A classic indie rock aesthetic finds poetic truth in the verses that make up Breathe, the new single from Dallas band Overstreet Knox. The fellas take it all in the charming and effective lyric video for their new single. Hitting the road and making sure to stop, smell, and see. Fans of bands like The Kooks or early Kings of Leon will embrace their authenticity.

Tyler Lyle lets his love light shine in the graceful essence of his new single Nagano. Lyle lets you into his reality in both sight and sound on this impressive project. Lyle Chronicles the ups and downs of life in a way that finds the silver lining in all of it. Its a nice song too, with a catchy vein that will connect with fans of Sam Fender or Del Water Gap.

Catchy funky soulful indie pop. It takes a word salad to decribe the essence of Retribution Visual, the new single from Austin Powell. A simple music video does the trick on this effective release. A sure thing for indie pop fans who like some trip hop influence.

Ivory from the duo IVES sways like a dream in the video for their new single Dahlia. The ethereal shots add to the collective contrast, as Dahlia is collectively catchy, moody, and complicated. Ivory seemingly works it out in both narrative and performance as she quarrels between desire and unrequited infatuation. We like these kind of dark dream pop shoegaze blends.

It might just be a webcam visualizer but the personality shines through in the video for Carry Me Home, from Caroline Alves. Shining through is actually an understatement. As a performer Alves is magnetic. Her energy only compliments the rare gritty urban appeal of her sound. She honorably blends her influences. We’re talking Winehouse, Badu, and Massive Attack just to name a few. It’s freakin’ delicious.
