KEEPS SHARE FULL STREAM OF ‘SHIMMERING’
Gusti Escalante and Robbie Jackson met the first day of college in the hills of Nashville. Both came with ambitions to write songs with new friends, but feared the heavy fog of Tennessee pop-country dreams might be all they would find. By the end of that night, they had written their first song together with whatever instruments happened to be unpacked – a floor tom and a guitar. They proceeded to write a song-a-day for a week, birthing a rare musical kinship – one that cut through the cloud of vanilla country music they feared would smother them.

Undercurrent, the fourth album from acclaimed GRAMMY nominated singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sarah Jarosz will be released on June 17th via Sugar Hill Records.

“MOBBIN” VIDEO
Signed to E-40’s Sick Wid It Records, Nef The Pharaoh delivered his debut retail release, a self-titled EP, in November to high critical praise. Nef revisits his debut EP in the new video for “Mobbin’,” produced by DJ Fresh. Debuted by WorldStarHipHop, the “Mobbin'” video sees the Bay Area’s prince and his Kil FMB crew hit their hometown of Vallejo, paying homage to the Bay Area’s hyphy movement, going dumb while hijacking a school bus with the hyperlocal Carquinez Bridge in the background. Following E-40 and Mac Dre, the forefathers of Vallejo hip-hop, the 20-year-old Nef has undoubtedly adopted the area’s colorful style and slang while being a pioneering voice in the youth movement. Nef followed his breakthrough project by joining producer Cardo for Neffy Got Wings, a collaborative EP which released in January.

TFG “HUSBAND AMD HUSBAND”
Just in time for election year, TFG unleashes “Husband and Husband”, the second video/single from their self-titled album. The stylized lyric video was directed by TFG’s Kneepad Nikki & longtime editor Jonny Jizz.
“Husband and Husband” was originally written as a reaction to the conservatives of the world. The ones who are convinced that Steve and Bob aren’t allowed to make out and fall in love because of something written in Deuteronomy- or was it Leviticus- or was it Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone?

PATRICE BAUMEL PREVIEW AUDIO
Occupying a highly distinctive and less-trodden niche in electronic music at the intersection of the emotive and the technical, Patrice Bäumel mixes the next compilation in the Balance Presents series. While you could loosely label him as a “techno” artist, his love of ambient, electronica and thereabouts are just as crucial to his musical identity as any sense of dancefloor machination might be.

MAYFAIR KYTES ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE ‘SLEEPYHEAD’
Melbourne four-piece, Mayfair Kytes have today announced the release of their debut album, Animus (out April 1), alongside quirky and musically dazzling single, Sleepyhead (out March 18). The folk-art-pop band will be hitting the road to celebrate the release with album launch shows at The Workers Club (Melb) on April 8 and The Vanguard (Syd) on April 28.
Layered with exquisite vocal harmonies and opulent string scores by Willow Stahlut (Cinematic Orchestra), the single is perfectly textured by bold, discordant guitars accentuating the song’s inimitable musical brilliance. “Sleepyhead is a meditation on two themes, one being the creative process versus the logical world and how choosing your own destiny can lead you down a long road of self-discovery that might clash with more pragmatic streams of life,” lead vocalist and songwriter Matt Kelly explains, “and secondly, it is about dealing with the depression that often comes with such a way of being.”

VICTORY DANCE “MEMPHIS”
At its core, Victory Dance is the “give no sh*ts” attitude of 5 guys who just play great music. And though the band is newly formed (September 2015), there’s no shortage of history. The group started when 3/5ths of pop act Fancy Reagan (Republic Records/Universal Music Group) sought out Kenny Collette, known for his work in Franchise and Lady Radiator (Emerald Moon Records), and Are Jay Helton of The Day Of (Warner Curb/Word Ent.) to start a more alternative project that would drive down a lane they were really passionate about.

THE BLANCOS “CAMERAS”

HOUND “DROWN”
Hound is a product of a peculiar yet familiar environment. Years spent together ingrained in dilapidated Brisbane share houses wherein countless nights were spent idealising and arguing the nuances of the 70’s and 80’s punk rock movement. British new-wave, post punk and 90’s alternative have unwittingly given Hound their personal take on the very sounds, values and ideas that have sculpted them as a band.

JIMBO MATHUS SENDS OUT SPARKS WITH ‘BAND OF STORMS’ EP + “GRINGO MAN”
Trying to pinpoint the musical proclivities of Jimbo Mathus is a bit like trying to predict the path of lightning. You never know where his seemingly limitless creative energy might take him next. But you can bet those bolts of inspiration will produce something you need to hear.
His latest project, the nine-song EP Band of Storms, out May 6, 2016 on the Big Legal Mess label (via Fat Possum), is a brilliant collection of what he characterizes as “just some odds and ends … you know, folk music.”
