Ghost Love- Iconic
According to Ghost Love vocalist David Rancourt “Iconic is meditation and reflection on how we remember people after they are gone. Lyrically it was inspired by the dreams I was having of my mother after she passed away and the conversations we were having where we seemed to communicate without using words. She felt very close and far at the same time and it was an emotion I had never felt before. It was a very cathartic and emotional release for me to write this song, probably the most intense of any song I have ever written. It’s a song where I wanted to tell her that she would never be forgotten but it’s also a bit of a reflection on the myths we construct for ourselves after someone passes. I think we tend to create these myths and storytelling about people as a part of the healing process and I think they are an important way to deal with grief.”

Manic Focus- Never Not Blue
Denver-based producer Manic Focus is an artist of many talents. As a magician, he uses sleight of hand to pull objects out of thin air.

Semaphore- Stay Together For The Kids
Next week, Semaphore will release the new album I Need A Reason To Stay on March 24th. In anticipation they share “Stay2gether”, their post-shoegaze cover of Blink 182’s “Stay Together For The Kids”. Originally starting off as an experiment with new gear and music software, lead singer and guitarist Siddhu Anandalingam decided to fully flesh out this cover of one of his favorite Blink 182 songs, by adding a drum machine and dropping the tuning of the song to make it even moodier. For the track he took inspiration from Brakence, My Bloody Valentine, Juice WRLD and of course, Blink 182. The song is augmented with a slowed down approach that heightens the traumatic nature of the lyrics, the chorus is treated to a wall of distorted guitars while vocals from lead singer Siddhu Anandalingam float in the ether above it all, seemingly dissociating from reality as a form of coping mechanism. Semaphore will celebrate the release of I Need A Reason To Stay with a show at Golden Sounds in Brooklyn on March 26th and have announced select spring tour dates to follow.

Single Mothers- Head Shrunk & Sad Dumb Game
Leading the collection are the tracks “Head Shrunk,” where Thomson ponders the futility of going through the motions of therapy sessions, and “Sad Dumb Game,” where he examines the disconnect between online activist posturing and meaningful social change. ”I wrote ‘Sad Dumb Game’ as a reflection of our intentions versus our actions,” he says. “We’re in a weird spot where two identities exist: your online persona and the real you. Lots of people get to see the online you, the one that’s carefully crafted, massaged, edited. A small fraction get to see the real person that exists outside the algorithms and edited rewrites. ‘Sad Dumb Game’ is about that performative dance, that editing process. It’s about the you that only exists on a screen somewhere versus who we really are.”
