This song is written for Hana Kimura, the late wrestler who starred in the hit Japanese reality TV series, Terrace House. She took her life on May 23, 2020, due to cyberbullying. I wrote the song the morning I woke to the news of her passing. She was what you might call an effervescent person, so this one hit hard. She was 22.

A beautiful heartwrenching indie rock. So fitting for this Friday evening.

Whilst in between fronting other bands Pet Shimmers & Lucky Shivers, Cold Tangerina is the first single from Oro Swimming Hour’s third album out in summer 2020. The epitome of a feel-good, lo-fi pop song, Cold Tangerina passes by like a cool breeze whilst inducing the feeling of a pleasantly sticky summer day. With a DIY ethos recording onto tape machines, it also features vocals from fellow Bristol musicians herbal tea & Sleep Radio.

This song features my favorite herbal tea & Sleep Radio, which have been part of our compilations. Really beautiful lo-fi bedroom pop song. Reminds me a lot of early 2010s Bandcamp times. What a nice memory.

Love Montage is Solomon from Nashville, Tennessee.

2020 has been rough. I recorded this tune during lockdown here in Nashville as kind of a pep talk to myself. I wanted to tap into the feelings that made me fall in love with music to begin with.

I love the lyrics in this song. I am jamming to this song really hard.

Photobooth details the experience of someone coming to terms with a long term break up & accepting the reality of moving on. There’s a strong sense of optimism and heartbreak as the song opens up with front man Jordan Depas’s voice delivering a raw performance, setting the tone for the rest of the track.

A beautiful voice (very interesting color) getting deep into your music soul. Melancholic, nonchalant indie pop from Melbourne.

Read this interesting story:

Cape Francis is a solo project started by guitarist and vocalist Kevin Olken Henthorn. After the break up of a former band that worked heavily in traditional pop structures and production, Henthorn started the new project as a way to break form and reconnect to a natural flow of instrumentation and storytelling.

Henthorn started playing guitar when he was 9 years old. He studied music with teachers ranging from classical to blues to metal, but by the time he was 15 he decided to commit solely to writing his own material. For Henthorn, writing was a way to practice and push his fundamentals, and discovery became intrinsic to each new piece he wrote.

Cape Francis was meant as a way to return to that mentality, to re-approach a relationship with an instrument after years of feeling stuck. The outcome is a new sound for Henthorn and is always evolving. It is centered around finger picked electric guitar, and surrounded by simple arrangements of percussion and synthesizers. Cape Francis pulls from folk and modern influences alike to bring the listener to an inviting atmosphere where familiarity and discovery are both at the forefront. In his third LP “Plateaus”, due out on Sleep Well Records, he examines the themes of neurosis, anxiety, and the erosion of mental health that played throughout his 20’s. The album serves as an effort to recognize the inevitable hurdles ahead and strives to visualize the path forward.

A beautiful. heartful indie rock.

Migrant Caravan (Maicol Ospina-Bedoya) is a Montreal-based Colombian producer focused on blending Latino sounds (from guasca, salsa to cumbia) with more contemporary alternative indie music. Migrant Caravan elaborates on an alternative sound that tries to materialize in songs the feeling of growing up in one of Colombia’s most notorious neighbourhoods (La Comuna 13), and also being an immigrant in North America.

The song is inspired by the french story The Werewolf. Written by Boris Vian in 1970.

A beautiful exploration of different sounds and melodies. Very enriching.
