Silver Relics — Tails
New York-based psych-rock band Silver Relics release the catchy “Tails.” Formed in late 2017 by songwriter Alex Sepassi, Silver Relics have their roots in classics rock spiced with a flurry of modern elements. The result is a highly pleasing melange of sounds and vibes. Asked about “Trails,” Sepassi says:
“Tails” is inspired by the instinctive aspects of humanity and the nonverbal communication we use daily. Those random encounters we come across every day and the body language that ensues. It’s about identifying the animal and…

Mayuko — Imaginary Bubbles
In “Imaginary Bubbles,” the acoustic bass guides you through a fantastic, swirling soundscape. This sonic sculpture is created by the German artists Michelle Cheung, Kasia Kadlubowska and Rebecca Mauch, who record as Mayuko. The trio comes from classical music but has turned to electronics and jazz to blend experimental but accessible pop.

“Imagine strolling through your day riding a visual rainbow of musical notes and seeing the space around you come alive. Let all your perceptions and…

sir Was — I Wanna Feel Like That
What does a song with a title like “I Wanna Feel Like That” sound like? It should be likable, no? The new super chill single by Gothenburg’s sir Was starts on a high, blissful note and keeps the positive momentum going until the very end. We also dig the joyful video, directed by sir Was aka Joel Wästberg and Damien Priest. Throughout the video, the groovy feel-good vibes just multiply. …
Data safety for the Apple, Google, and Adobe Clouds
All important data can be stored in the cloud these days. If all local data is wiped out for whatever reason, I would just need a new computer, and everything is back. This is a comforting thought.
But what if the data in the cloud is wiped out? It is very, very unlikely that any big cloud providers would easily lose data, but it is not impossible. If you have stored all data locally, then it is no problem: just upload everything again.
But do you have all data available locally? All cloud services allow selectively download data so that…

TEOA — Push Back
“Push Back,” the new song of East Coast folk-rock trio TEOA works on two levels: it tells the story of being accidentally connected to a global tragedy and yet helpless to do anything against it. But the track also shows that something can be done, for example, using music to create moments of unity and common sense that will, drip by drip, change the status quo.
Singer James Downes about the roots of the song:
“I had band practice in Newtown, CT on December 14…

88/89 — Bite the Bullet
Awww — I remember 1988 and 1989 well, but contrary to Michael Hornby (vocals) and Jack James (guitar), neither of these two years were the one I was born in. In 88/89’s case, though, their birth years not only make for a cool band name but also set the tone musically: hard-hitting drums meet alluring synth-pop, stunning guitar work, and killer vocals.
In its irresistible vibe and brilliance, “Bite the Bullet” evokes Bronski Beat’s smash hit “Smalltown Boy.” While the latter addresses homosexuality and acceptance…
