Sarah J Stanley: not a teepee catalogue

Not a Teepee Catalogue is already the eighth album released by Sarah J Stanley. With the number of her releases, it is no doubt that Stanley has something special in her sleeve. With Not a Teepee Catalogue, it is proven. The title mud dance is very contrary with its music. It is a mellow, and very easygoing track. It has a unique blend of the music and its vocals. The guitar strumming is laid-back and comforting. mud dance has a very special tune, and great lyrics as well.

Get The Picture: Nothing Less Than Nostalgia

Nothing Less Than Nostalgia is an energy-inducing album produced by Get The Picture. It is a collection of pop-rock-punk tracks with two tracks as acoustic and remix. Take A Chance might at first sound like the usual pop-rock song, but this track has that kickass energy enveloped around it. First, the vocals is very distinctive and is perfect for a pop-rock genre. Second, the musical instruments such as drums, guitar, bass, etc fuses that will release a neon pop-rock. Lastly, it is very catchy and simply rocks.

Black City Lights: Another Life

Another Life is the seventh album released by the newest pop duo, Black City Lights. An arresting combination of a twisted dark pop, melancholy, and phantom voices, Another Life will intoxicate you with their unusual turn in music. Phantom. That would be the perfect word to describe Children. The chilling wave of the synthesizers, dubsteps/electronica complemented with the apparition-like vocals. This song is a beautiful hallucination that tickles and eventually jolt your reflective mind.

Get Olde: Crying

I’ll just cut to the chase and tell you that Get Olde from up-and-coming indie group Crying might just be the best 8-bit indie rock you’ll hear in months. Hailing from New York, Crying consists of Elaiza Santos (vocals), Ryan Galloway (guitar/game boy), and Nick Corbo (drums). In this seven-piece collection, the group introduces a fresh new way to appreciate chiptune. Their sound’s distinct, quirky attitude is infectiously addictive.
