Rabii Harnoune and V.B.Kühl‘s “Koyo Koyo” blends Moroccan Gnawa music with electronic elements to create a completely unique listening experience. The recent collaboration between Moroccan Gnawa-master Rabii Harnoune and Frankfurt electronic producer V.B.Kühl exemplifies what the future of music could be, if we’re lucky. Mixing Gnawa music (the Moroccan art form that combines songs, rhythms, music, and dancing) with modern club …

“heights” is taken from Credit Electric‘s upcoming album, out of love in the face of a shadow, due out October 14 via Royal Oakie Records. When listening to Credit Electric, it may come as a surprise that the band formed by songwriter Ryan LoPilato and guitarist Cameron Iturri-Carpenter is originally from the Bay Area.

The most dreamy and ethereal Anna St. Louis announces her return with the debut single, “Phone,” from upcoming LP In The Air, a name most suiting of St. Louis’s gossamer sounds. At first listen, this album is more dynamic than the stark beauty of previous records (not to dismiss either- it’s new and fresh, like… air!); less …

We talk about his 2019 album No Winners in the Blues which was just re-issued on wax on Full Spectrum Records. Wes is a unique songwriter and this album is especially unique as a departure from his usual literary style of writing character songs. No Winners is intensely personal, stark, and as textural as the pairing of Wes’s gorgeous acoustic …
