Living Room “Mauve Frame” Video Premiere
Following the release of their single “Petrol Head”, Brooklyn emo outfit Living Room is back with a follow-up titled “Mauve Frame.” With reverb soaked guitars and plenty of distortion, “Mauve Frame” is a reflection on a love/hate relationship with art. “In this tune, I’m commenting on the dichotomy between enjoying art for art’s sake and hating it because of how it has destroyed my posture.” – Scott Fitzpatrick. With the help of director Brendan McKnight, Living Room put together a music video for “Mauve Frame” that is premiering now at Under the Radar Magazine. For the last decade, the band has released thoughtful and precise music that blends emo, shoegaze, and post-punk. Their upcoming album, New Years, is a culmination of years of playing together and the comfort that comes with that. “Mauve Frame” will be available on digital platforms on Friday, April 29th. New Years will be released by Brooklyn indie label, Fear Icon Records, on June 10th, 2022. Digital preorders are available now.

Alea Drops A Beautiful New Music Video For The Single “Arrullo” Featuring Renée Goust
“Arrullo” is a song inspired by ranchera and ballad genres, composed by Alea, Renée Goust and Sinuhé Padilla. Alea details, “I’ve been wanting to write a song with Renée for some time now. She has been a great inspiration to me as a writer and as an artist, because of her bravery as an LGTBQ+ activist and her feminist message. We met at the Jarana Records studio to write this song, which we later named “Arrullo”; paying homage to those lullabies that have the purpose of calming us down and centering us.” She adds, “As independent artists and as women we are constantly exposed to criticism and self-sabotage, situations that bring anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. It was beautiful to lean on that vulnerability, to talk about pain and anxiety as a silent partner to whom we must talk to and lull so that it does not take on so much prominence in our day to day life. So that we can continue with our purpose and dreams.”

STANDS ON SAPPHIRES, UNVEILS MASTERFUL INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM INVITING WARFARE… THERE ARE NO WORDS
Vancouver-based American/Canadian symphonic hard rock band Stands on Sapphires stormed onto the rock scene in an apocalyptic way at the end of last year with their entirely self-made and self-produced album Inviting Warfare. Now, the band is making waves again with the release of their new album Inviting Warfare…there are no words, an instrumental version of their pinnacle album. The band is made distinctive in part by its composition of a husband-and-wife duo with their life-long friend. Lead vocalist Bethany Rose, guitarist Trevor Isaac, and bassist Wade Britz, jammed together for years before deciding to go all-in on Stands on Sapphires in late 2019. The instrumental album Inviting Warfare…there are no words, removes all lyrics and vocals from Bethany Rose to emphasize the pure instrumental talent that is the backbone of the album. Emotions are still a heavy undercurrent in the album, even without lyrics, as the band states, “We’d say this a ‘Diva Free’ album…but that just wouldn’t be true.”
