SONG PICK: Pavan – My Optical Best

A few sounds express ‘spring’ and ‘nature’ better than the chirping of birds and one must be quite the curmudgeon to not feel an instant mood boost by this kind of noise. Add a heartbeat inspired rhythm and exquisitely bright vocals to it, introduce other kinds of sound to it[…]

SONG PICK: NUEX – Eyes

Camille and Teddy, two artists from DC, came together through their shared love for music and – naturally – ended up forming a band, NUEX. „Eyes“ is their second single off their upcoming EP „Affectus“, an elevating electro pop piece with decisively dark undertones. „I got eyes on you… nothing[…]

SONG PICK: Yip Yops – She

It would be easy to dismiss “She” as ‘yet another pop rock song’ by lending the track solely a few seconds of attention because what unravels is truly extraordinary! Los Angeles-based quartet  Yip Yops allows them themselves to not only be creative musically but also to play with expectations. The listener[…]
