An Aria /  by E

Ninetails released the second single from their forthcoming EP, Quiet Confidence, and it is just as hypnotic as the EP's first single, "Radiant Hex".

The track undulates at a steady pace as a solid rhythm sits in contrast to a fluid melody while a wandering piano and solid guitar riffs add a fun twist to the dreamy track and lines like "if you want it, be the first to take it, and if you need it, you're gonna have to fight to get it" are softly doled out over the EP's recurring vocal motif (first featured in "Radiant Hex").

Get the EP when it's released March 10, because every track is just as gorgeously put together as this one.

Like Always /  by E

Richard Tyler Epperson gives listeners a modern take on the folk genre with his track "Like Always". The track features a steady rhythm, insistent piano melody, and solid folk chords supported by just enough of an electronic presence that it keeps it interesting and makes it undeniably catchy. 

The music is gorgeous and lyrics which state "'cause dreams they are only what you make of them, so why don't you stop your lies, there ain't no need to pretend, that you're alive" and "like a man ridden with his shame, I feel I'll never ever be the same, oh like always, I'll always be insane" will leave you wanting to listen to the track on repeat so pre-order the forthcoming album, Hourglass, from Bandcamp now and get an immediate download of his first album, Falling Between the Stars, so that you can keep listening to great tracks like this one.

The Griswolds' most recent video features animated cameos from current popular artists plus cute throwbacks to everything nostalgia-inducing from your childhood, making it just as sweet and steady as the song itself. 

The melody's sweet, if hesitant at first, and the soft rhythm keeps the song moving forward towards its all too soon finish, all the while maintaining a signature sound The Griswolds have perfected which feels just like hanging out at the beach.

All The Way /  by E

Timeflies released their latest music video for single "All The Way" from their debut full length album, After Hours, due for release April 29. 

The video features athletes, Anastasia Ashley, Scotty Stephens, and Mark Reininga and stays just as upbeat and energetic as the song itself. 

Lyrics "first time I saw you I knew right away, made up my mind you would be mine someday", "I know you hold back but just let it go, 'cause I just won't stand to watch you walk alone", and a chorus which states "when I love someone, I'm loving all the way, you know I'm the one to take you all the way" are adorable and fall perfectly in line with a beat which is far too addictive to not get caught up in and a melody that will be circling your head all week.
