Last week was crazy on our end, running around trying to get all the cool songs out, not to mention trying to cover some of the SXSW stuff we’d promise to get out from artists like Bodega and Smut. Ran a few solid premieres too, so be sure to focus on Magana and House of Heaven. You’ll also find new Lunchbox, Mirrorball, Good Looks and many more. Plus, Fantastic Purple Spots dropped a video HERE, so it gave us another chance to remind you of their gifts! Stream al the hits from last week below!

From//October Shares Again + Releases As Time Went By

March 8, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Dutch songwriter Dion Tiktak has won us over with his carefully crafted pieces for From//October; today you’ll finally get to hear the entirety of the As Time Went By EP. On the latest single, there’s a bit more of a sleepy feel to the craft, which makes sense as the song’s dealing with lost memories and grief. Tiktak still has this comforting curl on his vocal notes, which is something that continues to draw me towards his work. Admittedly, “Somewhere Quiet” is the standout gem on this EP, but be sure to indulge in the whole, as it feels like its truly meant to exist as a collective piece.

From//October Shares I Feel Like Something Is Changing

September 29, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

If you’re going to namedrop Radio Dept, you better be able to back that up, which I definitely think From//October was able to do on this fresh single. There’s a bit more pop-centric leaning, in terms of the production, but I think that actually does a great job to allow for the bubbling nature to rise above in the mix. Still, the draw should, or was for me, the vocal performance; it maintains this pleasant softness that feels both familiar and other-worldly. There’s also this brilliant emphatic kick at the end of the tune, so be sure you stick around there for the reward. Be warned that a new EP with this same quality is on its way!

Last Week’s Jams (7.24 – 7.28)

July 31, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We may have gone a bit overboard last week, as I see that we covered over 25 different tunes last week. But, that being said, we also ran some gosh-darned freaking hits. I loved that new jam from Split System, and have played it well over 50 times at this point. That, and that new track from Prewn pretty much made my week. I mean, there’s new stuff from Woods, Night Drive and all sorts bonus EP coverage for Death Bells and Bedroom Eyes. Plenty of stuff to dig into, so why not get on it, eh?

From//October Share Somewhere Quiet

July 28, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Dutch songwriter Dion Tiktak’s From//October project is a really great way to escape the mundane details of the end of times we’re facing. There’s a lightness to his craft, allowing you completely let loose, take that magic carpet ride wherever your mind chooses to travel. For me, you’ll find some similarities to earlier stuff that came from Peel Dream Magazine, albeit with a bit more of a melodic drive here, allowing the crispness to really hit those notes that allow for emotional escapism we’re all seeking from our favorite tunes. Delve into Dion’s work and escape the day!
