Overjoy would never dole out more than they could take; on “Same,” they scrutinize your path to finding your identity, all the while running alongside you in search of their own. Source: SoundCloud / ONE / HALF Continue reading

YIP YOPS preach about an omniscient ‘She’ on new single
Originally appeared on the 405, view archived article here. Just because they have X’s on their hands at the gig, doesn’t mean they’re anything less than rock stars. The teenagers of YIP YOPS (one is technically 20, but still underage in America) have built a name for themselves by playing live shows around the city; their boisterous synth pop tastes that much sweeter when performed … Continue reading YIP YOPS preach about an omniscient ‘She’ on new single
iheartmoosiq: Since I’m not a very religious person, my experience with holy water is rather limited, or more like, non-existent. I have a feeling Tanners’ Holy Water is much more a ravishing and pleasant experience, spirituality aside. The New York City based songwriting and production act (Tanner Peterson) drenches us with seductive psych-pop and steamy plush synthpop on the luscious smoldering, opulent rippling song. Known … Continue reading

Part bird-watching anthem, part despondent bedroom pop jam, the latest cut from Pizzagirl is simply put, a delight. The Liverpool-based musician is a one-man operation, with 19-year-old Liam Brown handling all the production and press photos taken by his mum (and credited to pizzamum). Without anyone to … Continue reading

YACHT and French Vanilla Celebrate a Triumphant Return Home at the Lodge Room
Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by House of Vivian. Evans has been the de facto lead singer ever since she joined the band, so she commanded a majority of the stage, while Bechtolt and Kieswetter typically stuck to their places behind their machines–computers, synths, and guitars–in the center-back. They played everything off their recent Strawberry Moon EP, and several other tracks … Continue reading YACHT and French Vanilla Celebrate a Triumphant Return Home at the Lodge Room
