Visual art above by César Pelizer [via] It’s time to pack away your coats and scarves, because ELOHIM has released her new album and it contains this undeniable summertime jam. From the surf guitar to the mariachi brass, if you aren’t poolside when this song comes on, you’ll want to be. Just don’t slip as […]

Visual art above by Lisa Lloyd [via] “First Time” is a straight-forward song – light guitar chugs follow the constant bass and simple drum pattern – but the lack of complicated instrumentation leaves lots of space for the earnest voice and the big payoff of the chorus. It’s the rare pop song that feels familiar […]

Visual art above by Hedvig Jenning [via] With a beginning that could have been written by Sigur Rós, a middle that could be a Warpaint song, and a ripping finale that sounds indebted to Jack White, Erki Pärnoja covers a lot of ground in “Leva”. But despite these three very different musical touchpoints, the song […]

The song doesn’t so much play as it floats, buoyed along by bottomless synths, airy guitar passages, and […]

Visual art above by Julian Glander [via] This remix of TBE favorite “The Overlook” starts off faithful to the original, but the DJ flips, re-pitching, and new parts grow as you make your way through, leaning more fully into the trip-hop elements present in the original and giving it an attitude that was missing before. […]

Visual art above by Fredrik Lerneryd [via] Updating the placid finger plucked guitar to cosmic bell synths and Jose Gonzalez’s police voice to the precise vocals of Alexis Marsh, DYAN’s cover of “Cycling Trivialities” is elegant and considered. Despite the challenge of the song resting on the same chords for most of its duration, DYAN […]

Visual art above by Stephanie Chefas [via] Built on funky guitar & bass lines that develop over the course of the song, “Feelin’ Left Out” is a song for subway rides by yourself, maybe after having had one too many beers, but definitely while glowering at your feet while trying to figure out where it […]
