New York indie-rock artist America Jayne’s (Erica), who recently directly addressed her journey of accepting her own identity as a pansexual cis woman, continues her journey of deep self discovery with her new single and visual “Don’t Worry About Selling Out”.
“Don’t Worry About Selling Out” is for every struggling and hustling musician out there who has to work a survival job to keep them afloat. Be it bartending or another full-time job, making ends meet can often foster an envious attitude towards full-time musicians. The straightforward song unapologetically chronicles feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, and jealousy. Being a bystander to another’s success, performing at dingy dives and struggling to stay true to one’s self for fear of “selling out”.

Marion Raw Shares “Run With The Sea” Via Under The Radar
Today, Mexico/LA-based artist Marion Raw shares “Run With The Sea,” an acoustic-driven song with a vintage feeling with an accompanying Lynchian video. Opening with the sound of static emulating the radio searching through stations, the song quickly and powerfully kicks in, Under the Radar writing “Raw doesn’t cut through the static, instead using it as just another part of her dreamlike haze. Accompanied solely by her acoustic guitar, Raw soaks into the unpolished reverie, drifting unmoored through the soundscape.”
Yo Kinky share 60s inspired themed spy video for “Wire,” self titled EP out now
“Wire,” finds the duo layering minimalist grooves in a dark and seductive setting. The song starts off with a driving beat followed by a repeating guitar motif that pushes forth until the bass fills out the sound with its own recurring pattern. As the Roland MC-202 taps a Morse code-style pattern, Wight discloses, “Anyone can tell I’m in line with the wire/Anyone can tell I’m aligned with the truth.” Saturated in upward portamentos, elasticity, and desire, Wight’s distinct delivery slides her voice into the warm space, claiming control. As the song jolts forward, dissonant melodies join the atmosphere as it propels toward an expansive synth climax.

Chad VanGaalen latest single ‘Starlight”‘
Out now on Flemish Eye/Sub Pop, the LP began life as a “pretty minimal” flute record. (There’s only a vestige now, on “Flute Peace, “one of three instrumentals.) Later it became an electronic record “for a while” and finally, “right at the last second,” it “turned into a pile of garbage.” The good kind of garbage: glinting, useful, free. Music as compost – leaves, and branches ready to be re-ingested by the earth, turned into a flower.

JESSICA HART RETURNS WITH STELLAR NEW SINGLE ‘RELAPSE’// LISTEN HERE
I haven’t released music in a few years due to both too many happy and sad moments, and a lot of healing through past traumas. I knew that when I did release something again, I wanted it to be real and reflective of who I am and what I’ve gone through. I struggle with addiction and mental health, and I know a lot of other people do too. I don’t want to stay silent about it, because silence only breeds stigma. When co-writing “Relapse”, the very first line I wrote, was “Put down the bottle”. That’s what I would tell myself every morning when I woke up. To me, the song is talking both to the person suffering the addiction, to those around them, and to the substance itself. Sometimes it really does feel that it’s all that you’ve got. Addiction is lonely. I want others that are struggling out there to know that they are not alone.
