New Music from the Inbox: Mother Mother, Angelo De Augustine, Benee and more!
Artist: Angelo De Augustine
Song: Memory Palace
Album: Toil and Trouble
This ethereal, dreamy, beautifully textured music is from from Angelo De Augustine’s new album, Toil and Trouble, out now! De Augustine says that this new album “came from thinking about the madness of the world right now and how overwhelming that can be. I used a sort of counter-world as a guide to try to gain some understanding of what’s actually going on here – I had to take myself out of reality in order to try to understand reality.”

Artist: Benee feat. Mallrat
Song: Do It Again
Energetic and anthemic, it makes perfect sense that this indie rock song was chosen to be the official song of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023!

Artist: Mother Mother
Song: Normalize
Of this dramatic, gripping new alt-pop single, lead singer Ryan Guldemond says “’Normalize’ is about the metaphorical death which occurs when we’re not being ourselves; the deadening of the spirit when trying to appease some external framework of so-called normalcy. Ideally, it’s an anthem for the outcast. We’re very fortunate to look out at our audience to see such a wealth of uniqueness. This song is our way of telling our people to keep being themselves, whatever that means to them. What is normal? We don’t know, and I’m not sure we care.”
