Given Names - East To West by E

Given Names delivers a fresh take on electronic music with "East To West". Infused with beats so delicate you can almost picture them tiptoeing beneath the full, wanting melody and story-like lyrics calling forth stark illustrations, it's a delightfully dark track that will have you coming back for more.

Earnest and just downright pretty - even as it breaks out in a frantic rush before coming back down - "East To West" demands to be heard, so check it out below and head to all those sites for more from Given Names.

Stav G - My Sheltered Room by E

Stav G's psychedelic new single "My Sheltered Room" was inspired by her recent move to New York City and the fuzzy, warm riffs that surround angry, venom-laced lyrics give the track its hypnotic feel.

An attack on war and ego clashes against calls for coexistence and open dialogue in Stav G's dizzy and scathing single which evokes all the feeling of building rage at news and headlines while safely hidden behind your four walls.

Fruition - Northern Town by E

Fruition's second single off their forthcoming album Watching It All Fall Apart is a melancholy surrender to hope. It's never grandiose, solidly maintaining its folk roots, but "Northern Town" grows with the subtle strength and quiet force of all that remains the same with those you love as everything around you changes.

Listen to the single before, find the band on tour this year, and look for the album to be released February 2nd via LoHi Records.
