    Ellie Madeland “Mother Mother”

    “”Mother Mother” was inspired by some letters I found between me and my mum last year from when I was a kid, when my parents had just announced their divorce. It stirred up a lot of emotion in me, remembering the pain of her moving out. Reading the letters also brought me back to a…

  • SWEET GIANT – “Til You’re Blue”

    SWEET GIANT – “Til You’re Blue”

    “‘Til You’re Blue’ is a laid-back sunny day song. A feel good energy perfect for a road trip. The guitars are rooted in the 70s with a country twang following a casual dolewave groove, uplifting yet easy going.

    Mariya May “Made Of Stars”

    “My youngest daughter sometimes struggles with the finite nature of our human lives, and the idea that she and everyone she loves will someday die. “Made of Stars” is a response to that lingering shadow, a reminder that within us we hold an infinite connection to all of existence. We are literally made up of…

  • La Sante “Something Is Happening”

    La Sante “Something Is Happening”

    I wanted to capture the vibe of those sudden motions when something suddenly breaks the silence. When something really stirs the pot in life, life that sometimes feel like its going on autopilot. The sudden shift of tempo in the refrain is supposed to convey that feeling. But it’s also kind of a nod towards…

  • BONES IN BUTTER – “ANOTHER CLOUD”

    BONES IN BUTTER – “ANOTHER CLOUD”

  • Songs For Sabotage – “Rumors”

    Songs For Sabotage – “Rumors”

    “We wrote most of it in early 2020 during the recording of our first album. It felt vicious and clever to us but we had little intention of turning it into an SFS song […] However, amidst the endless tunnel that came later that year, we reworked the arrangement and production and began practicing performing…
