Henry Jamison follows up with the memorizing ‘Through A Glass’
Assuming that a pedigree in such things has any relevance at all, which is certainly unclear, Henry Jamison was perhaps predisposed to songwriting. His great-great-great-great-great-great-great (etc.) grandfather was the 14th century poet John Gower (friend to Chaucer and Richard II) and his great-great-great-great grandfather was George Frederick Root, the most popular songwriter of the Civil War era. Probably more relevant is that his mother is an English professor and his father a classical composer, who gave him a Korg 8-track recorder and his first guitar.

Prichard’s music is steeped in Americana, with a weighty baritone voice that simultaneously conjures ANOHNI and Leonard Cohen.

SIIMBA LIIVES LONG
Fire breathing? Check. Lion taming? Check. World class rhymes? Check. Although akin to something you might find at a Ringling Brothers show, these are actual attributes to one Brooklyn based emcee known as Siimba Liives Long. The African-American musician born in New York, and raised in a myriad of places from Ethiopia to Washington D.C, has found an ample footing among the tastemaker set due to whirlwind rhymes whose lyrical content is thought-provoking and whimsical. As NPR puts is, Siimba’s flow is “sportive yet serious, playing equal parts esoteric and quizzical.”

Chris Staples premieres his video for “Park Bench”
For some time, Chris Staples was longing for things to return to the way they had been. The way they were before he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and his pancreas failed. Before his bike accident and the resulting hip surgery. Before the dissolution of a long-term relationship. He had been left to pick up the pieces, but for a long time couldn’t bring himself to. “I felt for a several years like I was mourning. Mourning a happier time in my life, or a time when I was more youthful. Everything was different for me after that period in my life.”

blonder debuts new track “talk to me”
“Sometimes you just know—a song starts, and no more than a few seconds in, a smile creeps onto your face. The actual subject matter of Blonder’s “Talk To Me” isn’t all that optimistic—it’s a story of missed connections—but those bright, buzzy synths and the faraway vocals are irresistible. If you have a pulse, “Talk To Me” will quicken it. Blonder has played with Blood Orange and Porches in the past, and if “Talk To Me” is any indication, they made the most of it.

HOOTS AND HELLMOUTH PREMIERE NEW “DICTION” VIDEO
Hoots and Hellmouth’s fourth album In The Trees is an effort that feels like an expedition. Through dark tangles of thickets and underbrush, a path winds its way through the density of lived life, finally opening up into a sun-drenched field in which to stretch out, breathe deep and reflect on the journey… weary travelers dressing wounds while wistfully recalling tales of courage and self-doubt, love and longing.

When all their voices come together on the chorus, the euphoria of the song is realized.

Indie Trio Oblio Premiere 3rd Hard Driving Single “Weatherman”
Long Beach trio Oblio have perfectly captured the sound and cynical nature of ’90s alternative rock as they take on “party culture” in their ironically festive single, “Weatherman.””Weatherman” is the new track from Oblio’s upcoming record, Autophobia.
