It’s no secret that we’re fans of Portland’s Mama Bird Recordings. They’ve released a couple of incredible albums from Luka Kuplowsky and Skyway Man earlier this month, and now we have a new single from singer-songwriter Johanna Samuels we can’t get enough of. Now, it’s time for you to take a listen.
Check out the video for High Tide For One in the embed, and be sure to hit up her socials below for more going forward. Her debut album will be released in the spring, so stay tuned.
LOMA is the work of Emily Cross, Dan Duszynski and Shearwater‘s Jonathan Meiburg. Their latest album, Don’t Shy Away, was recently released on Sub Pop Records. If we’d known what we were going to hear on our very first listen today, we’d have bought this thing the exact minute it came out. Let’s just say, it’s a musical journey, you won’t soon forget.

Skyway Man is the moniker of James Wallace, who hails from Oakland, California. Just today, we came across his latest effort, The World Only Ends When You Die, and we’ve had this thing on heavy rotation ever since. Now, it’s time to share it with you.

It’s been some time since we’ve heard new music from Scottish indie-rock veterans Arab Strap. Well, the wait is finally over with their first new song in 14 years, The Turning Of Our Bones.

It’s been over 10 years since Arcade Fire released their groundbreaking third album The Suburbs, and as far as we’re concerned, the record is still as relevant as ever. Just recently, frontman Win Butler announced that a ton of new material was recorded over quarantine, so that’s something to look forward to.
Until then, take a trip down memory lane with us and check out our favourite album track Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) in the video below. You’ll be glad you did.
