New Quarantunes For You
While we all hold up in our homes, new music flows in from the world outside. A little reminder that it is still spinning. We couldn’t be more grateful for these artists and the new music they just put out that is keeping our ears and hearts preoccupied.
Local
Elizabeth Claire Prophet,
Remnant
Listening to this song is like staring into the dark blues and greys of the ocean, meditative and haunting in it’s expansiveness. “I don’t want to love you too much,” is sung like a ritual. Listen and feel your heart grieve the world as we know it.
Emily Silks,
New Pine (single)
Emily has enchanted us all releasing her first ever single. The drums are soft and rumbling, the guitar dreamy, her voice is clear and calm, singing a sweet serenade to the forest: “ I see a new pine in an old forest. It looks like, to me, a joyful, “What if?”
Second Hand Shenanigans,
Operating from the Subconscious (single)
This song is deep and raw, echoing over guitar. It balances between beaming and brooding. Atmospheric sounds bubble between whispers that lead us into a folk tune, finding personal space and taking inventory.
Jackson Hole and the Highway Patrol,
Aspens (single)
This breezy country tune rolls out mountainous landscapes, breathing in fresh air. With nostalgia and gratitude, it is a reminder to hug the earth. Jackson Holte and the Highway Patrol’s new album “Last Rain of the Summer'“ will be out on streaming platforms March 29th.
Top 5 Picks for This Week’s New Releases
Half Waif, The Caretaker
This is the kind of celestial electropop melodrama that connects all of us right now. “The Caretaker” feels like a surreal dream, lost in the atmosphere between reality and telepathic truths. It taps into a personal nervous system in order to feel the pulse of the world’s.
Waxahachee, Saint Cloud
We recommend watching the sun go down listening to this new Waxahatchie. Katie Crutchfield’s country rock melodies gleam in “Saint Cloud.” This album ponders life in a way that is both romantic and pragmatic, a self-surrendering humility and hope.
Little Dragon, New Me Same Us
Little Dragon’s new record is perfect for social-distancing-apartment-dance-parties. Dreamy enough to have in the background but funky enough to grab your attention, this is perfect for nights alone. Imagine you’re at a club in Sweden, turn on some psychedelic lights and let your hair down.
Deeper, Auto-Pain
This album builds pressure. Melodic post-punk is driven by synth lines that summon. Lyrics reflect nauseating realizations, both personally and universally perplexed. Deeper is somewhere between Joy Division and The Killers kind of dark and dancey angst.
Orion Sun, Hold Space For Me
Quarantine and chill to these spacey beats and turn your bedroom into a spaceship. This cosmic and tender pop will tend to your loneliness. Smooth vocals sing songs of longing.
