LISTEN: “Homingbird” by Favela

Happy to get something up on the blog for one of my most streamed artists in Favela. His first release of 2020, Homingbird, builds from simple vocal repeated adding a well-balanced piano line, amidst a smooth injection of sophisticated percussion.

Stick around for the 8 minutes, its beautiful.

FAVELA says of the track:

“Homingbird is about being hungry for something you desire, and not settling for anything less until it’s fully yours. The song begins with a yearning that intensifies as it crescendos, to the point where it can’t be ignored and soon takes over. The song for me feels like a dance where one is in step with yearning.”

LISTEN: “I Can Hardly Speak” by Bombay Bicycle Club

Seems like I can’t keep away from here, especially when I hear a song that just gets me right away. “I Can Hardly Speak” by Bombay Bicycle Club is about struggling to express yourself in words and comes from the upcoming Jan 17th release of Everything Else Has Gone Wrong.

GRAE

Currently Listening To: GRAE

What a nice surprise in the inbox with the video for “Your Hands” by Toronto artist GRAE. This song follows her debut track “New Girl”, both from GRAE’s debut EP will be coming later this year (produced by UK based singer-songwriter KYAN). We’re to expect infectious pop hooks, smokey vocals and an infusion of jazz, dousted in female empowerment. Musically, this track makes me think Bishop Briggs-meets-Feist.

Speaking about the track Grae said:
“Your Hands” is about taking power back after being in a manipulative relationship. Giving everything to someone and allowing the situation to be dictated by them, it was in “their hands” until the tables turned and it wasn’t anymore. You gain your power back and realize your worth and tell this person you’re no longer here for their games.”

LISTEN: “Suddenly” by Future Generations

Super late to the game on this NYC band, but this song recently caught my ear while working away in a coffee shop (I thought it was actually Dan Black singing). “Suddenly” is the 3rd single off Future Generations‘ latest album Landscape (Frenchkiss Records) while came out last September 14. Take a listen.

VIDEO: “Eucalyptus” by La+ch x Ryder Havdale [Official Video]

Take a look at the latest video from the collaboration between Ryder Havdale and La+ch (Coleman Hell). “Eucalyptus” was filmed on Sproat Lake, BC at a cabin built by Havdale’s great grandfather in the ’40s. The video features some stunning drone shots of BC’s winter beauty, framed in this quite dark storyline. Take a look.
