Quelle Chris – “Straight Shot”
Quelle Chris joins Cavalier, Bilal Salaam, Grammy Nominated pianist Eldar Djangirov, and comedian James Acaster for the beautiful skyward looking new single “Straight Shot.” The song is the second single from Quelle’s upcoming album Guns (3/29) and offers a swirling dreamscape, a 6 minute vision of better things to come. When Frito Lay has been gourmet for so long and you continue to make and live with nothing but love, because while the bullshit is evident, so to is the glory of all your life’s perfection. Melancholy, down-tempo, reflective, and pregnant with the light of promise, Quelle’s new track Straight Shot plays like a choir being lifted by unseen angels.
Barrie share “Darjeeling” video
Inclusivity is at the heart of Barrie, the Brooklyn five-piece made of Barrie Lindsay, Dominic Apa, Spurge Carter, Sabine Holler and Noah Prebish. And on their debut LP Happy To Be Here, their multidimensional take on classic pop sounds awake and present, like a group that’s daydreaming but firmly there with one another. Lindsay largely wrote these songs late into the night, alone in her apartment, and her voice feels appropriately full of possibility throughout.
Steven Moses Shares New Video “Leave Me”

Tying it all together are brief, yet intimate, moments in the studio allowing his vulnerability to truly radiate through his performance.

From their earliest days as the solo project of frontman Rick Maguire, Pile have followed an unusual path through a decade in which rock bands have generally receded from the cultural spotlight.

FACS share “Total History” from their upcoming album, ‘Lifelike’
Chicago trio FACS have shared “Total History” from their sophomore album Lifelike (out March 29 via Trouble in Mind). The hypnotic shuffle of the expansive track’s main refrain belies the blunt-force of its closing minutes, in which a lilting guitar melody suffers a sheer weight of sonic force from the rhythm section, seeming to blow out the speakers it emanates from.
