The Zangwills sing of Hope amidst a melancholy musical backdrop in the intro to their new single. The soulful contemplative introduction gets warped impressively by the cut time rhythm of the full band.

Its a catchy indie rock stomper that recalls the cherished legacies of Kings of Leon or The Growlers.

When it comes to New Constellations their new single Waterslides shows that there’s a lot more than meets the eye. Their latest pivots from their synth pop past with groovy pop precision.

We love what we’re hearing on Young, the new single from Trails and Ways.

“When we were young we didn’t sit, too much to do. Now I settle down, we don’t move over the ground like we used to.” The simple sentiment lands iconic courtesy of the singers swagger filled delivery. She’s both lush and smooth as a vocal jazz pop influence permeates this indie pop aura intriguingly. Stylistically she finds the middle ground between Remi Wolf and Norah Jones. It’s a cool vibe.
