Artist: Shana Cleveland
Song: Faces in the Firelight
Album: Manzanita
This hazy, relaxing orchestral-pop tune is the first taste of Shana Cleveland’s upcoming album, Manzanita, out March 10! The music video has a perfectly dreamy, colourful aesthetic to match the song. Shana says of the video: “we created a fantasy realm in my backyard to visualize the sweet strangeness of the time and place when I wrote these songs: pregnant and often alone in the wilderness.”

Artist: Purr
Song: The Natural
Psych-pop duo Purr has infused their new single with a charming country twang.

Of course, there’s some love involved too…”
