Introducing Kate Teague with “Poison Mind”

“Poison Mind” is deceptively soothing, with the most lush guitar progressions you’ve heard in a while filling out booming but gentle drums and subtle synth pads. However, once you dig into the lyrics you see how contrastingly dark and torturous they are, in a way that’s achingly monotonous and relatable – boiling up to a climax of “Should I quit? Should I have kids,” sung from deep in her chest in a voice that at times is reminiscent of Lana Del Rey in it’s airiness, and at times of Alanis Morissette in its scathing power.

Zelma Stone Announces a new EP with the release of her new single “Really There” and stunning video

Anyone who’s experienced grief knows that healing isn’t linear. There are days when it consumes and envelops, and others when a pinprick of light forces its way through the cloud cover, peeling the sky open to a fresh horizon. Grief’s ebbs and flows are unpredictable and we’re powerless to control them, much less the circumstances that set us afloat on their waters.

Modern Nature Returns With Epic New Single “Murmuration”

No Fixed Point In Space, the third full-length album by Jack Cooper’s Modern Nature, takes the palette of sound and themes that were honed on 2021’s Island Of Noise and launches them into an expansive world of openness and vivid technicolor. It’s a music that hasn’t been heard before; as melodic as anything Cooper has produced but framed by rhythms and instrumentation that reflect the chaos, unpredictability and color of the natural world.

High Pulp Share “Unified Dakotas” feat. Jeff Parker of Tortoise

Today they are sharing the album track “Unified Dakotas” feat. Jeff Parker. The song “Unified Dakotas” aligns High Pulp with the kind of adventurous music that defined the alternative ‘90s, a mix of post-rock guitars, head-nodding drums, bright horns, and electronics. It made perfect sense to reach out to Jeff Parker of Tortoise and have his guitar ring through the song as it transforms from shimmering jazz-funk to dreamy ambience and back. Listen to the track below.

Colter Wall Pens An Ode To The Good Stuff With “For A Long While”

Battle Creek, Saskatchewan – If his latest release, “Corralling The Blues,” was a glimpse into the hard times surrounding rural, agricultural communities, then Colter Wall’s new single “For A Long While” is the other side of the coin, laying out exactly what brings a smile to the beloved ranch hand’s face. A prairie ode to a great guitar, a timeless song, rest after a hard day’s work, and a perpetual itch to roam, “For A Long While” plays out like a quartet of vignettes punctuated by breezy harmonica and slide guitar melodies; upbeat and steady. “I guess that’s how it’s always been,” Wall sings through each refrain in his signature hardscrabble baritone. “Or at least for a long while.”
