Music Submission: Isaac Abbey

Isaac Abbey is a singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, California. Starting to write songs on his grandma’s old Washburn at the age of 14, he always dreamed of doing it for a living one day.

Kisskadee – Black Hole Era

Kisskadee is the maximalist project of multi-instrumentalist Kasie Shahbaz. Her orchestral arrangements and strange time signatures are a breaking away from traditional songwriting limitations, while also maintaining a lyrical, folk like sensibility. Elements of psychedelia and ambient chaos litter the record, while detailed imagery ground the chaos with vivid detail.

Black Hole Era uses the birth and death of the universe as a chronological allegory for childhood through adulthood. The record tracks our expanding circle of relationships as we age; first with mother, then with siblings, then with lovers. However, like the cosmos, as this circle expands, it is also dying. The record stands witness to the loss of childlike safety and the lonely longing of adulthood.

Indie Pop Band «Stay Illusion» with their new single «Waves»

Waves tries to deal with those feelings of insecurity by thinking about what it would be like to start over again.»
