Soccer Mommy Shares Single ‘Shotgun’ From New Album Sometimes, Forever
Soccer Mommy has announced her new album Sometimes, Forever, with the showstopping new single ‘shotgun’ and its accompanying video. The song holds the same blunt, observational nature and homemade feel while expanding on her trademark style with a heavier, shoegaze-influenced sound. The song starts with the presence of a fast-moving, digital-sounding backdrop with lush, dreamy vocals. This pop-inspired element to the song compliments the whirring and distortion that appear subtly alongside (and more prominently later) on the track. The accompanying video shows what appears to be a childhood bedroom where Soccer Mommy plays her guitar and sings. Later the video breaks the fourth wall and the room is revealed to be a set. The color palette changes with the mood of the song, all within the ro...

NGHTMRE and SLANDER Unfurl New Chapter In Collaborative Saga With Emotive Single, “Fall Into Me”
The latest offering in the saga of NGHTMRE and SLANDER is a tonal switch-up from the “gud” vibrations of yesteryear. Their new single “Fall Into Me,” the lead from NGHTMRE’s forthcoming debut album, sees the bass music virtuoso back on a collision course with his most frequent collaborators. However, unlike prior efforts, “Fall Into Me” is characterized by heartstring-tugging verses and somber chord progressions. SLANDER and Dylan Matthew, seemingly have hit-making down to a science, and “Fall Into Me” has the ingredients to continue the trend. Matthew’s vocals are precluded by a melancholic piano solo in the track’s introduction. The “Love Is Gone” vocalist does what he does best, delivering a powerful ver...

Vini Vici and Berg have turned back the clock to 1993, reimagining The Beloved’s club classic, “Sweet Harmony.” The superstar psytrance outfit eschewed the electrifying elements of their signature sound here, opting for a more hypnotic feel.
