Whether you take it in as a sunshine-drenched pop gem, a break-up anthem, or 80’s nostalgia to tide you over until the new season of Stranger Things, a new Noble Oak track is cause for celebration. That’s why we’re thrilled to premiere the producer’s latest track “Out There” and announce his upcoming sophomore album, Collapsing Together. Unabashedly tender and ballad-esque, “Out There” underpins its shimmering piano melodies with massive drums and the sexiest soprano sax this side of “Baker Street“. It risks becoming too melodramatic to take seriously, but the despondent lyrics give it a believable emotional core: “I’m not ready for love/I’m not ready for anything”. Hopefully we’ll be ready for the rest of the album, to be released August 2017.

That’s not venom rushing through your veins – it’s the infectious rhythm of a new song from Wages. The lead guitar’s got fangs, but it scales back during the verses for a dynamic tune that slithers right into your heart. Snake puns!

Private Island – “Turbulence” // Uriginal
/0 Comments/in Tracks /by Jason AdamsVisual art above by Uriginal [via]
Private Island gives you a lot to believe in on their new song about the disillusionment of a toxic relationship. “Turbulence” is a hazy yet determined march, punctuated by ethereal keys and guitar chords, and rooted by deeeeeeeeep bass with groove to spare. Like that slightly intoxicated moment when you realize that you’re in over your head, Private Island’s newest sweeps you up in its eddies until the drum beat fades out.
For another bump of Private Island, check out “Drugs” on VINYL MOON Volume 013: Meanwhile…

Only Girl – “HEIGHTS” // Juan Miguel Palacios

Only Girl sings “I can only reach those heights with you,” but based on her vocal range in this song, I’m not sure I believe her. She seems to be doing remarkably well on her own. That being said, I’m sure she could be a part of one hell of a duet…

Vilde – “Fully Fledged” // Prudence Flint

Vilde is back with another great song whose silky synths belie anxious, nihilist lyrics. As always, his masterful, small details give an otherwise straightforward track more than enough dimension to delve into. Vilde gets better with each listen. How about an album already, hmm?
