Premiere: KAZIMI is aflame with desire on ‘Fever Dream’
In a world where the typical route for an artist includes introductory singles and EPs en route to a debut album, it’s much less common for someone to make an album before stepping into the spotlight, but that’s exactly what New Yorker KAZIMI has done, in spite of herself. “I never sat down to make …
Premiere: Alaskan duo maeve & quinn announce debut album for September, share ‘Jeweler’s Row’
It’s been a little bit since we’ve heard from twin sisters Maris and Bryce O’Tierney, otherwise known as maeve & quinn, but they’ve been busy. It’s coming up on two years since the Anchorage-based pair last released something, namely the Star-Crossed EP, but until now we’ve only been offered glimpses of what they were capable …
Premiere: hunter & wolfe toast their ‘Famous Friends’ as they prep first album in almost a decade
It’s been quite a while since we’ve last heard from Brooklyn duo hunter & wolfe; longer still since they’ve put out a full-length album. With the impact of the pandemic on artists in general, it’s a relief to see they’re still kicking. Almost six whole years ago they released the Late Then Never EP, itself …
Premiere: Michael Ian Cummings of SKATERS returns with ‘Contemporary Me’
If you were a fan of New Yorkers SKATERS, you’ll probably remember that they went from a major label deal to disappearing after the release of their second album within 5 years, chewed up and spat out during a transitional period for the wider music industry. Band leader Michael Ian Cummings has been off radar …
Premiere: The Mortal Prophets return with title track from new album ‘Deeley Plaza Blues’
Toward the end of last year, the John Beckmann-fronted New York band The Mortal Prophets released their debut album Me and the Devil, and you would have expected them to slow down a little bit after that but that isn’t the case at all. Just a month later, Beckmann released a solo piano record, which …
Premiere: Homeschool trails new EP with self-acceptance banger ‘My Only Enemy’
You may remember back in February when we premiered New Yorker Tom D’Agustino’s most recent single as Homeschool, ‘Bound to Be’. At the time, all we could say was there was more to come from them this year, with no indication of what form that might take. Well, it turns out there’s a new EP …
Premiere: Rose Haze stun with the epic sweep of ‘Slow Decay’
If you haven’t heard of Kate Ramsey before, you’ve got plenty to catch up on, but her new song as Rose Haze is a good place to start. In just the last year, she’s released both a full-band album called Maximum Security Prism and an atmospheric instrumental counterpart called Contemplations in the Desert. If you’re …
Premiere: Sunnsetter shares ‘The Whole World That Turns Around Itself’ with new album out today
The new record from Andrew McLeod has this hazy, perfectly timed early-springtime air about it. One part shoegaze and one part ambience, it’s all them. The Norfolk County, Ontario-based artist is also part of Zoon, but under his solo guise Sunnsetter makes music that’s a little more wistful, surprisingly meditative and prone to exploration. ‘The …
Premiere: Cary LaScala is ‘For Real’ a Solo Artist Now, Shares Debut as Bloody Bananas
You probably shouldn’t eat Bloody Bananas. Or beetroots for that matter. However, Cary LaScala’s needed a little extra time for his solo career under that name to ripen and now it’s ready to be picked. We’re all out of fruit metaphors so that means we can move on to the music. A Bay Area transplant, …
Premiere: Matteo DeBenedetti has trust issues on ‘sleeping’; debut album as Charlie & Margot out next month
Here’s another album for you to keep an ear out for next month: the debut album from New Jersey’s Charlie & Margot. The project is not made up of two people, it’s important to note; it’s a solo project from Matteo DeBenedetti, named after the two dogs belonging to him and his wife. A very …
