Mother Tongues - Worm Day [Video]

“Worm Day” is about “compulsive, incessant thoughts that tunnel their way into our brains,” but if you take a hint from the music and the video, those thoughts are more nostalgic than unpleasant. The new dream-pop track by Toronto duo Mother Tongues is a perfect song to revel in summer

Hemlocke Springs - Sever the Blight

Whatever you expect, this song is not it. First, there is the title that never appears in the lyrics, and then there are plenties of 80s synth-pop references, refreshed with an EDM-style production. Still, “Sever the Blight” sounds familiar and, simultaneously, unlike everything else you have heard in a long

Christina Martin – Little Princess When I first watched Christina Martin‘s music video for her new single “Little Princess,” then I simply loved the song and the visuals.
