    Indigo Out- “Just What It Is”

    “The lyrics are mostly about my inability to enjoy the present moment because I’m always trying to fix something or be productive, and how I’ve learned to accept things as the way they are; but I also left the lyrics a bit open for interpretation, as I like people to come up with different meanings…

  • C-Beem – Tales From Tono

    C-Beem – Tales From Tono

    ‘Tales From Tono’ came to me as a kind of projection from my previous EP ‘C-Beem And The Winter Thickets’. I wanted to capture a magical, folkish feel to a new project but in a different context and with a different sound. I live in an island country full of myth and legend, and I…

  • The Nation Mourns- “Laura”

    The Nation Mourns- “Laura”

    With only his guitar and his expressive voice, O’Shea’s song is directed to a person named Laura. He sings about finally letting her hidden aspects and personality come to light, about embracing and loving herself for whom she truly is. But, who is Laura? Laura is a metaphor of that vulnerable person that we are…

    Jim Jagger – “Memories of Spring”

    “I’ve been through depression in the past and I could feel Emma’s pain for Jenn in that situation. So I asked for a few details about Jenn. She is an avid gardener with productive green fingers, has 3 kids, and is a poet herself and regular attendee at a poetry club. So I started writing…

    Jacob Rountree- As I See It

    “The album title is a mixture of my engineering and musical sides as well as a summary of the fact that this album is much more of a coming to age album then my last. It presents songs of self awareness and clarity such as “Definitions”” Jacob Rountree

  • Alli Bean- Outside Voice

    Alli Bean- Outside Voice

    “Outside Voice is about personal growth & boundary setting. It’s about learning where your responsibilities lie & sitting with the understanding that not all people are our friends, even when they smile brightly & offer us our perception of love. It’s about confronting who we are in the face of the way others see us…

  • S J Denney- 4 Reasons to Fly

    S J Denney- 4 Reasons to Fly

    The EP was recorded in the cabin at the end of my garden. Due to other commitments, most parts were done in the early hours of the morning. My approach to making music changed significantly before this record, with a focus of including a wide variety of world instruments. The EP is my first to…

  • The Parlophonics- “Heaven Can Wait”

    The Parlophonics- “Heaven Can Wait”

    “Heaven Can Wait” is a charming single that plays with the convention of pop rock and takes it to new directions. Their guitars are all playful in the way they interact with the vocals. They compliment each other as if they were having a conversation.

  • Daniel McDonagh- “Country Turning”

    Daniel McDonagh- “Country Turning”

    Being alone in a wilderness also worked as a religious/spiritual metaphor for exploring faith, the dark night of the soul in mystical terms, and then seeing the world anew. The country turning alludes to change. Whatever that is in an earthly sense (who knows?) but also in a spiritual sense. Daniel McDonagh

  • Andrew Michael Meador- “Just Too Late”

    Andrew Michael Meador- “Just Too Late”

    “I loved composing this song, wrote all the parts, and played everything except the saxophone. The lyrics were the most important facet to me because I wanted to say what was on my mind and I was able to process a lot of what I have been experiencing lately as a citizen of the United…

  • GrayBeat – “Levitron (ft. Wayne Sayres)”

    GrayBeat – “Levitron (ft. Wayne Sayres)”

    I had this song sitting around. It reminded me of the feeling of being in a tractor beam, levitating weightless. I knew it had sort of a synthwave sound to it, and it had a downtempo retro feel as well. I thought it would be a good fit, so I composed about eight layers of…

  • Under Neptune – “Throw All Away”

    Under Neptune – “Throw All Away”

    Being deep inside an emotional turmoil is a situation difficult to escape from. But today’s featured single is about successfully going against all odds and finding the light in what seems to be a never-ending tunnel. “Throw All Away” (pre-save now available) is a hard rock track by Under Neptune that does not shy away…
