Andy Shauf • Judy / Jeremy's Wedding • 2020
It was so nice I thought the bridesmaids looked beautiful Jeremy’s suit was a little stiff but that’s how it goes, Judy Why didn’t you come say hello in the receiving line? I think he would have liked to have said hi Oh you look so nice, Judy Part of me misses you almost all of the time You say “Out of sight, out of mind” Oh, I disagree Judy Smoke a joint on the side stairs, it is so nice You ask me if I wanna dance Oh it makes me laugh, Judy Skip a step Land on your toe, you make a face You forgot that I’m so bad at this and I’m so stoned And it makes me laugh, is it all okay Judy? And it makes you laugh, is it all okay Judy?
Boosegumps • 5 Demos • 2020
These 5 songs are considered demos but Heeyoon's beautiful and delicate songwriting shines through like a beacon of hope and light. "Perfect Autumn Day" is a sure standout and could possibly be mistaken for a lost track by The Softies. A meandering, melodic lead guitar line floats atop of the rhythmic guitar strums while two layered, harmonizing vocal tracks beautifully detail, well, a perfect autumn day. Each song is a cozy portait of an intimate scene, vivid and comforting in a time when we need tenderness and connection more than ever.
John K. Samson • Fantasy Baseball At The End Of The World • 2020
I manage my fantasy baseball team better than I manage my anger these days, and I’d trade my best pitcher for a draft-pick and picture of the president writhing in pain. It’s a weird thing to wish for but I can’t stop wishing, refreshing the browser, someday if I live long enough and the world doesn’t end my wish will come true, in a way, and he’ll die like we all die, in pain or asleep, and we’ll still have our fantasy baseball, and the next fascist fucker in line for the job of demolishing hope for us all. So I’m putting in love now, I’m putting in faith, putting fear on a long-term IL. I’m going outside, I’m going to help organize something better. Something beautiful.

Blame Baby • Silhouette • 2020
“’Silhouette’ is about incomplete relationships, the tense push and pull of secret lovers, and the phenomenon of explosive human chemistry. Embedded in the shoe-gaze-inspired tune is a structure that mirrors this tension and release. Tight staccato rhythms launching into soaring distorted guitars underpin a longing and lascivious dreamscape. ‘Silhouette’ is one of the most beautiful sounding words, all at once evoking feelings of fantasy and playfulness with mystery and darkness. For this very reason, the song began with the title and then it wrote itself.”

Tilly and the Wall • I Want to F*ck It Up: Tilly and the Wall 2002-2013 • 2020
three singers, a tap-dancer, three songwriters and songs meant to be thrust into the sky with joyous punches. Recorded in a basement by Conor Oberst, the album’s danceability and “f*ck it up” chants, it’s sorrow and punk, dress up brawling and bottled call to friendship and grab-it-off-the-shelf folk was like nothing that had ever come before. It took indie pop and kissed it on the forehead leaving a glitter smear. It stomped on hate and refused to be part of any scene that wouldn’t let every single kid in the door.
The Allman Betts Band • Magnolia Road • 2020
‘Pale Horse Rider’ was a really fun one to write,” Devon Allman, told Rolling Stone Country, “Duane had this almost vertigo-inducing descending melodic pattern that was so unique. Once I started the lyric about a man feeling so lost and isolated with the world out to get him, the story just kind of wrote itself. The Wild West seemed like the perfect to setting to tell the tale.”

Nicolas Michaux • Parrot • 2020
'Parrot' is my personal favourite from the new record drawing on some of those 60s British invasion sounds, Manfred Man, The Kinks, The Faces etc with a driving rhythm section (provided his band, The Soldiers of Love) and jangle-pop guitar patterns scattered over the top. Thematically, the track takes aim at apathetic a 'wait and see' attitudes, particularly in the face of political, social and ecological danger and strife.

Will Powers • RIVERS • 2020
Emerging artist Will Powers is back with his new single “Rivers”, which you can stream exclusively via Aesthetic Magazine below.
“My family owns a cottage on the French River, and in recent years I’ve become more aware of its history as an important trading route in early colonial times,” said Powers.” “I’ve often thought about the significance of us occupying that land, which is now a pristine provincial park.”
“Living in the twenty-first century amidst a pervasive ignorance of colonial history has pushed me to learn about the general circumstances that enabled us to be there today, and obliges me to convey a message of respect to that place.

RYAN HAMILTON & THE HARLEQUIN GHOSTS • JESUS & JOHN LENNON • 2020
Talking about the inspiration behind the track, Ryan explains “They’re an iconic pair, I know. But, for me, 2 of the ultimate examples of how no matter what, even with the best intentions, things will inevitably go wrong. This song was originally written in the first person ("I go to church on Sunday morning" etc...), and inspired by my marriage falling apart. But taking Stevie's (Van Zandt) advice, about getting away from myself, led the song in more of a story direction. Stevie also came on board as a co-writer for this one. He felt it was a big, important song, and I was thrilled to finish the song, and write it, together. Side note: the amazing Mike Peters (The Alarm) sings backing vocals on this one”.

Drug Couple • 2027 • 2020
Today, creative duo and real life couple Drug Couple share the first single "2027" off of their upcoming EP, Choose Your Own Apocalypse, due out August 14th via PaperCup Music. Starting off with a bright, alt-folk sound, the song "suddenly grinds into higher gear near its end with a blast of jagged guitar distortion swirling like a dream-rock tempest around the pair’s coolly musing vocals," praises The Big Takeover, who premiered the track. "2027" follows the story of a couple of ghosts hanging out in NYC seven years after the 2020 Apocalypse -- oddly prescient, both the song and EP were written long before this year and all of its events occurred.

"Bold, direct, and distinctly Scottish, 'NEVER KNEW YOU' is a remarkable return, one that revels in idiosyncrasy." CLASH premiere
‘Her boldest pop broadcast yet’ - THE SCOTSMAN
'Musically varied, packed full of symphonic strings, brass and synth arrangements, the LP is awash with her signature melody-driven, dreamy pop.' - SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY
'Orchestral blowout' – THE GUARDIAN
The Happy Fits • Moving • 2020
The band’s upbeat nature comes from a desire to connect with a world that’s sometimes distant. What Could Be Better’s title track was inspired by Calvin’s isolation as one of the few Asian-Americans in his hometown. As the band’s stages get bigger, he knows he’s becoming the role model he didn’t have, saying, “It feels really good to be someone that Filipino kids growing up in America could look up to.”
