WATCH: The intoxicating colour of “Stowaway”

“Stowaway” was filmed during a rainy fall day across multiple locations in the suburbs of Toronto. Ironic yet appropriate to the song, the images are everything but a southern oasis. We can be seen driving a vintage Mercedes and swimming in a pool, although the dismal scenes don’t express a vacation whatsoever. Rather, they show the disillusion of the lyrics– “down south we got it made / living in the sun.”

Of the album, Noisey proclaims, “As far as I’ve been concerned since I hit upon them a few years back, Whitey Morgan and the 78’s are a bright spot in a modern country landscape,” and goes on to assert, “As his profile has risen, he’s kept his nose to the grindstone, cranking out old time country music with a heavy debt to the rabble-rousers of old—your Waylons, your Willies, your Kristoffersons, and of course, your Merles. In other words, the good shit.”

Wilson Releases Remix For “F*ck Up My High” Featuring Hyro The Hero

“When you’re on the come up in our genre, I find it very rare for artists to support other artists even when they are seemingly walking in the same shoes,” states Wilson frontman Chad Nicefield about the collaboration. “Specifically, when artists tour together there’s always a sense of getting the ‘one up’ on your peers. Everyone seems to be vying for that ‘next big thing’ look and seem to forget the reason why we wanted do this…for the music, the fans, to be a part of something bigger than yourself.

Brooklyn electronic/dance duo Haulm announce ‘Posture’ EP,

Brooklyn-bred duo Haulm make music that’s unhurried and ethereal, an intricate filigree of delicate melodies and otherworldly beats. So it’s fitting that their handle comes from a soft substance long ago used in bedding, a little-known name for the stem of the pea plant, a word chosen for its conjuring of the natural world and the warmth of sleep and—true to the enchanted quality of Haulm’s songs—Hans Christian Andersen’s The Princess and the Pea. On their sophomore EP Posture, vocalist/composer JT Norton and producer Reed Kackley show the subtle depth of their artistry, gracefully drifting from moody balladry to ambient experimentation to strangely hypnotic effect. Today the duo share the minimalist dance track,”Loss”, the first single off their forthcoming ‘Posture’ EP (out early 2019 on Grand Jury Music). You can listen on Soundcloud.
