EMBRZ is the project of Jack Casey, who’s name might ring a bell if you’re searching soundcloud for Ellie Goulding and The 1975 remixes. Here’s an original, with vocal help via Amy Rose. Check out “Silent”.
Baltimore-based trio Misun have a new single called “After Me”, the lead single from their forthcoming EP, Feel Better.
