The cool Nacey-produced kinetic pop of “They All Say” is new from New York-based singer and Sammy Bananas collaborator Maggie Horn.
Melodic Swedes Hater follow on excellent tracks “Mental Haven” and “Had It All” in the form of “Cry Later”. From the first few notes of the song’s sort of brash arpeggiated guitar opening, “Cry Later” wields hook after hook after hook but somehow still feels cool and restrained despite that stickiness. Hater are for real. “Cry Later” is excerpted from Hater’s forthcoming debut LP You Tried for PNKSLM out March 10th.
Dream Beach’s latest track “The Kiss of a Century” (Feat. Cub) takes you on an emotional journey. Unlike the producer’s previous work, Dream Beach approached this track with more of a stripped down feel by creating a track that’s beautiful through it’s simplicities. “The Kiss of a Century” is giving me all the feels. Listen and see for yourself.
