Lev Snowe premieres new single “In a Few” via Earmilk
“In A Few” is sonically equipped with all the components for dream-pop perfection. Drifting through its musings, the wistful yet spiritually uplifting tune finds symmetry on the dance floor or on a drive up the coast.

BEASTIE BOYS: ILL COMMUNICATION TURNS 25
Debuting at #1 upon its May 1994 release, Beastie Boys’ fourth album was an unstoppable force, pervading every aspect of pop culture. Its charge to the top of the charts was led by “Sabotage” and its legendary Spike Jonze/Nathanial Hornblower ’70s TV police drama tribute, as ROLLING STONE dubbed Ill Communication 1994’s “soundtrack for summer.” Crowds and critics alike were floored by highlights “Sure Shot,” “Root Down” and “Get It Together,” as a VIBE (RIP)—in the magazine’s first cover story on a white artist–hailed Beastie Boys as “perhaps the most consistently innovative musicians to emerge out of hip hop.” It was a claim that Ill Communication has justified for years to come, and 25 years later Ill Communication’s impact has resounded with generation after generation.
Brook Alexx – Pop Music Video Feature – 100K Streams – ‘Bored’
“Bored” is a sassy bop depicting the trouble of dating a hot guy with a dull personality. Co-directed and co-edited by Kenneth Herron and Brooke herself, the video is very much an artistic metaphor for the relationship, taking the viewer into an alternate universe where color represents character. While Brooke stands out in bright, vibrant-colored outfits, her love interest remains in all-white, symbolizing his bland personality.

Kara addresses codependency, pulls away from the paralyzing and gripping expectations of others (as well as her own fearful thoughts), and steps into the autonomy of being herself and confidently making her own decisions despite what anyone else, even those closest to her, may say or think.

Heron is a four-piece musical collaborative from the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds.
