This Friday Rainbow Kitten Surprise will release their first album in six years!  If you are a fan of RKS, then you were probably aware that the band had reconvened in the studio.  This comes after a mighty struggle for Ela Melo, the frontperson who has battled mental health issues.  It seems like Melo's quality of life has improved, so we're happy for her and to get a full-length jammed with new harmonies.  Check out Superstar while we wait for Love Hate Music Box out May 10th!

]]>
Folks, we are Now in Motion!  British artist William Doyle just dropped his Springs Eternal album and we're loving it.  This is not his first foray, but maybe he's attacking new territory with these newest songs since 2021.  He seems to be comfortable in his own skin, having ditched the East India Youth moniker, but writing from some outer body perspectives.  Simply put, time doesn't stop, so how do your different versions of yourself measure up against it?

Next month Twenty One Pilots will release Clancy, their new album and the fourth which continues a story arc that started with Blurryface back in 2015.  The Ohio duo of Tyler Joseph & Josh Dun are tough to classify, in a good way, because their songs span so many genres.  We urge you to do the deep dive on the fictional character of Clancy.  We love the creativity of the storyline, and here's a small part of it with their second single Next Semester!

More

]]>
The Last Dinner Party's debut album is finally here!  Even though they had it completely finished before their first single Nothing Matters was released in April of 2023, the band still had plenty to prove.  Their branding and energy at live shows more than holds up, and Lead Vocalist Abigail Morris puts it perfectly in this excerpt from a Q&A with The Luna Collective:

I think there's two things for that question. One, which is what we want to achieve for us on stage. And then another one, which is how we want people to feel. 

We were having a discussion very early on about that question … “How do we want people to feel at our gigs and when they leave?” And what we kind of landed on was that we want people to leave the show feeling like they've just been at the best dinner party they've ever been to, with the coolest people and the best conversation. You're a bit drunk and you're full of ideas and energy. 

Prelude to Ecstasy is full of awesomeness, and today we're featuring one of our favorite tracks, Sinner.  Check it out!

More

]]>
Ari Picker is perhaps our most fitting (and favorite) Draw Your Own Line story within the Music Monday series.  After studying at Berklee College of Music, he formed Lost in the Trees and put out albums from 2007 to 2014 that saw success.  He then essentially quit music, built a house in Pittsboro (NC), got married, and started a family.  Picker went from not really knowing how to build a house to starting a construction business. He also runs a super cool, little studio called Goth Construction.  In 2018, he returned to the music scene under the Dante High moniker.  This is when we were introduced to his music and featured Green Swamp.  Fast forward to the COVID era and Picker put out Dante High II, but a lot of people didn't hear it as it has just hit the big streaming services this Fall (~ 2 years later).  So while this music isn't exactly brand new, it is to many, and we love it.  Check out the video for Deeper Love!
