Vök – Waterfall

Coming from Iceland, Vök reminds of of all the other wonderfull music that came from Iceland during the last years.

Their sound consists of dreamy electronics with melodic vocals, distant saxophones and clean reverberated guitars. Circles, the new release from the band is again a masterpiece worth checking out.

Highly Suspect – Lydia

highlysuspect With every riff and chord appearing in over 100 different songs there is nothing original left anymore about rock and roll. But hearing a new good rock & roll song still gives people one of the best feelings in the world. Highly suspects succeed in this with their new song Lydia. Filled with raw distorted guitars and growling vocals this is what rock and roll is all about. The band is about to release their new album Mister Asylum this summer.

Ciaran Lavery & Ryan Vail – The Colour Blue

Collaborations mostly don’t bring anything new or better but can also lead to something amazing. The collaboration between alt-folk singer Ciaran Lavery and Ryan Vail resulted in a pure gem. Their song The Colour Blue, the first song of their mini album Sea Legs, is as soft and quiet as it is beautiful.

The songs makes you dream about endless road trips along beautiful landscapes and relaxing summer nights at the beach. This is one of the most relaxing and beautiful songs i have heard in a long time.

XYLØ – America
