Over the past few months Brooklyn rapper and singer SAINt JHN has been releasing what he calls 'one take' videos for tracks taken from his 2019 LP 'Ghetto Lenny's Love Songs'. Basically, the team literally film each vid in one take and release them. With that being said, the visuals aren't shabby at all. In fact, they're quite good. For his latest one take, SAINt JHN has dropped a video for the Imanbek remix of his song 'Roses'. You can find the artist driving around in a truck full of girls dancing to the track, even though technically they're actually in front of a green screen. Never the less, the tune is a banger and the graphics for the flashing lyrics are really amazing. Have a look.
Danny Brown joins forces with Run The Jewels for the song and video '3 Tearz'. Directed by Colin Read and filmed in a warehouse in Brooklyn, the visuals feature the three emcees taking back on some raw Hip-Hop vibe, simply spraying bars on a mic in a circle of people who are holding up video cameras and smoking weed!
One band to be excited about is Brooklyn trio The Wants, the other group of Bodega's Madison Velding-VanDam. Releasing a number of tracks including 'Clearly a Crisis' and 'Fear My Society', they are spreading pure post-punk goodness. Their latest song 'The Motor' is no exception. Powered by a funky bass line, slick guitar riffs and head-nodding drums, the song is a revving piece that plays with a sinister feel yet is upbeat and dance-friendly.
Having left an imprint with their brand of post-punk and shoegaze, NYC band Russian Baths will release their debut album 'Deepfake' on November 8th. The duo have also shared one of the songs featured on the record titled 'Responder'. Dark and bold, musically the pair incorporate elements of goth and industrial planted in firm post-punk soil.
Brooklyn band Russian Baths make their return with the punchy single 'Tracks'. Hauntingly dark, sinister guitar lines accompany the ghostly vocals of Jess Rees with the band incorporating elements of noise, shoegaze and post-punk. 'Track's is the follow-up to Russian Baths' previous single release 'Parasite'.
Back in 2018 Brooklyn band Parrot Dream released their debut LP 'Light Goes'. An ethereal packing of lush dream pop and shimmering indie, the album reflected the growth of the group since their 2014 'Set Sail Someday' EP.
Earlier this year NYC-based artist Quelle Rox shared her cut 'Tired', which was jazzy slice of aquatic soul. Now the singer an producer delivers a taste of dream pop with her latest recording 'Cosmic Gloom'. The breezy lo-fi tune is a hazy delight as sparkling synths coincide with floating, airy vocals. We're hoping that Quelle Rox continues in this pop direction, as it'll be exiting to see where she takes her artistry and sound in the near future. Stream 'Cosmic Gloom' below.
Whilst originally a duo with Quincy Ledbetter, singer Mia Wilson now carries The Bright Smoke project as a solo artist as she releases a new cut entitled 'The Lion And'.
Brooklyn-based group The Bright Smoke have brought forth their latest track entitled 'Model Citizen'. Beginning the song with bossa style drums, the hefty indie tune punches with sinister post-punk guitars with singer Mia Wilson vocally binding everything tightly together.
As Brooklyn-based band Barrie start off their European tour, they have shared their latest single 'Geology', taken from their forthcoming debut album 'Happy To Be Her'. The track is a warm and summery dream pop piece that flows with easing instrumentation and Barrie Lindsay's airy vocals.
