Independent Music News premieres There Is No Mountain’s new music video “Hiking”
Independent Music News premieres “Hiking,” the new music video from There Is No Mountain:
The group specializes in a charming brand of psych-pop that is often dancey and always catchy, like a matured mix of the Dirty Projector’s artsy weirdness and oddball vocal harmonies with the barebones instrumentation of Beat Happening. All of these textures and more are present on their sophomore album, Luna, a collection of songs based around the band’s travels released by L.A.’s ORG Music in January 2016.
Think of the song in terms of the plot diagrams your fourth grade English teacher would write on the dry erase board and you’ll notice an entire cycle of emotion smashed into an insanely catchy two and a half minute song.
Heavy Blog Is Heavy premieres Druids’ new single “Capturing the Firemares”
Heavy Blog Is Heavy premieres the new single “Capturing the Firemares” from Druids‘ forthcoming album Cycles of Mobeum, coming out on June 3rd from Sump Pump Records:
The stuff is pretty great, and has tinges of Mastodon and early Baroness all throughout it. The production is extremely crisp and cutting, which is not something I’m used to hearing from this type of band, so it threw me for a bit of surprise. However, once you understand it’s what the band was going for, you’ll be all about it.

Northwest Music Scene premieres Nick Drummond single “Love”
NorthWest Music Scene premieres “Love,” the first single from Nick Drummond‘s forthcoming debut solo album Follow the Rivulets!
“Love” is a moment of beautiful self-reflection. Following the departure of his longtime lover, Follow the Rivulets promises to be an intensely personal and self-redeeming album. Though there is a lot of heartache throughout “Love” and many other tracks on the LP, it isn’t just a woe-is-me record for the sadsacks of the world. “Love” features bouncy, sturdy, somewhat poppy instrumentation, and over it, Drummond brings an enthused and charismatic performance.
John Dillon album ‘The Lost Estate’ premieres at Northwest Music Scene
NorthWest Music Scene premieres the debut album from Seattle 5-piece John Dillon!
John Dillon is a new experimental pop band fronted by singing-songwriting mad genius Dillon Sturtevant…Everything from hypnagogic pop to new wave to dream pop to noise pop shows up…Though there’s obviously a very poppy, immediate sensibility to a lot of what happens on this LP, it’s all filtered through a diverse and kaleidoscopic lens.
Stream “The Lost Estate” and pick up a vinyl copy tomorrow from Plume Records.
The Sound of Confusion premieres John Dillon single “Holy Fool”
The Sound Of Confusion premieres the new single from Seattle 5-piece band John Dillon:
…luscious, expansive and a little stately. In terms of structure, ‘Holy Fool’ is vintage pop that doesn’t belong to a particular time, but for all its ‘Be My Baby’ drums, classic slide guitar and yearning melodies, it doesn’t sound dated, although it does sound timeless, with a dreamy atmosphere that’s thick but not overbearing. You could perhaps make comparisons to certain Pink Mountaintops songs in that respect (‘Axis: Thrones Of Love’ springs to mind), due to the subtle beauty that’s tinged with sadness. Gorgeous.
Listen to “Holy Fool” and pick up the debut album from Plume Records on March 25th.
The Revue premieres the D’ark remix of Copperfox’s “War Horse” (Music Video)
The Revue premieres Copperfox‘s new music video for “War Horse” (D’ark remix), which showcases the Martian-like landscape of Maui’s Haleakala Volcano:
The song is majestic. It is the sound of an abandoned street at night where the only voice that can be heard is in the one in your head. It is your deepest thoughts and fears speaking to you, yet you still look over your shoulder. That solitary, uneasy feeling we all experience, yet there is an inner peace. It is an unexpected calmness where you can collect your thoughts and figure out your biggest dilemmas. It is that little glimmer of light in the darkness that provides you with an ounce of hope.

The Huffington Post‘s Mike Ragogna shares the US premiere of Dagmar‘s stunning new music video for “What Do You Want” from their debut album Afterlight, beautifully capturing the point in a relationship when something has died.
VIDEO PREMIERE: Songwriting Magazine premieres Dagmar’s music video “What Do You Want”
Dagmar‘s incredible music video “What Do You Want” premieres today on Songwriting Magazine!
Musically, the influence of Philip Glass has been noted, while the band have seen their style deemed part of the indie-pop revival. We think that fans of Bat For Lashes will find much to enjoy in What Do You Want’s moody grace, while those with a fondness for dream-pop trio Au Revoir Simone will be similarly taken by the track.
