Maria Ellis’s “Lucky” sounds like a love song at first, and it is one. But the longer it plays, the clearer it becomes that the song is also about self-worth. The person she is singing to matters, but so does the way their love changes how she sees herself. The new single follows “Relapse,” a track that explored the magnetic pull of returning to a relationship that had become complicated. “Lucky” moves backward in that emotional timeline, to a moment when the relationship sti

Bozeman, Montana-based bedroom-pop artist delivers his most vulnerable and sonically refined work to date: We had the opportunity to sit down and talk influences that shaped this duo release… Ask Isaac Winemiller what he’s listening to and the answer says as much about his own music as anything else might.

For anyone coming to Rose Wallace Goldaline for the first time, how would you describe the project in your own words? I would say it’s Lo-Fi folk with some pop sensibilities. The project name comes from a Neutral Milk Hotel reference. How did you land on it, and why did it feel right? A lot of the decisions for this project were made purely based on what felt right. I tend to overthink when it comes to music and I’ve been trying to learn to trust my intuition. Both, the deci

The work of songwriter and bassist Sam Gino, SAMLOW continues to carve out a distinctive space in the genre, with bass-led songwriting forming the foundation of a sound that feels both weighty and melodic.

Rodrigo y Gabriela’s OurHome announcement arrives with plenty of major details: a September 18 release date through ATO Records, recording sessions in Japan, collaborations with Marty Friedman and Hiromi, and a long tour schedule stretching from North America to Europe.

A song from 1059 is a strange place to begin, which is exactly why “Watchman” stands out. Young Allies, the New York-based ensemble led by Fritz Michel, have released the track as the latest single from their debut EP Fingers Entwined, out July 24. Its medieval origin gives the song an immediate talking point, but the track’s appeal is quieter than that. The song is based on a troubadour piece from Provence, with Michel adapting the old image of the watchman who marks the end

Martin Luther McCoy’s “Now” is built around a familiar romantic idea: stop thinking so much and step toward the person in front of you.
