Little Brain-Together We Rise

It merges elements of rock with an electronic ocean underneath, something that highlights their incredible style and form. It sounds like a track by Puscifer, with genius electronic elements providing harmonies and breaks into the realm that lies beyond our own. It is a treat to listen to, surprising turns and twists await, while keeping the pop aura somehow contained within. Continue to be surprised by the latest single here:
Abby Asabea-The Way It Was
Something incredible will come over you when you listen to Abby Asabea. It is a superb fusion of R&B, funk and jazz, and in this one the jazz stands out. Her vocals are a syncopation between the movement the instrumentals create so well. Energetic, yet drawn back with the soft percussion, you’ll watch the layers line up in incredible ways. Harmonics and vocals will tease you, almost showing tributaries through the track and making some really exciting and thought-provoking movement. Ending with an exciting and unpredictable pulse, this is Abby Asabea at her best:
Colin Woltmann-The In-Betweens
Surreal and soft melodies make way to your ear canal and heart with Colin Woltmann. For fans of the lyricism Sufjan Stevens has and the melodies that Phoebe Bridgers hold, comes a brilliant artist. Armed with just his acoustic, you will listen in rapt attention the kind of surfaces he creates to bounce off of. The lyrics are a personal reflection, yet seem to apply to a kind of protagonist you can picture easily. His soothing voice and articulate melodies are ready to make you travel more than half the world. Listen to the single here with us!:
Lycio-Air, Pt. 2
You might not hear pop like Lycio makes, because every little element makes it their own. The exciting band have made quite the effort to bring a lot of vortexes to conflux on their music, and the result is kind of spellbinding. From the kind of melodies that carry you on to the energetic and textured vocals, Lycio is making pop the thing that pops.
