Dono Dono-Tears Have Run

Fans of synth pop will love Dono Dono’s new single, Tears Have Run. This fun, neon piece of synth pop from the Virginia based artist demonstrates his wide array of influences. Bright, glossy synth brass and punchy synth bass combine for a retro throwback, with a sound that brings together the classic sound of new wave acts like Men at Work and Pet Shop Boys, with the slick, modern production of Tame Impala and Blood Orange.

Patrick Sampson-Paper Planes

&Tilly and Patrick Sampson’s new single, Paper Planes, is a more reflective, somber ballad. Minimalistic, open guitar chords and atmospheric electric guitar chords make space for Patrick and &Tilly’s beautiful, harrowing vocal. Fans of Fleet Foxes and Phoebe Bridgers will love the melancholic, emotional lyrics and performances.

Temme Scott-Contract Killer

Our last track continues in the slower feel of the last, with the latest single by LA based singer-songwriter, Temme Scott. Temme Scott demonstrates her true star power that has allowed her to play venues such as the famous Bootleg Theater, with this song, Contract Killer, being a tender, dreary indie pop ballad. Temme’s vocals are expressive and full of angst, with subdued, reverb soaked guitars providing a nice backdrop.
