Simon Alexander - lemon trees

Sweden’s Simon Alexander creates beautiful folk songs with depth that you can dream to. Simons’ latest offering is a three-song EP Telefunken By Night Vol 1, which invites you to listen to from “sing” over “lemon trees” to “feast on my heart,” which comes with some really cool whistling and quite the Jeff Buckley vibe. I decided on “lemon trees” as our glamglarepick because I can never say ‘no’ to engaging guitar strumming and a lovely song title. In addition, Simon’s vocals might be at their most gorgeous on that track. Asked about “Telefunken By Night Vol 1,” Simon says:

“This EP is a first taste of my upcoming acoustic album, aptly named Telefunken by Night, which is coming later this year. The entire album has been made in my home and have come together piece by piece over the latest year. As a whole it tells an intimate journey, a deep-dive into my own thoughts and emotions during a long night of introspection, and the full story will unravel as all the sequent volumes are released.”

I look forward to enjoying the other installments whenever they’re ready! Listen to “lemon trees,” our Song Pick of the Day:

Dawn Cadence, the musical alter-ego of Canadian singer, songwriter, and producer Vanessa Richardson, makes dark, experimental pop music in the veins of early FKA twigs (who has found back to her old form with her latest offering). Her latest song, “holywater,” is a tight, restrained piece, building up to a

Skateland - Sunset Cinema

Skateland is the moniker of Austin, TX-based singer, songwriter, and producer Dorian Williams Jr., and his latest beautiful single, "Sunset Cinema," comes with a compelling music video. The song features a laid-back, hazy vibe, supporting Dorian's lyrics when he sings, "I can see you in

Kissed by the Moon

Was the music scene better in New York City twenty years ago? This is a question we can ask ourselves directly because when we immigrated to the United States in April 2001, we lived on the Lower East Side, and “indie sleaze” was happening right there in our neighborhood. In
