Psychic Shakes, the solo project of Brighton-based artist Max McLellnm, knows how to mesmerize listeners with the help of hooks that are an enchanting blend of dreamy meets edgy.

“This is what it feels like to be free.” In her latest song “THRIVE” Singer, songwriter and producer Emma Shaw aka emzae encourages you to shake free from the expectations of others and go your own way.

At glamglare, we have been fans of the music and live performances of British/Icelandic band Dream Wife ever since we saw them live during Iceland Airwaves 2016. They just released their excellent second full-length album (listen here) and while most tracks explode with energy, the closing track “After The Rain” strikes a different note.

Austin-based psych-rockers The Cuckoos continue to release singles and videos simultaneously, with their new “So Real, So Surreal”.

We probably all need a holiday from solving problems, bad news and general stress. In her latest song “Holiday” Mïrändä proposes taking some time off to fix a relationship, but in the end she leaves us doubtful if this is going to work. “Maybe we don’t need to talk at all,” she sings and that rather points to an attempt to simply gloss over real issues.
