Brother Son Premiere ‘Candy’ Music Video Via Vents Magazine

The story of Brother Son begins with four unlikely friends of disparate musical tastes and backgrounds uniting over a shared love of Alabama Shakes, The Strokes, Mac DeMarco, and ganj. Their music reflects this, bringing a unique blend of bluesy soul and jazzy smoothness to indie rock. And so they began in early 2017 with their debut EP Young & Pretty, the first order of business being to play as many shows in as many midwestern cities as they could. Rising quickly to local prominence, by the end of that year they began headlining and selling out shows at venues like El Club, The Shelter, and The Loving Touch. Now, with a tour under their belts as well, they’ve been gearing up to release their second LP, Goodies, with even more tucked away for a third project slated for early 2020. With all that locked and loaded, their next move will be east and west coast tours this summer.

Trickshooter Social Club – Carry Me Home single

Borne out of yearning, Trickshooter Social Club’s newest single Carry Me Home is a song for everyone who has ever felt lost or disconnected in the wilderness of life. It’s about trying to claw your way back home; self-actualizing as you admit that you’re lost, return to the places you know, and regain a semblance of self. Ultimately, though, it’s about the intimacy found when you’re stripped down and finally willing to ask for help, comparing vulnerability to a slow, unrehearsed waltz.

ARCHSPIRE’s Music Used as Template for AI-Generated Death Metal

Dadabots is special artificial intelligent (AI) software that creates music. The software, developed by Berkley College of Music graduates Zack Zukowski and CJ Carr, is built upon a “recurrent neural network” that receives data and then uses it to interpret musical sequences on its own. Simply stated, the software teaches itself how to compose music based on the work of an existing band as its data-set.

After several failed attempts at creating stable, listenable death metal, the creators turned to the music of ARCHSPIRE, which ended up being the perfect template to generating metal tunes via artificial intelligence.
