tija “sad songs” released april 26th
“Sad Song is a song that shows what is happening in this world. It’s a song full of longing for peace. It’s about what this world will look like for generations, if we live in it the way we do and if we treat each other like we’re not human.
Because we have to deal with so many different horrible events, it sometimes feels like all this daily news are too much for one little person. The solution might be to not look at those sad songs. But as part of this world, we can’t get sick of sad songs when other people are directly affected by sad songs, bad bombs, …”

“Soulful vocals and rocky instrumentals, recognizable lyrics and melodic hooks, that invite you to sing along – thats the sound of Tija’s Sad Songs.
Sometimes you feel overwhelmed by all the terrible news around you, by this world that seems to be falling apart? Sad Songs gives you the opportunity to sing along, let out all your feelings, feel better and remember what we are: Human beings.”
replenished sky “supersonic jet” released april 26th
This is Daniel Quine AKA Replenished Sky says about his brand-new single Supersonic Jet: “I wrote this song about a supersonic jet in that even though it may be a tough vehicle, all it requires is a single bird strike to send it down in a similar way to which the difficulties of anxiety can cast even the most defensive, tough minded individual down.”

“I’ve been stuck in a bit of a rough patch in my personal life as of recent and felt like I wanted to make something upbeat and fast to break up the flow of the menial and dreary. I had never really worked on a 70’s influenced punk song before so I decided to take that and mash it with another sound, I’ve never really tried which is a reggae/ska influence”
the arcane insignia “the violence within” released april 12th
“We’re a duo based in New York City who combine Prog Rock with Classical Music. Comprised of cello, vocals, 7 string classical guitar, acoustic percussion and piano, We focus on delivering a hard hitting, Metal inspired sound influenced by acts such as A Perfect Circle, Opeth, Porcupine Tree and classical composers like Chopin while keeping our aesthetic entirely acoustic, drawing from Classical music in a way to break through the boundaries of what both Classical music and Metal are supposed to represent.”

“Finding one’s unconditional royal dignity even in the midst of the most adverse circumstances, knowing that we are more closely identified with the sun (our true being) than with the clouds that temporarily cover it (challenges and obstacles).”
karyn kuhl “no traces” released april 12th
Hoboken’s Karyn Kuhl has always evoked the hum of NYC right across the river, with all of its tension and light. Her new Dromedary Records single No Traces (produced by Charlie Nieland) is no exception, evoking post-punk with a touch of the ethereal. Karyn draws a scene of loss and transcendence, with her lush voice and icy synths glinting off the driving guitars and drums, all tough and glossy. The Tower (produced by Larry Heinemann) rounds out the two-sided single release, with moonlit swampy grace.

“I was trying to capture an 80s Brit post punk vibe with this recording. It’s the first time I’ve really featured synth in any of my music. I’m hoping it conjures that time period in music history while simultaneously feeling modern.”
v of 40m “the score” released february 29th
The Score featuring 40M Tye and Hippie G, produced by LABACK. Fresh off a nationwide awareness campaign, V of 40M is back with a new bag titled “The Score”. Inspired in a sense by The Fugees and their timelessly legendary roughly 3 decades ago, V and his fellow 40M comrades 40M Tye and Hippie G have returned with modern day classic with V’s quintessential revolutionary twist.
STREAM “THE SCORE” ON SPOTIFY NOW!
“Revolutionary vibes only! The Score is many things including an anthem, a call to action, a battle cry and a guarantee. Its anthem for those who aren’t aware of what’s going on. It’s a call to action for those who are aware but aren’t engaged as of yet. It’s a battle cry for those who are already in the field and it’s a guarantee that we will be an autonomously independent people. The Score is a part of the soundtrack to the revolution. Collective self-awareness + collective self-sufficiency + collective self-determination = Independence.” V of 40M
