Maggie Rogers – That’s Where I Am
- Happy birthday to Maggie Rogers, born on this date 29 years ago.
- After Pharrell discovered her while an artist in residence at NYU, in 2018 and later 2019 with the release of Heard It In A Past Life, Rogers had a genuine breakout moment, and is a genuine star nowadays playing sold out headliner shows all over the world but still has the cred with fellow artists of all levels.
- That opening tune was from last year’s Surrender LP, and wishing the best to Maggie Rogers today.
Scotch Mist – Around
- One of our favorites out of NYC is back with this new single as of last weekend.
- The band actually puts out some great videos for young artists as to marketing their music if you’d like to go and check it out. Very interesting tips and ideas for new things they’ve tried to get more ears on their music as opposed to say, radio.
bar italia – punkt
- This is a trio out of London currently on a UK tour.
- Not a lot of info on the band, but they do have two album releases thus far from 2020 and 2021, with this being part of a 7” single released over the weekend with a cut called Nurse on the flip.
Swiss Portrait – Before
- For those unfamiliar although this is an artist we’ve featured quite a bit here on the show for what’s that worth, this is the solo project of Michael Kay Terrance, who’s based in Edinburgh.
- This one’s just a standalone tune for now, hoping there’s an album or EP coming up.
Osla – Afternoon
- This is the latest from an artist who we have very little bio info on anywhere, but this is a tune that definitely caught our ears this weekend.
- This would be the self-described slow pop artist’s latest single, and it’s basically been all singles since debut in 2018.
Jude Shuma – Don’t Wnna Tlk About It
- A little more bio here, a little more history on the show, and this artist is based in Chicago who describes their sound as psyche lo fi pop music blended with depression wave soul.
- Very dreamy tune right here, just a standalone for now, but do check the latest of their three career albums, released in 2021 & called Suzy Space Cadet.
Sweet & Lonely – Ghost
- A short jaunt further north to the Twin Cities up in Minnesota here.
- This is the solo project of Nick Elstad, who’s been around since 2020 and just standalones thus far in a very young career.
