Radio by Guest User

Sylvan Esso (singer Amelia Meath and producer Nick Sanborn) comes out with a new electronic indie drive called “Radio” that makes you close your eyes and lose yourself to the music from start to finish. The enticing truth to the lyrics and the feel good electronic beats make the song refreshing: one you’ll play on repeat throughout the day. With lines such as “now don't you look good sucking American dick” gives you an insight to how subtly in your face the lyrics are while pulsing beats lend a constant urgency to it all.

Don’t just take my word for it go and listen to how we’re all “slaves to the radio”. Make sure to keep an ear out for Sylvan Esso's sophomore album, to be released in 2017.

Dimensions by E

Computer Magic's "Dimensions" is a synthpop must-hear with its dreamy grooves, floating melodies, and thoughtful lyrics.

Charming with its relaxed but straightforward approach to a love song, "Dimensions" is hypnotically atmospheric, laden with lines like "falling, falling, falling for another daydream" and "life is short but love is long" in an enticing and quiet romanticism that we can't stop listening to.

Listen to "Dimensions" below, follow the links for more from Computer Magic, and look for her to release her Obscure but Visible EP October 7th on Channel 9 Records.

Wait Up by E

With a remarkably emotive production and beautifully said lyrics, Prinze George has the uncanny ability to make you fall in love like the first time with each listen while the eloquent yet no frills black and white shot video captures the lovely spirit of "Wait Up" with an hypnotic ease.

Heavy longing hangs over you like an ache while whispering synths and sturdy vocals carry out a careful but absolute love in an enchanting, entrancing yearning of thoughtful beats and vocal harmonies that will have you coming back again and again.

Simple but breathtaking, the song and video are one in the same, so get your copy of Illiterate Synth Pop, out now and worthy of many listens, and head to all those sites below to stay up to date with Prinze George.

Wilder In The Heart by E

Butch Walker's latest single release in anticipation of his upcoming album, Stay Gold (out August 26th on Lojinx), is a relentlessly nostalgic, gritty, down to the roots rock track; "Wilder In The Heart" is an honest look back at young love and all that growing up entails.

Don't mistake it as a simple love song though, Walker's penchant for narrative style writing with heavy nostalgia that easily dips from shared memories to vivid and unforgiving ego-centric views gives him an edge on other songwriters that's hard to beat and a production that is so steeped in desire and wanting warmth yet holds onto catchy hooks and memorable slides is hard to find.

As full of realism and unromanticized experience as the album itself, "Wilder In The Heart" and the upcoming Stay Gold is for anyone who appreciates truly great and authentic rock.
