While “Eye Of The Storm” is ultra-gorgeous in its own rights, with its sophisticated rhythm mix, the soothing vocals and its overall mesmerizing vibe, no other than Radiohead come to mind when listening this new single by Jersey-shore quartet Modern Crowds. Yet that comparison is nothing but a good thing, if[…]
Elle Exxe live at Tellers in Austin for SXSW 2017
Our Song Pick of the Day, “Stranger Body” is about adapting to internal changes and it is wrapped into a soulful track that is driven forward by decidedly acoustic beat until it culminates in a furious saxophone solo. Quebec-based singer Amelie No has been more in the rock music scene[…]
The Woman with No Head is a French guitarist, who experiments with alternate tuning and electronics to create ethereal soundscapes. Her latest release “Unearthed” takes you onto a journey into space with unknown destination. Put it on headphones and drift away with the music.
“Every Teardrop” is a beautifully fresh flashback when synth-pop was all the rage, with its crazy-cool beats and overall irresistible catchiness. Munich-based duo Aggressive Swans are onto something with “Every Teardrop” which could as easily have been created in Los Angeles, London or New York. Granted, I am especially excited[…]
Age are the London-based duo of Gavin Dwight and Jen Cosgrave who released with “Peaks” a wonderfully relaxed and melodic debut single. The song is about “people around us crossing over the line of what’s safe and not taking care of themselves”, something that happens a lot in a time[…]
Brooklyn-based musician Maya Lazaro goes with “Nothing” but love into this summer. For whom we don’t know as she dances mostly alone through the backyards and rooftops of the city, but she radiates so much joy that I’m sure that her sweetheart is not far away. “Nothing” is an unabashedly[…]
Don’t judge a book by its cover or a song by its title but “View From Blue” – got me at, well exactly that. While listening to the guitar heavy track for the very first time (hard to remember now after countless repeats), I remember that beautifully warm and fuzzy[…]
Parisian duo Sacre does French synth pop. Clearly: Vintage-sounding synths and heavy vocal processing, all check. But it (almost) always works well together for a pleasant and rousing listening experience and “Forever Young” is no exception. Listen to our Song Pick of the Day now:
There is something remarkable to the way Michelle Birsky, singer and songwriter in the Brooklyn duo Birch delivers the songs on their latest EP “Not Human”: the four tracks feature bright, soaring vocals and synths, yet the lyrics speak of disorientation and social dysfunction. That increases the the impact of[…]
Sera Eke is a new artist from London and we have covered her debut song “Space Between Us” as our Song Pick two weeks ago. Now she complements the track with a completely self-produced video, which adds a gripping, sad story to the already dramatic music. Even though it is[…]
When I came across Charlie Johns recently, I totally liked what I was listening to, looked at the band photos, listened a bit more and scheduled a 3 Is A Band feature since this band is not only comprised of Charlie Johns (singer, songwriter) but also Daniel Foster (bass) and Kieron[…]
“Is This Ready” is a beautifully dark and hypnotic track, with heavy electronic beats and suspenseful, deep vocals alternating with soothingly bright ones. In short, the new single by Dublin-dwelling three-piece Sleep Thieves is as stunning as it is irresistible, holding the perfect balance of push and pull. Sleep Thieves[…]
We recently moved to the New York borough of Queens, so alone from that perspective “Queens” resonates with me. Of course, this is not at all what London-based singer Tawiah has in mind with her latest song, which features a piano, a Spanish guitar and polyrhythms. There is a lot[…]
