MAWK3 – “Supernatural”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Supernatural is the debut single from the Los Angeles band MAWK3, set to drop in June of 2024 on Seraphim records. The song is about when life or love or circumstances seem too good to be true, partially in a “pinch myself” way and partially in a skeptical/cynical way.”

Auric Echoes – “Body Song”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “”Body Song” is Auric Echoes a their most energetic and in-your-face. Taking inspiration from dark club, industrial, and house music, the band explores a more unsettling side of their sound. The vocals sound too close for comfort, with lyrics detailing themes of sexuality and bodily autonomy in an unnervingly biological way. Pounding bass, eclectic and noisy guitars, and driving percussion have all made this track a fan-favorite at live shows.”

Thadeus Gonzalez – “Here In Oakland”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “Here In Oakland is about a rough time where everything crashed down around me,” Gonzalez says. “It took me some time to reflect and write this song. It was about what I lost and how I wasn’t gonna be there for some relationships anymore. They all had enough of me. Dealing with that and knowing I couldn’t hide in another city made it very obvious things had to change—not just my location.”

Halfway Down – “Never Coming Back”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “This is the vague story of what happened to me after high school. I fled my home state of AZ after my longtime girlfriend (the first girl I ever dated) broke up with me. In a broad sense, this songs about moving on from anything in your life. It could be anything from a bad job to distancing yourself from a toxic relationship.”

Great Klons – “Twilight Gardener”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: “A Motorik beat, woozy organ, and metronomic bass and guitars anchor this track that is a throwback to the days of 00s indie bands like Broadcast, The National, and Broken Social Scene. The lyrics touch upon the anxiety of maintaining a normal domestic life as the world appears increasingly unstable.”

The Kangaroos – “Blood on my T-shirt”

numb talking – “sunflower”

Country: Canada

Words From the Artist/PR: “There’s something hopeful about sunflowers. For sufian m, he imbues a lifelong wish to feel “real” on the song “sunflower.” It’s about flirting with someone, trying to connect, trying to make meaning of self and someone else, and using each other. The song captures the temporary privilege to do so during a time when the world felt like it was finally fully collapsing, and there was something overwhelming about that.”

Whippets – “Uncrowned”

Country: US
