Everything is Going to Hell” by Teen Suicide. LONELY BOY bends a few genres, but nothing too out of the ordinary. The song in itself highlights some of the extents to which neglected and lonely teens will go to get someone to pay attention even resorting to self-loathing and self-harm.
I am really happy to share this track as it reminds me of the early stages of my blog. Also, I am very glad that the artist decided to put it on the Bandcamp. I always prefer to share music on Bandcamp. What a good lo-fi bedroom pop.

I am not usually premiering music, but when I do it is something very special. This is the case.
Community Swimming Pool is a project from multi-instrumentalist Glasgow musician Brett McCann.
It’s comfortable, familiar guitar sound of bygone, eighties days, and autobiographical lyrics of depression and toxic relationships make for excellent dreampop escapism.
The debut single ‘Upside Down’ is an ever-growing, sunny build up with hard-hitting themes about our troubled world. He’s here to set the mood for summer evening moments by the sea or golden hour at your local outdoor swimming pool.
Community Swimming Pool is being released on my favorite Backpack Records from Berlin. When writing this text I put this single on loop because it is that good. The guitar parts are just superb and the overall atmosphere of the song is so good. I wish I could describe the feeling I have when listening to this song, but my words are useless. Just press the play and enjoy it with me. You will not regret it.

This is my fourth consecutive single. It’s a chill indie song with upbeat drums and twangy guitars. It’s all about reflecting on the places you spend time in, and saying goodbye to those places. I wrote this while learning how to learning how to ride a bike so maybe that’s saying something!
