Cleveland’s Biitchseat releases sophomore LP ‘Float’ today on Refresh Records!

Biitchseat finds themselves riding through the peaks and valleys of emotional waves as they explore new depths in their sophomore album, Float. An album that is about how every aspect of what it means to be alive is simultaneously so hollow and so very full, and the beauty that resides in between.

Little Hurt Releases New Track “Chelsea’s Coming Over”

“’Chelsea’s Coming Over’ is sort of about constantly looking for love but feeling like you’re not entirely ready for it when it arrives,” states Dieden about the track. “I can remember times in my life when I’d meet someone so incredible- so insanely special- and I’d be sitting there on the couch thinking about myself and my life like ‘I do not even deserve this.’ Which isn’t true. This song is about realizing you deserve to be loved and to love. It’s about feeling GOOD about yourself despite all the reasons your mind will create to make you feel otherwise. This is a love song to yourself. My favorite thing about ‘Chelsea’s Coming Over’ is that I got to write it with my best friends and I’ll never forget how much fun we had doing it.”

YE & XXXTENTACION “TRUE LOVE” OUT NOW

Says John Cunningham, X’s longtime collaborator, on the creation of the track, “For four years the song has been playing in my head. Ever since X first started singing “True Love” around the house in early 2018 it stood out to both of us as a special song. While we weren’t able to finish recording the song at the time, four years later in January of this year I had the opportunity to meet Ye while he was working on Donda 2 and I played him the demo of it. At the time it was only X’s vocal and my piano, but as soon as Ye heard it and started singing over the instrumental section in between X’s choruses, it felt like the song was always meant to be finished by him. As someone X has cited for years as one of his biggest inspirations both musically and more widely as an individual, Ye breathed a life into the song that I feel blessed to have been witness to. I couldn’t imagine being more proud of how this song came to be, both as a collaborator and as a friend trying to do right by the legacy of someone who was taken far before reaching their full creative potential.”

For Valencia, the process of songwriting is therapeutic, an escape, but its also clear she’s on a mission to be a voice for other girls.

Black Masses Present Self-Titled Album ‘Black Masses’

Black Masses bring hard rock and garage rock together on their unhinged self-titled effort. Volume is a given for they play as loudly as they possibly can. Everything here has a degree of wild, feral spirit to it. They dive deep into rock’s very soul within each of these tracks while they conjure up a feeling that is quite timeless. Forgoing trends, they opt instead for a truly classic approach, one that has an arena-like expanse to all of it. Vocals scream through the din helping to work as the very unifying force of the entire thing.

“Hell is Knocking” starts things off with a sheer blast of energy, and it only increases from there. Tempos are brought to their breaking point. Eerie atmospherics draw the listener close on the expanse of “Creepin” as the guitar get woven together to make a wonderful tapestry. Lyrics have a gothic cryptic poetry to them. A sheer wall of sound crashes over the listener as “On the Come Up” has them completely and fully freak on out. Confidence reigns supreme on the swagger of “What did I do?”. Modest Mouse’s sense of freedom rolls as “Perfect” is a pure rush. Things mellow a bit on “Deep Sea Crash Dream” by far the highlight of the album, with a stately grandeur to it. Bringing the whole thing to a satisfying close is the title track “Black Masses”.

Everything about Black Masses’ self-titled effort revels in its purely chaotic yet strangely appealing gigantic sound.

SINGER SONGWRITER JESSICA CARTER ALTMAN’S HEARTFELT NEW SINGLE “LUCKY ONE’

Rising pop singer-songwriter Jessica Carter Altman, who is currently putting the finishing touches on a new EP, For You, the follow-up to her debut No Rules, is sharing a new song, “Lucky One”—a heartfelt ballad dedicated to her father. This first single is perhaps the most deeply personal song to date in her repertoire—it’s a gorgeously uplifting acoustic ballad that pays homage to the strength and inspiration her father instilled in her. That strength and passion has seen her through many phases of her life—from her fast-track career as a successful lawyer, to the moment that her artistic impulses galvanized her to pursue music. The song was written by Carter Altman and Palmer Lee and produced by Jason Lehning. Also appearing on the song are Todd Lombardo on acoustic guitars, Viktor Krauss on bass, Jordan Lehning on keyboards and percussion, and Palmer Lee on backing vocals. “Lucky One” will be released digitally via Symphonic.

New Video By Mighty Koba feat. Jaey London “2 Many”

Those who grew up listening to all the best 2000s hits can speak of the infectious releases and the popularity of the music. Anyone trying to relive the musical glory days of that decade and get a taste of the vibes of industry greats ⁠— like Usher⁠— needs to have a listen to up-and-coming afro-fusion star Mighty Koba. Born as Ernest Nguatem in Cameroon, Africa, and currently residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, music has always been a key component of his upbringing. He initially discovered his passion for music through dance, looking up to the renowned talents of Michael Jackson from a young age. Now, dancing is of utmost importance in his creative process of making songs, as he puts the choreography before songwriting, singing, and other components. His latest single, “2 Many,” featuring Jaey London (Justin Onyewuchi), showcases all that makes his art unique, special, and reminiscent of the 2000s popular music. With London’s production expertise behind this track, Mighty Koba is learning all the important tricks of the trade and making his way as a contemporary artist that exudes the best nostalgic vibes from a highlight stage in music history.

Bringing together the contemporary and the nostalgic, “2 Many” offers the perfect balance between the most beloved features of the music of today and yesterday. The Zulu XL (Ramses Nguatem)-produced backing track with the smooth and meaningful yet catchy vocals aligns with the early aughts R&B style Mighty Koba found great inspiration from. However, the message packs a more modern perspective. Time and time again, there have been songs exploring the objectification of women by men. Instead, “2 Many” ponders the aftermath of a steamy nightclub encounter that ponders what happens when the roles are reversed. Overall, Mighty Koba’s effortless collaboration with London manifests throughout “2 Many.” The song is just perfect for the club scene with an Afrobeat vibe that makes it inclusive across all cultures.

Frontman Mike Evans comments “There is a strong argument that the world we perceive and experience is a simulated reality. The track discusses the idea that when we are watching screens it takes away the pain and stress of modern society. By hypnotising the individual (plugging in) the Simulation takes us in, allowing us to fall away from physical reality into the digital mainframe.’ Television, gaming and smartphones, if used in moderation can be valuable. But in modern times this has become a dangerous and addictive drug. A Lot of my inspiration comes from Terrence McKenna’s conversations around the phenomenon of the technological singularity.”

‘Weary Old Highway’ by Jim Hurst (feat. Darin and Brooke Aldridge)

There’s a pastoral calm to the string play in the single “Weary Old Highway” that draws us back to a simpler time in the history of Americana, where the aesthetic was less an influence and more a force of culture all on its own.

URL: https://www.jimhurst.com/

Neither complicated by construction nor filled with any of the synthesized filler that has become increasingly common in mainstream country music over the past twenty years, “Weary Old Highway” brings together Jim Hurst with Darin and Brooke Aldridge for what feels like one of the more moving collaborative moments I’ve come in contact with this spring, at least out of this genre in particular. From the moment we get into the guts of the opening verses, there’s a markedly strong hesitance in the beat as if to suggest that this road the players are traveling down is one that will be beset with regret and growth the same. The lyrics add to this powerful suggestion, and although the imagery is quite vivid, I don’t think you can accuse anyone here of overthinking the concept. This is pure for sure, and it’s coming at the perfect time this year.

The arrangement in “Weary Old Highway” is pretty cut and dry, and I would even say that because of its black and white stylization we’re able to better appreciate the vocal skills that are working their way into the spotlight at one moment or another here. though I don’t think they needed to be as heavy on the front end, the strings here are profoundly delicate and give us the right kind of counterpart to the singing, which is delivered to us with a colorful panache that I wish I heard more of in this genre these days.

From one verse to the next, we cannot evade the harmonies that are filling in the edges in this single, which is probably the number one reason why I would describe “Weary Old Highway” as magnetizing no matter how in love with the country music scene you are (or aren’t). It’s highly melodic, and in an age filled with chiptune-driven hooks, it feels especially organic to put it quite mildly.

Between the surprising chemistry that Jim Hurst has with the Aldridges and the general sense of equilibrium that we find in the structure of this song, I would have to say that “Weary Old Highway” is a big win for these players, and likely something that’s going to bring both acts a lot of attention from the press on all sides of the dial this year.

This is unquestionably a hot moment for the Americana revival movement, and with Hurst’s significantly more relaxed pace in this performance, I think he’s making it clear that he’s aligning himself with the puritans of his scene far more than he is with anyone creating hybrid harmonies in the studio right now. This is old school and unabashedly so, which is what a lot of listeners have been demanding for the better part of the last few years.

NME said, “The pop outsider’s first release in six years feels like the beginning of an ambitious new era…Ferreira’s return serves as proof that exceptional things can come to those who wait.” Vulture noted, “‘Downhill Lullaby’ shares more in common with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds than Ferreira’s own earliest singles…It’s the voice of a woman who won’t take her suffering alone.” Pitchfork named “Downhill Lullaby” as one of the best songs of 2019 and praised it as “a five-and-a-half-minute, goth-noir, chamber pop piece – with strings – that could have easily closed an episode of the revived ‘Twin Peaks.’”

Ganser announces new EP ‘Nothing You Do Matters’, produced by Liars’ Angus Andrew, out Oct. 5th on Felte!

In the era of Ganser’s Just Look At That Sky delightfully descended on the world in July of 2020, I do admit that I mostly did find myself looking skyward, though that looking was often colored by an ever-present anxiety. My city was coming apart and maybe your city was coming apart too. Maybe atop the buildings of your downtowns there were guns, and men in fatigues. Maybe in front of the libraries, there were tanks, maybe in front of the food banks, there were army patrols. And yet, maybe you found an album or some tunes that reflected the times, which means both everything and nothing at all now, as time fractures into small, elastic shapes, some jagged, some joyful. An album of a moment must require malleability – songs that hold several songs within them.

MISS MAY I Releases “Bleed Together” Video Today – Curse of Existence Album drops September 2

“‘Bleed Together’ describes the connection a parent has with their child and the lengths they are willing to go to be there for them. It is a natural instinct for a parent to want to guard their child and for some that still seems to be something that was missing in their life. This song is from my perspective and an emotional follow up to our song ‘Hey Mister’ which describes the lack of a father figure around in one’s life.” – Levi Benton

New Video For Star2 “Big Bands” feat. $tupid Young

Star2 is a Thai-born, San Diego-based artist who is a proven storyteller through his dramatic life experiences. Since he was young, he’s been torn between two worlds: from escaping a refugee camp on the Thai/Myanmar border to finding his place in the money-based lifestyle of the United States. Even when it came to breaking into the rap industry, the creative had to constantly prove himself worthy as one of the few Asian-American artists on the scene. After multiple successful back-to-back hits like “Run Away,” “Thinkin Bout You,” and “Real Life,” the multi-dimensional artist has solidified his name amongst the next generation of artists ready to bring substance and lyrical intention back into the hip-hop game. Now, he is debuting his single “Big Bands,” from the Real Life EP, with rap icon and hero $tupid Young.

“Big Bands” is all about the come-up, grinding away day and night to finally see your dream come to fruition. On the track, Star2 collabs with noted gold-record, Long Beach rapper $tupid Young. Discussing the collab, he says, “$tupid Young reps the Asian community and paved the way for all Asian rappers in the industry.” Star2 has forged a unique sound that moves listeners to feel and relate to his life experiences. He’s paid his dues. He’s earned the right to flex his accomplishments by gaining a loyal fan base among his Ka-ren community and an international following now too. His breezy rap flows are layered over a fresh, bouncy beat that speak to his coming-of-age youth in the streets of City Heights, San Diego, his determined rise to success, and at times his sampling the finer aspects of life in Southern California. In true Star2 fashion, the music video is out-of-the-box and unique. Inspired by Grand Theft Auto and animated by Serbian artist Lubomir Atan, Star2 steps into his own version of the popular game rolling with $tupid Young as the two cruise in luxury through the virtual streets after they pull-off a bank heist – Star2 in the getaway car and $tupid Young as the robber – and then hit a strip club, where they make it rain with the money. The video captures the reckless fun of GTA that matches the high energy of the song.

Nick Phoenix Releases New Album

Nick Phoenix doesn’t have anything to prove. His ongoing work as one half of film music outfit Two Steps from Hell more than occupies his time, especially considering their pending European tour and status as the #1 streaming film music artist working today. Such lofty heights, however, haven’t dampened Phoenix’s desire to write and play songs with a band. His 2021 release King of One announced his return to writing songs for a band configuration and its follow-up, Wide World, improves on that fine debut in almost every meaningful respect.

WEBSITE: https://nickphoenix.com/

He doesn’t veer too far afield from the vision powering his film work. Several of the top-shelf cuts included on the album possess cinematic inclinations and the title cut/opener is among them. The mid-tempo pace for “Wide World” builds surprising energy as it develops, and Phoenix orchestrates its peaks to land in all the right places. The album’s second track “Rise Up” boasts much of the same orchestrated template we hear with the opener, but on an even grander scale than before. Phoenix goes to great pains constructing the proper mood, hushed at first, before transitioning into the first of the song’s dramatic zeniths.

“Always On” moves away from a cinematic atmosphere into scaled down intimacy. It has a light roots-rock roll present throughout the song and the piano expands the track’s rhythmic dimensions, but it nonetheless retains a quiet and unassuming mood. “Andromeda”, however, returns Phoenix and his listeners to the world of the second song. He opts for a longer build-up this time around though and also makes the crucial move of essentially breaking the track into three distinct “movements”. The guitar during the song’s final section is especially powerful.

Some may say Phoenix has a very systematic way of writing many songs. He works to a formula on several Wide World cuts, with variations, and another of its wide-screen moments arrives with the track “That Won’t Stand”. The addition of strings is an especially notable move for this recording and the resulting classical influence heard throughout the song underlines its art-pop sensibility. “Tumblin’ Down” brings the rock, albeit in a thoroughly modern fashion, and there’s biting lead guitar in the song’s second half that raises the track’s temperature.

DOWNLOAD: https://lnk.dmsmusic.co/nickphoenix_wideworld-1

“Row” is, arguably, the closest thing on the collection to an outright ballad. The duet between Phoenix’s voice and the piano is the heart of the song, but its surrounding adornments aren’t shallow gloss. Every track on the album carries emotional weight and never feels overwrought despite the obvious sonic ambitions on display. The finale “He Knows Enough” takes those ambitions to their pinnacle. It’s a track that unites Phoenix’s various strands into a single colorful thread. The second and final section of the track is its indisputable apex as Phoenix blends piano, crunching guitar, and emotional vocals as the crowning touches of the album’s greatest song. Wide World sets the bar higher than ever before for Nick Phoenix’s music, but there’s ample evidence of Phoenix possessing the necessary talents to soar even higher.

“I never intended to write a spoken word song, but this one just came out that way, so I went with it. “Fallin'” tells the story of falling in love while out on the road; it tells the story of closeness, distance, longing, and an eventual ending of falling back into loneliness.

PALE HORSEMAN Release New Song “Exile” Via Invisible Oranges

Chicago sludge lords PALE HORSEMAN are streaming their formidable new single “Exile” over at Invisible Oranges. Landing ahead of the split album shared with BUZZHERD, “Exile” brings an imposing atmosphere with a crushing sound.

“The song was written by Eric Ondo and he does lead vocals on that one. It was the first song we completed of the new batch of songs, and it’s been a band favorite ever since. It was written during and inspired by the lockdown phase of the COVID pandemic here in the Chicago area. Ultimately the lyrical content ended up being about multiple plagues that have wiped out large numbers of people over the centuries, and how mankind has responded to managing the spread of the plagues. It also touches on the level of care/lack of care given to the infected and dying individuals, including the disposal of the contaminated corpses.” – Andre Miguel Almaraz
