    David McKinney- Phaneron

    If anyone is hearing me for the first time I like for them to know that it means the world to me to be heard. Our time and attention is so valuable today so to be listened to just completes the music for me. I think of music as a vehicle for human connection, the…

  • Mahto & The Loose Balloons “The Buzzard”

    Mahto & The Loose Balloons “The Buzzard”

    I was really into the idea of doing every step in the process. Writing the song, performing the parts, recording, mixing, mastering, and release it. It’s also my first project to be pressed to vinyl. Which just arrived in the mail the other day. Of course the cherry on top is the cover that was…

  • Denni Ian “Two Figures”

    Denni Ian “Two Figures”

    “I wrote the lyrics for” Two Figures “in the summer of 2020 while being hospitalized at a local psych ward. Close to an all-time low, I had lost my mind, felt existentially exhausted, and alone.” Denni Ian

  • Ferguson’s Daughter- Blissed Out Blues

    Ferguson’s Daughter- Blissed Out Blues

    An important message about “Panic Attacks in Loves” This song includes audio footage of a conversation during one of my panic attacks, and may be triggering for those living with mental illness. I’ve struggled with panic attacks throughout my life, and over the last two years, with the help of therapy, medication management, and incredible…

  • The Wildwoods- “Thirteen Sailboats”

    The Wildwoods- “Thirteen Sailboats”

    “Noah composed a poem where he imagined himself as a sailor, pondering all of his life choices and wondering what he could’ve been had he taken other paths and opportunities. Being cursed by the “what if”, the sailor admires the fictitious character, ‘Virginia’, who represents all those who have found greater success, and lead seemingly…

  • YUTZI – “GIVE ME THE BLAME”

    YUTZI – “GIVE ME THE BLAME”

    The single is a bit sad lyrically speaking. It boards the theme of having to leave somebody behind to pursue your own dreams. In this case, songwriter/lead-singer Tom Starr wrote the song trying to convey the difficulties of leaving his partner to become a successful touring musician.

  • Marcus Valance- “Yesterday”

    Marcus Valance- “Yesterday”

    The song itself came relatively easy to me because I knew what I wanted to say. I thought that talking about death, as part of life, was important not only from a personal point of view, but to help others open up about their own grief. -Marcus Valance

  • Pini Gurfil “Anny”

    Pini Gurfil “Anny”

    “This songs reflects upon my personal experience from psychotherapy. It adopts a rather sarcastic standpoint on one hand, and an optimistic viewpoint on the other hand. This song is characteristic of my music, which often deals with our innermost dark layers, without succumbing to popular music trends, but rather invigorating sounds and themes which best…

  • Jess Porter- “Overplayed”

    Jess Porter- “Overplayed”

    “I wanted the strength of the melody and lyrics to shine through, which are important to me on this song. It’s about meeting someone – a friend or a lover – you care deeply about, but you know it’s just not the right time to be able to develop the relationship. You feel sad, but…

  • S J Denney- “All I’ve Ever Known”

    S J Denney- “All I’ve Ever Known”

    “All I’ve Ever Known” is a mixture of folk and country music. S J Denney creates an atmosphere heavily based on guitars and choirs whose combination presents a melancholic mood that reflect the personal themes of the track.

  • A Starving Viking “The Milksop EP”

    A Starving Viking “The Milksop EP”

    “These 3 songs were written/recorded in a sort of hut in my garage that I built out of plywood and U-Haul moving blankets. It was a few months into the pandemic/lock down and everything was just weird. I was working from home and a bit stir crazy and these songs came about from some negative…

  • V-Train “Sunset on the BLVD”

    V-Train “Sunset on the BLVD”

    “Basically long story short, Sunset on the BLVD is meant to be a happy and calm song to balance out the majority of sad songs I’ve created. I want people who are listening to this song to imagine themselves on a beach or any quiet area watching the sun set as a way to relieve…
