Folk singer Lisa Bastoni’s new album, How We Want to Live, chronicles life changes, including songs about the dissolution of her marriage and learning to live a new normal — but more than anything, it finds the songwriter diving deeper into the life she craves. Throughout ten tracks, themes wind from romantic relationships to those with her children, parents, and friends. Weaved throughout are hopes for herself and the world around her.

Hans Bilger announces new album, shares track
“Meridian is many things at once,” Hans says. “It’s a solo piece, a community effort; a first shot and a kind of culmination. There are songs about faith, German, driving through Oregon, and a boy looking out a window. There are folk groups, bar bands, string quartets and jazz ensembles. There are flattops and Stratocasters, synths and pump organs, church balconies and distortion fields. There are words by me, my sister Ruby, my former Skype ESL student, and an anonymous college classmate. My sister Evangeline plays a giant cat.
Today, Texas Monthly has premiered the video for “Everyone’s Gone To The Moon,” which captures a live performance of the song, solo at the piano. The Erica Alexandria Silverman-directed clip features Ellis in a custom, space-themed suit created by Joe David Walters and Jerry Lee Atwood of Union Western. Texas Monthly stated, “The sequined rockets and astronauts glint on the deep blue blazer like stars in the night sky. Ellis, solo on the piano like Simone, sings in an almost elegiac tone before his voice lifts off in the final refrain. It serves as a fitting soundtrack for contemplating this milestone and considering what giant leaps we have yet to make.”

[Video] Re-Surch – “Famous Girls I’d Like To F**k”
A light-hearted, playful, comedic video-single about famous females he’d like to f**k. Taking the same approach as 50 Cent did with ‘How To Rob,’ Boston’s Re-Surch has fun with lyrical content and word-play, showing a skill level that’s gasping for air in this era. The highly magnetic album “Raised In The Ghetto, Went To School In The Burbs” is an honest, unrestrained depiction of Re-Surch and his unique/rough upbringing. This LP is designed to intrigue the listener as they hear about the hardships and triumphs he’s faced to date, featuring Singapore Kane, Revalation [of EMS], Sal Governale and WAX. #resurch #famousgirlsidliketofuck #raisedintheghettowenttoschoolintheburbs

THE GRAHAMS Explore Parts Unknown with Cinematic KIDS LIKE US out Sept 20!
“Perhaps we started writing this album with a sense of escapism,” posits Alyssa Graham of musical duo THE GRAHAMS. “We said, ‘Fuck the genre labels people want to put on us.’ We never felt they fit us anyway.” In one way or another, every release by the lifelong musical and romantic partners, Alyssa and Doug Graham, began with an escape or adventure that expanded their musical boundaries. This third record, Kids Like Us (Out September 20, 2019 via 3 Sirens Music Group/RED MUSIC/The Orchard), is no exception, exploring balmy and graceful dream pop, 50’s mod influenced garage-rock energy, 60’s and 70’s style groovy guitars, and an explosive Morricone-esque cinematic intrigue. “We wanted to just let go and explore, and it made all the difference,” adds her husband, Doug Graham. “For the first time, there was no self-doubt, no self-loathing – just gratitude, bliss, and a complete sense of satisfaction in the process and the results.”
