NEW lyric video for NEOPERA (“Tuba Mirum” out from homonymous EP)
Tuba Mirum is an epic monument and unites three contrasting voices, large choirs and gripping instrumental interludes into a brute body of work that describes the turmoil of the world in all its facets. Tuba Mirum combines intense hope for a peaceful world with brutal reality. Neopera pulls out all the stops in this song to show the versatility of their own music.

Cosmo Gold Shares Debut Album, KRONG via Wonderland
Today, LA alt-pop group Cosmo Gold share their much-anticipated debut album, Krong: a record, yes, but also an intergalactic sonic experience, and invitation to an alternate universe.

Joshua Lewis Shares “I Was There” Single via Glasse Factory
Friction earns its breezy yet earnest tones from yacht rock, the core tenets of the genre offered in spades throughout. Ear-tickling melodies, like the parabolic sway of the vocal on opener “Thinkin’ About You,” guide listeners through crystal-clear production values and a storytelling bent both misty-eyed and microscopic in its detailing. This balancing act of simplicity and shrewd twists in formula stems from Lewis’ love of Steely Dan, masters of this tightrope walk. Said Lewis: “You can hear a song that’s so playful or sweet, and they just throw theory around like nobody’s business: pop sensibility with left turns to keep you guessing and keep your attention. I love that, I wish I heard more of it today.”
