mUmbo has released their new single titled 'Don't Even Mind The Rain'. Subtle with a hook yet powerful in that musical stance and layered instrumentation under an angelic vocal track, 'Don't Even Mind The Rain' is one of those songs that grow on you over time. The kind you miss when it's not there to quench your thirst. The kind you listen to parts of over and over again and wonder how everything was so nicely pieced together.

Satin Jackets has today released the new single titled 'First Thing' featuring Tailor from the double LP 'Reunion', dropping August 26th via Eskimo Recordings.

That feeling of justified confidence spitting from the speakers into your mind via your ears pumps your internal rhythm and gives you the means to carry on.

Imaad Wasif has today released his new album titled 'So Long Mr. Fear' via Sonic Ritual. A product of the pandemic and the isolation brought on to all of us, we get an overall sense of clarity and recognition with that first listen. Recognition that we were not the only one. And, within that, we can hear a bit of ourselves in each track. The best musicians take the world around them and set that to music. Imaad has done that brilliantly. He conveys what we are and what we went through in a broad and multi-genre way.

The A.M.s have today released their new single titled 'Ignite The Sky'. Deep alt-folk with substance is what I hear when I press play. Best to listen to this track while in a state of transition.

My Brothers And I have today premiered their new single, which is an acoustic version of their song 'Anger & Grace'. A more intimate version for a closer setting, the song isn't given a new life so much aas a different life. A reimage, in a sense. The acoustic version really shows the dynamic and soul of the song while it also showcases the vocals and lets the true talent of each band member shine in ways you may never have known had you just heard the original version. That original version, however, is a gem in it's own right. Think bookends of genius.
