Emo Punks Four Stars Release New Single “Small Hands, Small Spaces”

“‘Small Hands, Small Spaces’ is a song about feeling a certain way, not knowing why you feel that way, and knowing that it’s okay to feel what you do,” says vocalist Aida Ahmed. “The lyrics to this song is the release to all the social anxiety I experience in my day to day. I often used to feel terrible about having to cancel plans with friends/family because my anxiety got the best of me, despite knowing I just needed time to get in the right headspace.”

Agnes Obel Releases New Single & Video for “Broken Sleep”

“This song was, surprisingly enough, written in a period where I was struggling with falling asleep. In the effort to find a cure I began to read about the science of sleep as well as the cultural history of sleep which led me to the ancient idea that sleep and death are familiar states and problems with sleep are linked to a fear of death. Relics of this idea are still to be found in our language today, in the way we describe both death and sleep.” – Agnes Obel
