EVRO – “Ninth Gate” (Video Premiere)

EVRO
Adam Grundy

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone an early look at the latest single and video from the electronic pop and post-punk project known as EVRO, called “Ninth Gate.” The single comes from EVRO’s debut self-produced LP, EVRO1, and the artist shared this about the new video:

It’s a triumphant yet melancholic exploration of ego dissolution, where transcendence meets introspection. Directed by Nic Seago, the video depicts a liminal time loop at the threshold of transformation, merging internet-age with an indie aesthetic to mirror the song’s cyclical and transcendent nature. I feel like this track is me having positive energy without being corny, I read the entire Red Book by Carl Jung and I was doing a lot of shadow work when I wrote it, I sort of realized that who I though I was, was a collection of memories told  by a specific perspective that wasn’t accurate to reality, and a lot of the things that I felt weren’t even truth in actuality, it was all made up. That was very liberating so that’s why I sing, Things that I used to feel, none of it was true.

If you’re enjoying the new music video, please consider streaming EVRO1 here.

The Brokedowns – “Let’s Tip The Landlord” (Video Premiere)

Today I’m so excited to bring everyone the latest music video from Chicago punk band, The Brokedowns, called “Let’s Tip The Landlord.” On this great-sounding single, The Brokedowns channel their love for big hooks paired with slick musicianship. The band shared:

Forty-five years after the Dead Kennedys rudely sneered, ‘Let’s lynch the landlord,’ The Brokedowns offer a softer, less pointed, rejoinder—one of reverence over rebellion: Let us pray for the landlord / Let us venerate the landlord / But above all—Let’s tip the landlord. Picking up where Crypto Dave left off in “In Praise of the Pedestal,” we now find him drawn into the mysterious wolf cult first hinted at in the previous episode. Does Dave have what it takes to withstand the trials of passive income? Is he the chosen one as prophesized in the alpha scrolls? Or is he another beta grifter, doomed to an eternity of cuck Lycan worship?

If you’re enjoying the music video, please consider supporting The Brokedowns here.

Ruby Sparks – “Here With You” (Video Premiere)

Ruby Sparks

Today is a great day to share the final music video from the Iris sessions from indie pop band, Ruby Sparks, called “Here With You.” Ruby Sparks is the solo project of Jake Sternberg, and he enlisted producer Collin Desh (of LA band Low Hum), Phil Joly for mixing (The Strokes, Lana Del Rey, Daft Punk), and Dave Cooley for mastering (Tame Impala, Spoon, M83) on his new record that released on November 5th. Sternberg shared:

’Here With You’ was the last song written for Iris. I knew the album wouldn’t be complete without a penultimate, bombastic love song that could live alongside the tender, minimal title track. It’s a song about learning to fall in love with both the simple blissful moments as well as the complexity and uncertainty of a relationship. I knew as soon as I wrote the ‘Grey skies of May finally burning to blue’ line that I wanted this image to represent the song and my relationship to my now fiancé, Joanna. Life and love contain similar dualities, the cool somber spring LA mornings that gradually transform into the most gorgeous blue skies you’ve ever seen, or the days where the grey seems to never let go. This song, album, and music video represent the intersection of my relationship and my art, and I wanted to give fans a glimpse into a slice of my life. Massive thanks to Brian Callaghan, who helped bring the vision to life, and to Joanna for hanging out with me while we melted in the sun together for 6 hours.

If you’re enjoying the music video, please consider purchasing Iris here.

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single and music video from DC punk band, American Television, called “Witches!”. On this Halloween-themed video American Television re-created the original video, shot-for-shot, for their key single from their new EP, You Are Not Alone, for the spooky holiday. The band shared, “Steve has been talking about doing a Halloween version of a music video for years. Since our EP dropped in September, we thought, ‘what better time to indulge his intrusive thoughts, than to come back around a month after the EP release with a witchy version of ‘Witches!’?’ With a little extra effort at the shoot, we were able to create this near shot-for-shot recreation of the original – strangely enough, the final cut of this video was cranked out after 3am, better known as the witching hour.” If you’re enjoying the new video, please consider supporting this punk band that is signed to Smartpunk Records by checking out their new EP here.

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single and video from New York-based indie pop artist, Caicos, the moniker of Alex Frenkel, called “Behemoth.” On this vibrant track that is filled with lush and complex guitar parts, Caicos establishes himself as a key artist to watch. “To me, the behemoth is a tryingly-formative experience from our past that we silently carry until it becomes very burdensome to divulge when embarking on cultivating new relationships,” Frenkel explains. “How can we possibly effectively communicate the emotions that have calcified over such a long period of time? The song explores a few examples of behemoths as well as the problems that might arise when deciding to finally attempt to share them.” If you’re enjoying the new single and video from Caicos, please consider supporting this artist here.

Today I’m excited to bring everyone the latest single and video from Grace Inspace, called “Meteor,” that features artist Luna Li. The single is this artist’s debut release on TODO Records and it showcases Grace Inspace’s innate ability to convey a wide range of emotions through her dynamic music. Grace Inspace shared, “‘Meteor’ started as a mantra I would repeat to myself in moments when anxiety or pain felt endless–a reminder that whatever I was feeling was ephemeral and that I shouldn’t cower from it because it would soon subside. I took the skeleton of the song to Luna Li and we sat crosslegged on her bed and fleshed it out, before asking Josh Mehling and Mulherin to turn it into an anthem with their production.” If you’re enjoying the video, please consider streaming the single here.
