WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“I was lying in a field one day talking with a friend, and I was just hit with this realization that the most important things in life are relationships and human connection. No matter how hard life gets, there’s always someone else going through something similar. You don’t always see that though—especially living in the social media age we do. This song is a reminder that no matter how hard things seem, you’re never alone, and there are people right there with you that you’re so close to on an emotional level, even though you might not be able to see them or reach out and touch them.”  — Caye

Stream RVRB's new single 'Bad At Love'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We have some really exciting releases that came out over the weekend and to kick things off we wanted to share with you this new single from the multi-talented RVRB. Titled ‘Bad At Love’, we were immediately drawn in by the artist’s vocal style. Not only is it catchy but the lyrics point at a deeper reflection that we found inspiring and honest.

The instrumental blends the likes of R&B with indie-electronic elements to keep the song interesting. A sound that very few artist’s can pull off and we think you’ll agree. Go ahead and give it a spin and you’ll be singing and humming along in no time. Don’t forget to connect with RVRB online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“‘Bad At Love’ is a very personal thing that we all can relate to. When something special ends, there’s always a moment of reflection where you ask yourself what went wrong. It’s easy to point the finger and blame it on anything other than yourself, but at the end of the day it has to come back to you. It’s self deprecating in a way, but to me there’s so much hope in this song. You have to be honest with yourself and be able to say listen, I know I’m not easy to love all the time, but I promise I’m trying…

…At the end of the day isn’t honesty all we really ask for?” — RVRB

Cautious Clay releases 6-track EP 'Table Of Context'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Cautious Clay released ‘Table Of Context’ late last week and we took the weekend to dig through it and the 6-track EP lives up to all the hype. In fact, it’s actually quite difficult to pick a favorite out of the bunch. Cautious Clay has such a powerful and genuine writing style you begin to fall in love with each and every track for a variety of reasons. The lyrics, the instrumentation, the performance.. etc.

The EP is mostly Clay but it does feature a single with UMI and if you only have time to listen to one, we recommend you start with that. We can’t stress enough how much we love this project and we look forward to hearing more from the talented musician in the coming months. Don’t forget to subscribe to Clay online to stay up to date on any upcoming shows and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"Table of Context is about exploring the relationship between purpose and happiness and is kind of a self-reflection on all of the relationships and life experiences I've been through so far. More literally the title also refers to the actual desk (shown on the EP cover) that I've made all of my music at so far and how it's a physical context of my work." — Cautious Clay

Katie Buchanan's 'Twitch' is one of the best songs you'll hear today

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Every once in awhile an artist lands on our radar that absolutely blows our mind. This time, that certain someone is Katie Buchanan. Her latest is a work of art, titled ‘Twitch’, we immediately fall in love with the guitar melody. As a writer, performer, producer, and guitarist… Katie is a multi-talented artist to her core. The lyrical depth behind her music is pure magic. It’s heartfelt, it’s genuine, and it demands your attention in ways you never thought possible.

We can’t stress enough just how much we love this song and we know you will too once you give it a shot. Add it to your Spotify playlist and be sure to give the artist a follow to stay up to date on any upcoming shows/releases and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

""Twitch" is about the kind of anxiety that keeps you up all night, the wordless worries and the fights you forget to have, the teeth grinding insomnia that requires an appointment with your dentist. 

As a writer, I wanted to pair jam-packed, twisted lyrics to a cyclical, meditative guitar line: the same way the most dense thoughts fly through your head in the stillest of hours. And as a producer, I wanted to stretch the concept of a guitar-loop pop song: the "loop" here is played live in one take, the instrumental break lives somewhere between melodic synth and brash guitar solo, the drums are both bombastic and contained. 

In the end though, "Twitch" is a handful of snapshots: the nights you can't sleep, the days you can't fight, and the space in between when you realize that sometimes that's okay." — Katie Buchanan

When it comes to writing from the heart, Hazlett’s latest is an honest reflection of just that. Titled ‘Fireworks’, we love the instrumentation. The entire soundscape from start to finish feels a bit like a dream. A dream that is slowly fading away. And of course, the vocal style is incredible.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“I wrote this song after a night in Croatia with my then girlfriend. We bought some cheap fireworks from the corner store and set them off a rooftop after dinner. It was bittersweet, they made magic look so easy and all I wanted was for her to look at me like that. But I think if you have it, you have it. Love shouldn’t be work, love is magic.” — Hazlett

Have you checked out Michael Paradise's 'gold' yet? Stream it here 🎶

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

For fans of chill-wave and bedroom pop, Michael Paradise’s ‘gold’ is right up your alley. For us, we love the entire soundscape of the track. It’s brilliantly produced and the instrumentation is both relaxing and calming. There’s a level of depth behind the lyrics that keep us intrigued and the mixing sounds solid from start to finish. Go check it out for yourself and let us know what you think down below. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“the concept for gold came from thinking about how we always want more out of our lives, our relationships, our experiences. I think it’s simply a product of living in such an intensely capitalistic world -- the result is an inability to be satisfied. The line ‘looking back I wanted more, all that ice and gold’ felt like it captured both this capitalist greed for more wealth and status, but also that emotional and social desire to be cool. It also felt a bit playful because I’m not one to ever be iced out haha.” — Michael Paradise
