   London duo, Charlotte Spiral releases “All This Time, Asleep,” the title track of their up and coming third EP, following last year’s New Light release. Charlotte Spiral is formed by Amy Spencer and Avi Barath. The collaborating artists name stems from it's figure-skating locomotion origin.
   Speaking on the single, Amy shares: “‘All This Time, Asleep’ is based on an argument between myself and a loved one. I’m being rude and just saying whatever I like, feeling like a failure, spending so much time ‘looking for myself’ or trying to figure things out. Though while I’m doing this, I forget to think how they might be feeling, and to remember that we’re two people. Throughout the track, I wanted to describe the scene we were in: ‘trying on a new shirt’ was a metaphor used to portray that I want to try this new me out, but it might not fit. At the end of the song, I am lying in the shirt, fully ready to commit and be together. It does fit me…”

"All This Time, Asleep" is available on streaming services now.

    Faetooth is a four piece experimental metal outfit based in Los Angeles, California. The self coined "fairy-doom" band is made up of guitarists/vocalists Ash and Ari, bassist/vocalist Jenna Garcia, and their drummer Rah. Faetooth's members being long-time friends since their youth growing up within the Los Angeles music scene created a tight-knit bond expanding how they convey instrumentally. Basing their ever evolving sound around doom metal riffs, shoegaze-esque melodies, and perfected sludgy soundscapes. 
   Furthering their musical presence comes brand new single, Echolalia. The tune is held near and dear to the band, as it was the first song Faetooth composed after the release of their 2019 debut EP ... An Invocation - Echolalia displays the band’s adept ability to move from thundering to somber, a dynamic that is anchored by a simple, yet haunting riff. Choruses explode with fuzzy guitars and a hard grooving bassline, carried by the singular refrain: “On thy knees now / We fall with what we build” – a reflection on the lore of the Tower of Babylon. Concluding with a growling breakdown and eviscerating lead guitar, Faetooth officially introduces their exciting new chapter announcing their upcoming full length album Remnants of The Vessel out October 28th, 2022 (Dune Altar.)
   Echolalia's lyric visualizer was premiered by Metal Injection and is directed, filmed, and edited by their very own guitarist Ari (@filthywitch) - available for viewing below!

   Pascal Stevenson [Moaning, Girl Pool] recently shared debut album Scrutiny, under artist name Fashion Club. Scrutiny perfectly emits that post-punk atmosphere you've been waiting for; pulling together wavy synths, pungent bass-lines, and those classic post-punk drum tones featuring sonically resonant low-end vocals. 
   Stevenson opens up about the debut, “Scrutiny deals with a host of different themes — addiction, identity, morality, etc. It’s about change, wanting to be and feel different, and working from within to shift your reality into something more manageable. I think it’s easy to read it as a pretty bleak take on those themes, but ultimately I want people to come away from the record feeling hopeful and find some power to look within themselves in a really truthful way. And I hope that those that feel or have felt immense pain in their lives listen to these songs and maybe feel seen or understood in some small way.”

​   Sabriel (pronounced shä brē el) is a singer, songwriter and producer with a whimsical charm and courageous vulnerability. Soaked in serene sounds and alluring instrumentation, Sabriel meanders through life experiences, exploring her intangible wanderlust.
   Sabriel's new EP, "Pulse" is filled with songs you'd imagine to be playing during a high-fashion show in Paris. The songs maintain to perfectly encapsulate the nightclub vibe of the 2000's. With soft, panning vocals with drum & bass elements, her EP sends you into a mesmerizing, ambient dream. 
   Derived from chapters of Sabriel’s life, the EP represents her growth into real womanhood. With an unguarded approach to her music, the songs plunge into new and untouched territories, with a constant theme of fire throughout the EP. She expresses, “Fire will transform every single thing it comes into contact with. As mesmerizing and warm as it is, if you touch it, you will get burned. I love that. It’s beautiful, but demands respect.” Experiencing significant and painful change in her life, as expressed in “Pulse” and “Nervous”, she was left with an opportunity to decide what she wanted her life to actually look like, choosing to learn and grow despite all of the unknown that is still ahead of her.

   Los Angeles based and Baltimore-raised modern Pop-meets-vintage-Psychedelia artist mazie releases her latest single, “people don't change" - although she wrote the tune several years ago, when matched with the right hook from her producer Elie Rizk the song pieced together in just one day. When speaking about the song mazie shares, “Relationships and friendships are all about figuring out if you can co-exist within each other's flaws. By letting someone into your life, you are acknowledging that they are who they are for better or for worse — and you should be so precious about choosing who is in your life for that very reason.

   A sharp-witted commentary on the binary of being both the watcher and the watched in the digital world, "Busy Body" is an addictive listen, both thematically and musically. Drawing inspiration from the 1996 film The Cable Guy, the video reveals a playful yet poignant message about society's obsession with social surveillance. "For the 'Busy Body' video, the idea was to take the song's main theme surrounding compulsive surveillance to a literal and clear cut place while still keeping it fun and lighthearted through the story and style," Cassie shares.
   Slightly secretive and delicately feminine, every song she releases is a single intricate flower plucked from her consciousness and added to her verdurous display. Constantly exploring new musical and visual dimensions, Cassie has emerged as an avant-garde luminary in the left-of-center Pop space.

   "Goodbye to Heartache" is the most recent release by Los Angeles-born artist, Janelane. Front-woman Sophie Negrini's tender vocals lay gently on top of harmony-stacked instrumentals. The song takes you into a wonderful nostalgia of a warm summer spent with your friends. With the help of a Rhodes, Negrini tells the familiar story of trying to be strong despite getting her heart broken, singing with relatable uncertainty that she is "okay with dancing alone". While "Goodbye" is a musical departure from the proudly Pop-Punk "Celebrity Crush" (released March 2021 via Kingfisher Bluez), it reaffirms LA Weekly 's description of Negrini as a "witty songwriter with a gift for earworm melodies" and further elicits Negrini's range as an artist, hinting at what has yet to come.

   KiNG MALA is an alternative Soul artist based in Los Angeles. AKA Areli Castro, the El Paso born musician pens songs which touch on themes from lust, sexuality and badass femininity. Not afraid to spill her guts, the songwriter set out with the hopes to spark confidence in both herself and her listeners, creating music that will make you walk taller and speak louder. Both her music and visuals experiment with masculine tropes, sharing "There's something about taking something traditionally masculine and wearing it as a woman that makes me feel really powerful." These masculine threads weave throughout everything she does, hence King rather than Queen and "MALA" which roughly translates to "bad bitch" in Spanish. Sharing her feelings from the bottom of her heart KiNG MALA encourages you to dig deep and connect with your inner-self. Life is messy and we shouldn’t feel ashamed to show our emotions and speak our minds.
​   Following KiNG MALA's hit release, "she calls me daddy" - her latest is titled “mercy”. The song focuses on the juxtaposition between bad habits and remorse from old behavior when she was growing. Lyrically shedding light on battling mental illness while balancing hauntingly beautiful vocal melodies. She confides, “I have said things I will regret forever and every day I search for the good within me and search for the proof that those things are not who I really am. Sometimes all you can do is forgive yourself and look for the good... that's what this song means to me.”
   The music video for "mercy" is set to be premiered on youtube July 23rd at 6pm!

   Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and artist Natasha Pheko (BXB Love) — releases her new and extremely catchy Pop single, "Losers."
   Following the releases of BXB Love's first two singles, "matrix" & "IGNORANCE SONG" - “Losers,” LOVE invites the people of planet earth to cast off their masks, and take a good hard look at all the parts of themselves — the good, the bad and the ugly — with acceptance, love, and compassion. “’Losers’ is my claim that we are all really just losers trying to fit in,” LOVE says. “I believe, if we really committed to being who we are, and loving that unconditionally, we might all feel a little more free and a little less anxious about the potential perception of us that others may have.” Created with fellow songwriters and producers Jaime Estalella and Michele Canova, a mere few weeks before COVID-19 changed life as we know, “Losers” came together as a synchronistic dance of lyrics and sounds, entirely unrestricted by trends or genre limitations. “There was no goal or destination in mind, only a shared commitment to be in the present, in the process and following the joy, the excitement, and the inspiration,” LOVE writes.

   Hampshire (UK) Indie trio Drug Store Romeos have shared their new single "Secret Plan", taken from their upcoming debut album "The world within our bedrooms" - out 25 June via Fiction Records (preorder). The song emphasizes the lead singers  mesmerizing voice, thumping bass, twinkling synth melodies and beautiful change-ups.
   Drug Store Romeos formed in college nearby Farnborough when childhood friends Jonny and Charlie pinned an ad about finding a bassist for their new band to the school’s notice board - Sarah replied and quickly proved herself a better vocalist than either of them. Sharing affections for Suburban Lawns and Tom Tom Club, Drug Store Romeos cut their teeth playing live at college, Guildford Boiler Room and Aldershot West End Centre, rather than the familiarly trodden paths in London - although they did frequent the city as often as three times a week at one point; carrying all of their equipment back to Fleet by train as none of the band were old enough to drive. 
   While the band have since moved to London, by the time they came to record The world within our bedrooms, all three members were keen to hold onto that wide-eyed energy for as long as possible. Those 3am walks home from Fleet station, with amps and flight cases slung over their shoulders, would become a rite of passage; the quiet
countryside influencing their hushed atmospheric sound and nocturnal leanings, the tight bonds formed back home buoying their hypnotic and delicate blend of Dream Pop and synth-led explorations. ​
   Drug Store Romeos will play their biggest headline show to date at London’s Scala on 17 November – tickets are available now.

   binki has always been a performer at his core. Born to Kenyan immigrants in Pennsylvania, he grew up on a steady diet of his older siblings’ music preferences. But it wasn’t until studying to be an actor at UNC Greensboro that binki found himself gravitating toward music as a career.
   binki announces his debut EP - MOTOR FUNCTION - along with new single and video “Clay Pigeon,” binki explains, “Clay Pigeon is a song about vulnerability. A clay pigeon is someone I want to open up to me or invest time in, but I’m not willing to do the same. I wanna play along but I got no skin in the game. I was in a situation where I was more focused on my dreams than building a relationship. I think it happens to a lot people and I’m just trying to navigate those feelings in this song.”
   The song opens with an encapsulating bass line and features extremely catchy vocals. binki's music video for "Clay Pigeon" was directed by his brother, Justin Ongeri. The overall vision gets us excited for hanging out with our friends in the Summer (safely vaccinated!) after a long break of COVID-19 and has a wonderful vintage film mood.

   The Toronto native multi-instrumentalist and producer, Luna Li (Hannah Kim) has shared her new single "Alone But Not Lonely." The lush orchestral composition places Luna Li’s technical proficiency in the spotlight as she kicks the song off with a sweeping melody played on the violin before dropping into a smoldering funk groove with ethereal synth pads and vocal harmonies to boot. The song hits incredibly strong and resonates deeply with many genres. After her graceful and confident chants of instantly memorable self-assurance, the song crescendos into a massive guitar hook that rises and falls with beautiful simplicity and acts as the antidote to her loneliness. The stunningly creative music video, directed by Maya Balkaran & Kostadin Kolev, accompanies the song extremely well.
   "I wrote 'Alone But Not Lonely' in my very first apartment which was cockroach infested. I was feeling really uncomfortable and lonely in the new space, and decided to write this song to cheer myself up and entertain my newfound insect friends." Says Luna Li. “The phrase ‘Alone But Not Lonely’ is a mantra I use to remind myself that time I spend with myself is valuable and special, something that should be celebrated.”

   BXB LOVE, the nom de plume of Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and artist Natasha Pheko released her second single titled, "IGNORANCE SONG."
   Through genre-bending musical production, reflective lyricism, and multidisciplinary creative works, BXB LOVE captures the charm, discomfort, and introspection of being 20-something in the year 20-something. She steps outside the proverbial box, allowing her artistic expression to honestly reflect the world around her. By choosing a purposefully ambiguous and androgynous pseudonym, LOVE is able to explore the fluidity that is the human experience and liberate herself from the unspoken expectations placed on women of color in the music industry. Ready to breakdown personal, projected and perceived barriers, LOVE invites listeners to do the same.
   “IGNORANCE SONG” reflects LOVE’s ability to contain sonic and emotional multitudes within one song. Opening with the irrepressible chorus destined to be sung by future crowds, “IGNORANCE SONG” bursts into a bold, gritty Alt-Rock number that swells with infectious guitar, anthemic percussion, and hazy layered vocals. Lyrically and sonically, it’s an anthem that celebrates self-discovery and self-empowerment in a world that encourages us to define ourselves before fully understanding who we are and who we want to be.
“It’s about letting go of your perceived and projected identities, and realizing that we just ARE,” LOVE explains. “Life is a performance, and we can choose the labels and identities that we use to express our being, without being attached to them. We get to grow, evolve, change, shed. And there's really nothing to prove to anyone once you free yourself of the belief that you need to prove your worth, or validate/justify how you choose to express your being. It’s my anthem to a generation that is rewriting what identity means and the ways in which we choose to express that."
