Pale Lights’ music is a bit of retro loveliness! Jean, Bring The Flowers is from the band’s very latest EP of the same name (November 2017) and also included on the band’s brand new long-player, The Stars Seem Brighter (December 2017) that is just full of more spot-on jangly goodness! Musically, the band reminds me of The Bats, but only in the jangle-pop style. It was reminiscent enough, that I had to go listen to that Bats track again, just to be sure. This is feel-good pop music…

(Serious XM, are you listening?). Here, the duo covers When A Knight Won…
Read MoreNote: The original video is no longer available. Here is an audio-only version: Infectious, rhythmic, and talented, UK singer/songwriter Bud makes clear her intention to be heard above the noise in the music world – And so she should, given her vocal chops and melody mastering seen and heard here on City Bird, the title track of her April 2017 EP. Bud is just getting started and for that reason, there isn’t a ton of information out there. You can get a bit of information by…
Read MoreThose who follow Vodka (you are out there, right?) should know that we have a deep love of harmonies, and female group harmonies are all the better.
