New Music From Declan J Donovan “Homesick” EP Out Now Via Interscope Records
Speaking about the EP, Donovan reveals, “This EP is a collection of songs that are very personal to me. One thing I pride myself on in my songwriting is the honesty in the lyrics. A few of the songs have been hard for me to release, like “Pieces” and “Father’s Son,” as they’re topics that I’ve always found hard to talk about like mental health and growing up without a dad in my life.”
Peel Dream Magazine shares new “Pill” video
Peel Dream Magazine is the musical vehicle for NYC’s Joe Stevens, who launched the band in 2018 with the critically acclaimed album Modern Meta Physic. With it Stevens created a mysterious, liminal tribute to the hazy end of ‘90s dream-pop – a masterful mix of first-class songwriting precision and train-window sonic impressionism. Stevens played all the parts on Modern Meta Physic himself, blending live and sampled sounds into uniquely identifiable and abstractly psychedelic soundscapes. The album struck a perfect balance between DIY bedroom pop auteurism and studio wizardry and duly found its place on numerous “Best of 2018” lists.

KINLEY – ‘Washington’
“I recorded “Washington” with Colin Buchanan, who worked with me to create more of an upbeat feel than a previous version of the track. Aaron Comeau added guitar and my father played drums and snare drum to capture the song’s marching feel.”
On the track, Brandon floats over the laid-back, mellow production while explaining to listeners the importance of leveling up and putting the proper work and effort into your dreams. Brandon on the song’s meaning: “It’s a song about stepping up to the plate and executing your destiny. Fully living out your goals and resolutions. Flexing your muscles and showing the world that you are close to reaching your potential.” Aside from its cool demeanor and heavy bassline, “Flexin” is also a subtle, unashamed dedication to the love of God and love of self.

In the video, I impersonate an older version of myself — a more mature woman, almost like a retired film star from the ’60s, who’s been waiting her whole life for something to happen, for love to come. The video is about this never-ending wait — waiting for something to end, waiting for something to start, waiting for someone to come home, for a phone call, for someone who’s going to love me.”
