Foxwarren - I'll Be Alright
Foxwarren - I'll Be Alright
Sounds like: Andy Shauf, Father John Misty, Elliot Smith, Michael Rault
By Andrew Aitchison on Feb 19, 2019 | Sometimes songs have a message in their lyrics, and sometimes those songs have messages which are really simple and sweet. This is one of those songs. I'm not sure that Foxwarren would appreciate being called "sweet". I guess not many rock and roll b... read more →

Sounds like: Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, Alvvays
Tags: Editor's Pick, indie rock, indie folk, feist
By Christiana Bartolini on Jan 28, 2018 | Haley Heynderickx's single, "Untitled God Song" is a softly cooed experimental indie folk gem. The melancholy atmosphere soaks the track as the vocals command your attention. The effected electric guitar leads the way as the drums softly shape and s... read more →

Harfang - Pleasure
Harfang - Pleasure
Sounds like: Bon Iver, James Vincent McMorrow, S. Carey
Tags: Editor's Pick, experimental, folk, indie folk
By Aaron Blum on Mar 31, 2017 | This is the type of artist that I really like to write about: bands that have just a handful of followers on SoundCloud (currently 85), so that you all can discover, too! The song "Pleasure" by Harfang came through my feed a few weeks ago, and took ... read more →

Jason Molina - Get Out Get Out Get Out (DM Stith Cover)
Sounds like: Sufjan Stevens, Thom Yorke, Low Roar
By Sam McLoughlin on Jan 2, 2016 | Aside from a few secretive guest appearances on recent albums by the likes of Son Lux, little has been heard the last few years from DM Stith, the haunting troubadour from Brooklyn who once toured along with Sufjan Stevens as opener and band mate. T... read more →

Remy Kay - Looking Out
Remy Kay - Looking Out
Sounds like: Mizan, Sade, Kimya Dawson
By sweeney kovar on Dec 16, 2015 | The minute I heard Remy Kay's velvet voice, I was struck. The Diamond Bar native has a presence much older than her years. Her debut EP, In The Mourning, goes for the jugular via the heart; it's a collection of musical moments made leading up to and... read more →

Lisa Salvo - Give Me Your Love
Sounds like: Joanna Newsom, Bjork, Julia Holter
By Lauren Ziegler on Nov 7, 2015 | Melbourne's Lisa Salvo is re-releasing her 2014 debut album next week -- so this isn't exactly the newest song, but as soon as I heard it, I knew I had to share it.  Salvo's melody feels eerie from the first note, almost uncomfortably intimate as it... read more →
