Artist: FIDLAR
Album: Too

Off of their highly anticipated sophomore album, Too, FIDLAR’S “West Coast” ups the ante for this California based garage punk quartet. As raucous as ever, the song trades off between glimmers of hope and mind numbing suburban boredom.

Off of their current EP Errances, “Nuit Numero Un” from francophone duo Bronswick could easily draw comparisons to acts like The Knife and Purity Ring.

Artist: Yassou “Fall Again”
Album: Single

“Fall Again” is the most recent installment in a series of five video releases from Yassou. According to the band, the project was created for “people who aren’t afraid to be overcome by emotion, praise or disgust, confusion or ambiguity, or to be consumed by an idea, or thought.”
