LA post-rock outfit GYPSUM release shimmering new single “Lungs,” premieres via Under The Radar

Steeped in classic-sounding shoegaze, recalling such pivotal acts such as Cocteau Twins, Throwing Muses, and Lush, “Lungs” swirls in swaths of shimmering musical layers with their vocals peeking out of the clouds like rays of sunlight. Jewell adds, “I love the heaviness of this song with the heavenly harmonies. It’s one of my favorites to play live.” Arboles chimes in saying that the creative process in general felt very “embodied.” “Recording this song was a fav of mine too. I played my old Silvertone with Goldfoil pickups into an old big muff into my Fender deluxe reverb. We rarely use distorted sounds, so this was my one chance to get it right. I ended up layering fuzzed out sounds with a super clean layer, and kind of mixed them in and out to taste. Sapphire is a pedal genius and I think did this song in one track and it sounds absolutely huge. Her whole guitar situation in the last chorus blows my mind each listen.”

Through the tension and pain comes a great relief.”

Natalie Dean Releases “More Than This”

San Francisco, Bay Area Natalie Dean brings a soft rock-pop anthem sound to “More Than This” with TLG Entertainment/INgrooves. Natalie has mastered well the cross-over genre production of music writing many musicians these days are continuing to develop. No longer placing one’s own creativity in a box but being able to bend and change much like life really works today. “More Than This” can set itself very well in a variety of styles and sounds and find itself perfectly comfortable and at home in the indie, soft rock, pop world of today. “More Than This” is multi-layered and carries this blend of tones in a subliminal attitude that is Natalie Dean’s signature style.
