Artists Worth Checking Out indie music Monday Mashup Singles and Videos

Monday mashup 2019: vol. 30

Well, it’s official – we are now residents of Midwest City, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City.  We move into our new apartment tomorrow, although most of our stuff is still in storage in Missoula, Montana, where it will stay until the spring when the snow leaves and it is safe to move it.  Until then, we will get by on borrowed items and cheap substitutes, but we have the essentials we need.  Hopefully, our work schedules will become more firm and we will be able to schedule time to get back to regular posts here on Indie Voice Blog.  We ask for your patience until we are truly “back to normal.”

Last week we attended the Andy Grammer concert, and will be posting our review tomorrow.  In the meantime, here are five new singles and music videos from some amazing indie artists.

NEW SINGLES

Our first single this week will drop tomorrow, but we are giving you a sneak preview of it today.  We love the dreamy sound of Doter Sweetly, who were previously known as Grandpa Grew Trees.  We reviewed their last album, and are pleased to share the new sound of the band contained in their latest single, “Baby Boy.”  Let us know what you think.

Next up is a beautiful cover of The Rolling Stones‘ classic song, “As Tears go By” from LA Music Critic Award winners and Blue Élan Records artists Mustangs of the West.  This song has never sounded better.

Single number three comes from down under and features the folk sound of Eric Prod.  The single is called “From me to you (part 2),” and we love it.  This one would do well in our Americana market.

Next up is A Choir of Ghosts from Scandinavia with an idyllic folk sound that would do quite well in the American folk/Americana scene.  Check out “An Ounce of Gold” and let us know what you think.

Our final single is from BINX, one of the most unique indie artists in LA.  Her latest is called “Milk,” and we need to hear this sweet song on Top 40 radio.  This one is deserves repeated listens.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

Our first music video is a simply beautiful arrangement by one of our favorite LA indie artists who is usually known more for her rocking sound than as a mellow songwriter.  We love the creative growth she shows in her latest project, “Return Home,” and think you will likewise fall in love with Abby Posner.

Our next video is short and sweet and gives us just a taste of the brilliance that is Jay Katana.  His concept for “Letter From Child” has has salivating over the release of his next project.  Enjoy this dark sweet tidbit.

Video number three is from the dreamy Kat Cunning and is equally as cinematic and dramatic as her soaring vocals.  We think this one would be great on the radio and would be perfect for placement in movies and television.  Check out “For the Love.”

Video number four is from another LA Music Critic Award winner, Dree Mon, and is as equally dance-compelling as her last two videos.  Get up and dance to the sound of “When it Goes Down.”  We guarantee you won’t be able to sit down for this one.

Our final video this week is an animated one from People Club for their song, “Kil Scott.”  This one is a keeper, and we suggest you put it on repeat.

Monday mashup 2019: vol. 2 (updated)

That was an exciting weekend of football, and the top four teams all made it through without an upset.  We are comfortable with either Kansas City, Los Angeles or New Orleans in the Superbowl, as long as New England stays home.  Who do you want to see in the Superbowl?

THE NAMM SHOW COMES TO ANAHEIM

The annual winter NAMM show will return to Southern California next week, January 24-27.  This is the big trade show for musicians and others involved in the music business.  Many local indie musicians will be performing on one of the main stages, in individual vendor booths or at the evening concerts at the Hilton, Marriott and Sheraton Hotels.  Music begins on Wednesday evening and runs through the late Sunday afternoon.  Among the artists scheduled to perform in the evening concerts are several we have featured here, including Gigi Rich, Satellite Citi, Static and Surrender, Warren Sellers, Love and a .38, Chi McLean, and three offerings of the Tim Moyer Songwriters Round, each with different songwriters.  Wish we could be there.  You can find the performance schedules by clicking here.

ALICE WALLACE CD RELEASE SHOW

Alice Wallace will be celebrating the upcoming release of her new CD Into the Blue on January 18 with a CD Release Show at the No Name Bar (432 N. Fairfax Avenue) in Los Angeles on Thursday, January 17 at 9 p.m.  The concert is FREE.  Find out more about Ms. Wallace in her Women in Entertainment interview to be published later today.

NEW SINGLES

Our first single this week comes from The Spider Accomplice, winners of multiple LA Music Critic Awards.  It is a cover of the 30 Seconds to Mars hit “Hurricane,” and has already been added to the A Star is Born Soundtrack (Target Deluxe) playlist on Spotify.  We think this one is another winner for the Arachnids.

Next is an artist we met at last year’s LA Music Critic Award Winners Showcase.  She goes by the name of BINX and her music is pure dance magic.  Check out her latest single, “Space DJ.”

Our third single comes from UK artist Charlie Hole, who we introduced back in October in our Ten Great Singles monthly list.  We love his voice and the easy jazzy-pop feel of his single “Ordinary Man.”  We think you will too.

Single number four comes from the Arizona-based band Chateau Chateau, and is a rocking tune called “Evidence.”  We think the title is perfect, because the song proves that this band has arrived.

Our final single for this week comes from Blue Élan Records artist The Vegabonds, whose new album will be released and reviewed on Friday.  Check out the sweet southern rock sounds of “Best I Can.”

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

Up first this week is a lyric video from Whisperado for their song “Bang One Out.”  it has some serious political images, but a great beat supports the tune, and makes us want to hear more from them.  Let us know what you think.

Our next video was shot in barren Siberia and features the rap rhymes of Alex Dutty for his song “Imagine.”  Please note this one is explicit.

Video number three is a new wave synth song from The New Division entitled “Jealous.”  We introduced them to you last March in our Ten Great Singles column, and think they have a great future.  We also think it’s a great way to start the week.

Our next video is taken from the Sound Gallery Sessions.  Episode 5 features an amazing instrumental tune from Daniel Brandt & Eternal Something for their song “Cherry Dream.”  Sit back and enjoy this one.

We close out the week with “Los Angeles,” a stunning video with the smooth sound of Luke Sital-Singh.  He recently left the UK for the golden shores of California, and all we can say is “Welcome home.”  Grab your coffee and enjoy this one, which should ease your transition to a new week.
