[PREMIERE] Caicos – “Washed Up” Video

When I listen to a new song, I try and pay attention to the things it makes me want to do. And usually my favorite new songs make me want to do a variety of things, some of which might seem contradictory. For instance, “Washed Up” makes me want to lounge lazily in a grassy […]

FOX GRIN – “Memoria” // Art: Linda Brownlee

Visual art above by Linda Brownlee [via] With plenty of soft 80’s arpeggiated synths and airy vocals, light as a summer breeze, “Memoria” is (appropriately) steeped in nostalgia.

The verses call to mind the left-field production style of Baths, while the choruses launch into grand pop sheen. I’ve found […]
