Premiere: The Afro Nick races the clock in ‘Get There Before Noon’
We’ve all been there: we’re racing against time to do something or go somewhere and struggling to motivate ourselves. Without wanting to make the obvious reference, sometimes you really need to just get it done. Nick Anastasakis wrote a song about that sense of urgency. The Greece-born and LA-based musician, who records as The Afro …
Premiere: Chiara Angelicola covers Aimee Mann’s ‘Save Me’, new EP out today
Back in August, we indicated there was further new music to come from the Guatemalan-Italian Chiara Angelicola, who hadn’t released anything as Bird Call since the pandemic outbreak put the skids on touring for her previous record, late 2019’s Year of the Dogfish. She broke her silence with ‘Tiny Transistor’, and today returns in earnest …

Premiere: Chiara Angelicola returns as Bird Call with the quietly devastating ‘Tiny Transistor’
We all coped differently at the start of the pandemic in March 2020.

Premiere: Cara Potiker shares dazzling new moondaddy song ‘Water Bearer’
San Diego’s Cara Potiker helms moondaddy, a six-strong project who made their debut last year with Poet Lies – a little over a year later, Potiker is planning to follow up that debut album with a more bite-size release that’s no less impressive, taking off today with a refreshingly old-school six-minute lead single.

Premiere: Frank Viele ponders ‘The Trouble With Desire’ and shares ‘Lo-Fi Goodbye’
New Englander Frank Viele has a new album coming – that shouldn’t be a surprise considering his tireless work ethic.

His most recent one is the excellent ‘Lo-Fi Goodbye’, …
