Back in March New York’s Rebounder released their track “Lovers,” a track that we enjoyed a great deal.

South London emcee DC has been building a steady reputation overseas of late and has recently returned with his brand new single “Neighbourhood.”
The track is perfectly produced with a vivid sense of style and place that perfectly suites his observant lyricism and rhymes. The track sees DC recall life around him in South London, with a style that is refreshing to my American ears, tired of what is being forced upon us here.
About the track, DC says:
Neighbourhood is a reflection of my environment. Almost a detailed diary of experiences I’ve had in the ends and the results of that – whether good or bad. It addresses several issues but all centres around one thing of being ‘out here til it kills me, I’m gonna get the job done, I’m gonna keep going’. I’ve taken some time to live life outside of the studio and now I’m ready to return and it shows in the music. I’m feeling aligned in myself but at a higher level so let’s get it.
Enjoy a listen to “Neighbourhood” with the official music video, which is posted below.
Back in March Local Natives performed Sunlit Youth track “Dark Days” live on Jimmy Kimmel that featured Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Meath joining them on guest vocals.
Today the band dropped an official studio version of this collaboration that we are certainly happy exists. Find both bands comments on the team-up posted below:
Local Natives:
“Dark Days” is a loose homage to growing up in Southern California: first loves, sneaking out, finding your our own way —all while trying to outrun religious guilt. The song has become integral to our band and our live shows. We last played it live on Kimmel a little over 2 months ago, which now feels like a distant memory from a bizarre alternate reality. Despite the looming anxiety of those final pre-quarantine days, that performance felt especially cathartic for us and was made all the more poignant by having Amelia on stage with us. She not only lent us her incredible voice but she wrote a beautiful new verse that taps into the nostalgia and the longing we all feel for a different time.“
Amelia Meath:
“It was a joy to dip into summertime with Local Natives- Dark Days is a beautiful illustration of being young, riding bikes, and trying to figure out how to love on and be vulnerable with someone. It was an honor to be asked to write a new verse and lend my voice to the story.”

Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter David Ramirez wowed us last month with the release of his track “I Wanna Live In Your Bedroom.”
He’s since announced that he has a brand new album on the way entitled My Love Is A Hurricane, which is set to release on July 17 via Sweetworld Records / Thirty Tigers.
Today we have the brand new single and title track, which is a larger scale and more orchestrated effort from his latest single, but one that puts his soulful vocals on full display.
Enjoy a listen to the new track below.
Excepchonal is an activist, poet, writer, and rapper from Columbus, Ohio. She recently caught our attention with the release of her brand new single “Theez Lynez.”
The track instantly soothes the soul with some ultra chill beats and colorful production elements that pave the way for her thoughtful lyricism to shine through. There’s a smart jazzy nature to the track that feels a bit different from a lot of the crop of present-day hip-hop, with Excepchonal confidently rising to the task of offering a personal commentary that stands out.

Gaspard Eden is a Candian artist who is preparing for the release of his new album Soft Power.
Today we are sharing the newly released single and title track, “Soft Power.” The track captures a dreamy sense of melancholy that suits his sound, something between a folk-inspired rock sound that goes for a much bigger approach.

Phoebe Bridgers will return with her new album Punisher, which will be released on June 19th via Dead Oceans. She’s already shared both “Kyoto” and “Garden Song” from the album and she’s most recently returned with third single, “I See You.”
Originally entitled “ICU,” the song’s spelling was changed to “I See You and is actually about her break-up from her drummer Marshall Vore, who she co-wrote the song with. It’s a sprawling take on the sound that Bridgers created on her debut, with a more expansive reach than before, but it doesn’t stray too far from the sound that listeners fell in love with.

Tonight Wilco released a brand new song entitled “Tell Your Friends” after frontman Jeff Tweedy performed a lovely performance of “Jesus, Etc.” for Colbert.
The track definitely captures the spirit of present times and has a smooth chill vibe to it that could’ve fit on their most recent album, Ode To Joy.
“Tell Your Friends” is currently available to stream on their Bandcamp, with all proceeds being donated to World Central Kitchen.
