dweller. – “In Passing”

Country: US

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist: The entire EP and especially this song explores loss and the feeling of being overwhelmed by emotions–grief, love, loneliness, hope, & longing after the passing of a loved one by using a template of moody, simmering alt rock. Our desire is that people going through a similar situation have the same cathartic experience we did while creating this.

Starpainter – “Summer In Your Mouth”

Country: Canada

Genre: Singer-Songwriter

Words From the Artist: “The title of this song references an Al Purdy poem called ‘Transient’ about travelling across Canada by train as an adolescent. The opening lines are about crossing the prairies “so close to the violent sway of the fields it’s like running and running naked with the summer in your mouth.” I borrowed that line as a starting point for this song. ‘Summer in Your Mouth’ ended up taking on themes I didn’t originally set out to write about–it turned into a song about seasonal depression and trying to make it through the long dark cold prairie winter. This song is an ode to summer that I wrote in the dead of winter.”
