Originally hailing from Portland but now based in Los Angeles, Blackwater Holylight have been paving their lane in the world of rock and psych for years now.
Lillie West aka Lala Lala and Yoni Wolf of WHY? come together for their collaborative single and video 'Siren 042'. Directed by Scott Fredette, the video depicts West and Wolf frantically running throughout the city from someone or something, ending with Yoni literally jumping off of a ledge before Lala Lala is presented with a bouquet of flowers. Yes the video is slightly weird but the song itself is an atmospheric dream pop bit that is highly infectious.
Like the make-up of the band itself, Liverpool-based Oya Paya's latest single 'Why?' is a multi-cultural fusion of music styles that is not only refreshing in this day and age but reflects the possibilites of not being trapped by genre-specifics. Taking elements of indie, pop, Hip-Hop and more and blending them into one unique offering, the track comes after the band's troubles of their drummer Ashwin having to return back to Singapore due to UK Visa issues.
