Sinless Premiere New Single “Strange Reality” Via the Line of Best Fit
Portland-based guitar-pop group Sinless formed in 2015. Fronted by Pittsburgh native Cor Allen, the group released their debut record Ethereality, a 4 song EP that showcased the young band’s propensity for mining the best of early ’90s 4AD, brit-pop and Madchester sounds.

Sian Cross Shares New Single After Critical Acclaim
Sian Cross stunned listeners with her recent single Tell Anybody. Praised by critics and fans alike, it was made Track Of The Day on Clash, whilst reviewers praised her honest songwriting and exquisite vocals.
During On and On, her character fights for survival on the strip club stage, outwardly dominant but inwardly vulnerable. Her hypnotic vocals switch effortlessly from whisper to yell, against a sonically adventurous backdrop of startling synths and stuttering rhythms. It’s like Banks’ vocals married with FKA Twigs productions. Every listen reveals new layers. Sian will be heading out on tour in November with some talented artists, including a support slot for American artist Mishka Shubaly.
Maria Usbeck share “Jungla Inquieta (Jensen Sportag Remix)”
“Maria’s Jungla inquieta has this wonderful meditative tropicality, like a solitary being contemplating morning in a very young village.

When talking about “Extended Dance Mix” lead singer David Best said,”Extended Dance Mix” maps out the route from the very beginning of the group to the present day, passing through fleeting triumphs and more than the occasional failure and frustration.

“The track is beautifully orchestrated, featuring melodic piano lines, ferocious crashing high-hat drums, and most notably Ona’s gorgeous, breathy alto vocals which have drawn comparisons to alt-rock darlings like Mazzy Star (though I would lean more toward shoegaze ladies like Rachel Goswell from Slowdive or Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser.)” – AudioFemme
Bobby Nourmand – “D E E P in NY”
September has been an impressive month for LA/NY-based Bobby Nourmand, after being dubbed one of the ‘Hottest New Artists’ from both DJMag and Mixmag in their September issues. That’s not why we’re here though – We’re here for ‘D E E P in NY.’ After seeing a heavy rotation on Sirius XM’s Chill Station, an impressive showing in Hype Machine’s popular charts, and widespread tastemaker support, “D E E P” received an unexpected, yet proper Big Apple twist.
Drawn to Bobby Nourmand’s haunting melodies, deep-as-the-Atlantic basslines, and meticulously layered soundscapes, GoodMorning and DOC, two New York-based rappers, added another layer to an already stellar track. Bringing in a fresh perspective with a catchy-as-hell hook and some absolutely fire bars, these two showcase an end result that’s worthy of cracking a fresh pair of Jordan’s out the box, rocking a pair of dark shades, & getting too-lit-for-your-own-good in the VIP. There might be, just a few more parties, from New York to LA. With Bobby’s long-standing roots in NYC, and his lifelong affinity with the culture of hip-hop, this unlikely-at-first collaboration ended up being a perfect match. All that’s left to do is head out and get fucked up, for no reason.

SLOW BULLET PREMIERES NEW SONG, “THE FISCAL YEAR”
“‘The Fiscal Year’ is song about divorce,” explains Slow Bullet mastermind Sam DeBurgh. “It revolves around a couple falling out of love and beginning to look at their relationship through a self-interested lens, almost like a business with a profit motive. The narrator is looking back over the past few years of his marriage and finding that, although he feigns love for his spouse, he feels he could get a better ‘profit’ elsewhere.”

Guitarist and Vocalist Thomas Galloway penned ‘Like A River’ and explains the origin: “When I get the chance, I love to go up to my cabin in North Georgia and write music, it’s a small rustic area in the mountains overlooking the Cartecay River so there are several songs that have been influenced by the feel and scenery of that place. ‘Like A River’ is one of those songs. It touches on trust, the gratefulness of being loved, and how that feeling can flow over and through you like rushing water.”
