Always ones to push the boundaries of what's expected in pop, Beginners' "I Fucking Hate You" is laced with rock riffs and light feedback over prominent beats and a clean production. Hand claps, catchy riffs, a wonderfully minimalistic vocal bridge, and the absolute promise to 'get even' have us playing this one on repeat.
Check out the single below and grab your copy of the group's sophomore EP, Pleaser, out now, because there's not a single song off the record we wouldn't deem a must-hear.
Absolute indie, Bridges and Powerlines title track "National Fantasy" is a dreamily imperfect mix of hypnotic riffs, enchanting melodies, and soft group vocals that descends from a pretty and unassuming beginning to a rushed and uncertain end.
Listen to the single below and look for National Fantasy to be released October 7th.
Samm Henshaw has this steadfast ability to create songs you know you'll remember, a quality played out in force on his latest video single, "Night Calls", off his last EP, The Sound Experiment II, out now.
Beautiful, lucid riffs, dreamy lyrics, and an emotional, resounding vocal bridge determined to catch your ear and make you fall, Samm Henshaw's "Night Calls" is a spellbinding mix of homage paid to the classics with a clean, modern twist; respecting the vulnerable guitar work as much as it highlights the vocal and lyrical aspects that make the track so irresistible.

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.
