By Like floating in a private galaxy where sparks fly over cotton pink skies, Clouds is an exotic escape into simplistic beauty and stillness. From her apartment in Iceland, watching the sunset over the ‘shadow district’, GHOSTGIRL was inspired to write this ‘little love song to the sky’. Let her cast her spell and take you on an adventure through a sci-fi-like tale of beauty and serenity.
TRACK: Neighborhood – Evangeline
There’s something about a dark and brooding tune coupled with the imagery of a twisted fairy tale that deeply intrigues us. But it’s Evangeline’s gentle voice of vulnerability that has us so enamoured. Her single Neighborhood tells a story of fragility and highlights the wounds we carry from trying to fit in.
TRACK: Breathe In, Breathe Out – Ben Gillies
Breathe In, Breathe Out is the debut solo track for Silverchair drummer, Ben Gillies. Stepping out from behind his kit to show off his multi-instrumental abilities, this meditative melody delivers an exquisite sneak peek for what’s to come from Ben’s solo pursuits.
TRACK: Heatwave – Cobra Man
Whether you’re hitting the skatepark or rollerblading on the boardwalk, the dreamy-pop mood of Cobra Man’s latest track will have you seeing the world through a sparkly 80s filter (and longing desperately for a summer full of freedom).
TRACK: Lobotomy – Congrats
Conceptually edgy, darkly sarcastic, and mysteriously deadpan. The latest offering from Congrats keeps pushing the boundaries of pop-punk to heal our malaise, helping us find the humour in our hellish heartaches.
TRACK: Lemonade – Friendless
Well, shit. We forgot what fun was until Friendless just reminded us. Making the best out of a bad situation is one thing, but Lemonade has us clawing at the doors of lockdown to get out and get freakin’ wild. After all, when life gives you lemons…
TRACK: Bad Thoughts – Megnha
Like a dream turned nightmare, Bad Thoughts is a musically enchanting gateway down a road of dark reflection. It’s the mirror that none of us want to look into, that shows us an alluring facade tainted by negative motivation. Meghna has shone a blinding light on the selfish devil on our shoulder that we pretend is never there.
TRACK: Brilliant Blue – Agnes Manners
Ahead of the release of their debut record Fantasia Famish this Friday, we’re taking a moment to celebrate Agnes Manners’ exquisitely heartbreaking single Brilliant Blue. In a few beautiful minutes, it will hurt you and heal you, proving that confronting our deepest fears and biggest regrets can be a dark path forward, but a path forward nonetheless.
TRACK: Agreeable – Cautious Clay
Cautious Clay has arrived with the first delectable taste of his upcoming debut album. With honeyed vocals and a seamless production, there’s a melodic lightness to Agreeable that hides a murkier tale of compromise.
TRACK: Work For Me – Mia Wray
This song may be one of the best modern tributes to the genres that paved the way for music as we know it today. After years of soul-searching, Mia Wray has taken the bull by the horns, honing in on her sound and creating her own narrative. The result is a captivating track that showcases the best of gospel, soul, jazz, and Celtic folk – but with a little added oomph to get you out of your seat and moving.
