Since I recently discovered the music of London-based indie singer-songwriter Charlie Cunningham, I've found myself regularly listening to most of his musical back catalog over the past week. This is some truly impressive and stunning songwriting, performance and vocal delivery - I wonder how I hadn't encountered his music sooner. New singles "Sink In" and "Permanent Way", produced by Sam Scott and Duncan Tootill, are presumably preludes to a forthcoming album or EP release.

From one listen to the opening track of Follow, the debut album from emerging London-based, Swedish singer-songwriter Malin Andersson, you know you're about to embark on one mesmerizing and truly magical musical journey. The eleven reflective tracks that comprise this outstanding album paint an elegant and expansive soundscape that conjures up sensations and images of crisp ocean breezes, rolling waves and windswept clouds. Fingerstyle acoustic guitar, cello, and minimal, emo

"Window Seat", the new single from Nashville-based singer-songwriter Angel Snow, is a stunningly beautiful and delicate musical ray of hope that speaks to getting through the difficult times. I first fell in love with Angel's mesmerizing, emotive vocals and songwriting when I first heard Magnetic (2017), her breathtaking and most recent full-length album. The reflective, atmospheric "Window Seat" is a testament to "less is more" from a musical production perspective - the end

I don't have one method or formula for discovering new music and bands. Most often, I discover a lot from social media posts, blogs and articles I read, the occasional plug or FYI from bands and musicians I already listen to, and some pretty awesome submissions to this music blog. A few weeks ago, I decided to give my 'Discover Weekly' Spotify playlist a listen on the drive home from work. That's when I first heard "Sparrow" from a band called Jump, Little Children. I don't t

Bristol-based indie singer-songwriter Fenne Lily's debut album, On Hold, is one of those gorgeous, rare musical masterpieces that I could seriously listen to for hours on end. A thing of genuine musical beauty, the ten delicate and personal stories on this album speak directly to your soul and lightly tug at your heart strings. At the forefront, you'll immediately discover unpretentious and genuine songwriting adorned with Fenne's soft, smoky and velvety vocals and outstandin

Where there is good balance, there is harmony. Taking in a well-balanced variety of music can be as enjoyable to some as savoring a smooth, well-balanced wine. Half and Half, the new EP from Chicago/Toronto-based indie musician Deanna Devore is the musical equivalent of that incredibly well-balanced wine - smooth, velvety and complex, with elegant finesse. As the title suggests, Half and Half presents two different, but complementary musical styles juxtaposed and blended acro

Following the release of his debut single, "The Getaway", Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and producer Ben Rice ushers the changing of the seasons on this first day of Fall with his reflective new single, "Autumn Days". Teaming up once again with Pete Remm (piano, mellotron), Greg Wieczorek (drums, percussion), "Autumn Days" starts with gently-strummed acoustic guitar, and sparse, well-placed sprinkling of piano to ease the listener into the hope and anxiety surrounding the

Morning Myth is the new collaborative music project of guitarist Ross King and singer Aimee Herbert-Smith (a.k.a. Mere Child). According to the band's website, it was a mutual admiration for Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, John Martyn, and Fleetwood Mac that brought this UK duo together at the start of 2018. Delivering a soothing, ethereal blend of acoustic dream/indie-pop, Morning Myth has already released two stunning singles ("Murmur" and "Blurred Lines & Mysteries") in their sho

Let It Be A Dream is the entrancing new album from Silver Torches, the musical project of Seattle-based singer-songwriter Erik Walters. Clocking in at just under 35 minutes, Let It Be A Dream presents nine stunning tracks that hover somewhere between the musical genres of Americana and indie pop, with subtle hints of country. I first learned about this album (and the band, for that matter) on the "Discover" section of Bandcamp. After just one listen to the featured album trac

A few weeks ago, I was flipping through those little Instagram Stories you find near the top of the app, and viewed a clip from a recent Sofar Sounds NYC show that caught my attention. It was a short video showing a stunning acoustic performance from a musician named @jukeross. After a quick internet search, I discovered that this was Guayanese singer-songwriter Juke Ross performing his impressive debut single, "Colour Me." What's there not to like about this song? It's reall
