“Sad Boy” is the debut track online for songwriter Gabriel Black. The spare “Sad Boy” spins about a lone electric guitar grind with lo-fi drums and occasional additional vocal tracks to beef up the song’s more dynamic moments. It’s a great first track. Listen to “Sad Boy” below.
With gestures at other fellow Sweedish artists like Neiked and Zara Larsson, “Out Of Love” by INDIIA is a sharp pop track that’s just what I needed to hear today. It’s groovy, expansive, and surprising. “Out Of Love” is INDIIA’s first track released on Soundcloud, so I’m definitely look forward for more from this duo.
We’re into “Sweetness” the first track from L.A. artist Jaja Bu. A cool blend of late hours R&B production swerves and a slick bit of neatly phrased melodic lines, “Sweetness” is a strong debut.
The great Cathedrals are back with new music in the form of expansive, hooky, midtempo track “With You”. “With You” follows on from “Try to Fight” released earlier this year, and the two tracks are Cathedrals’ first new music since the release of their s/t EP in 2015. We dig “With You” and you can dig it too below.
UK singer SASHA authors one of the best forward-thinking pop tracks of the year thusfar with the stylistically varied “Picking Flowers”. Intimate and magnetic like a great acoustic guitar-driven song but shined up and arranged in a way where wide radio accessibility is possible, “Picking Flowers” accomplishes this intimacy and accessibility without being tired or obvious about either. Great song.
We chatted with rising Liverpool band Her’s in the rain after their successful Great Escape set in front of a smiling capacity crowd. We talk about their animated live shows, the influences behind their inventive sounds, bands they’d love to tour with, and more.
“Glad You Stayed” is the debut track from London-based artist Lunar. The piano-driven midtempo number does well to show off Lunar’s potent alto and melodic choices all the while set about a circadian-type groove that will draw you into the track immediately. Stream the B3 Premiere of “Glad You Stayed” from Lunar below.
KAMI, a SaveMoney affiliate out of Chicago, is an artist whose sound is reminiscent of 80’s atmospheres. On the song listed above, “Foundation”, KAMI’s passionate flow comes alive in the lyrically driven track. KAMI’s debut album, Just Like the Movies, has a unique synthesizer driven sound that creates a hypnotic vibe. Also pay attention to the SaveMoney anthem, “Just Like the Movies”, featuring the entire SaveMoney group.
Reverb-heavy weirdo pop is one of our most favorite genres out (we hope it’s one of yours too), a new entrant to the genre is Yellow Days and the stream for “So Terrified of Your Own Mind” from the Surrey UK artist’s s/t debut EP. Get into it.
Sydney AU duo Noire debut on B3SCI with the cooled out and spacious dream pop of “Real Cool”.
Future bass DJ DROELOE’s latest track “JUMP” (ft. Nevve) has something special about it that I just can’t exactly pin-point, but in a good way. Basically, it’s the essence of the song, the all encompassing vibe of it that really reels you in. The mature melding of layers of innovative sounds that build atop each other without becoming overpowering to the others is a craft that DROELOE has honed in and mastered. Check it out.
