Dagmar on The Autumn Roses

Dagmar_TheAutumnRoses

The Autumn Roses shares the new video from Dagmar, “What Do You Want”:

It swirls like mysterious vapors, and as precisely as clockwork. “What Do You Want” is the honest and inventive new single from Fairfield, Iowa’s DAGMAR, the band a musical partnership between Gemma Cohen and Miranda Mallard, and its moody and crisp new video was directed by Alana Waksman.

Nooga.com reviews John Dillon‘s new music from their forthcoming debut album The Lost Estate, coming on March 25th from Plume Records:

On their latest single, “The Fox,” the band drifts breezily through a buoyant melody accompanied by echoing vocals that feel as if you could reach and touch their gossamer lines. Equal parts hushed atmospherics and wobbly dream pop beats, the song is a wonder to hear, a languid exploration of the band’s influences without the slightest trace of artifice or imitation.

Glacially Musical reviews John Dillon

Seattle band John Dillon‘s debut album The Lost Estate gets a great review from Glacially Musical:

There are some delightful vintage musical elements hidden in plain sight on Lost Estate. There’s the slide guitar reminiscent of The Doors’s Moonlight Drive and the whirling sounds of an organ through a Leslie Speaker. I will never be able to explain this to you with just my words, so check them out for yourselves.

Out on vinyl and digital from Plume Records on March 25th.

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.

Exclaim! has the premiere of Phosphene‘s new single “Ride”:

That tightened sound shines through on “Ride,” without losing any of the hazy breeziness that draws the listener in and keeps them swaying along and raptly gazing at their shoes. Hear the band serve up their latest slice of sweet, shoegaze-y goodness by hitting play.

Nooga.com‘s Joshua Pickard reviews Phosphene‘s forthcoming Breaker EP and streams “Be Mine”

…it’s their heart and potent earnestness that really give their music a sense of its own restless creativity and a perspective that carries with it a distinctly unique approach…[‘Be Mine’] takes its cue from the grand pop rock statements of bands such as Alvvays and Interpol. Singer-guitarist Rachel Frankel’s voice glides by atop the thudding roll from the drums and the shimmering notes stretched from their guitars—it’s a lovely piece of pop music that masquerades as a dense rocker, one that gradually reveals itself only after a handful of listens.
