Here are this week’s tracks:
“Night At The Opera” – Emei
Raising the curtain on what promises to be an unforgettable creative era, acclaimed Chinese-American alternative pop singer/songwriter Emei unveils a deliciously dramatic and dynamic new single “Night At The Opera” – this is the first offering from her forthcoming Night At The Opera EP arriving June 12th. We saw EMEI perform last year at All Things Go Toronto and she holds an undeniable star power that shines through on this single. Pre-order/pre-save her upcoming EP HERE.
“Sound of You” – Post Sex Nachos
Indie rock outfit Post Sex Nachos have released their new single “Sound of You,” available now on all streaming platforms. “Sound of You” is a classic indie rock track with an instantly catchy chorus, and listeners will absolutely have “I can only pick out the sound of you,” stuck in their heads. Hailing from the Midwest, Post Sex Nachos have built a reputation for turning life’s heaviest feelings into something you can dance to, blending genre-bending energy with humor, heart, and emotional honesty. Listen HERE.
“Kleptomaniac,” – corook
corook gets real today with their latest single, “Kleptomaniac,” available now via Atlantic Records HERE. The groundbreaking alternative pop artist began teasing the track last week with live performance clips alongside their band that have quickly caught attention online. A bold anthem of self-reclamation with gang vocals and collective energy, “Kleptomaniac” centers on choosing authenticity and unapologetically embracing what makes you different, even when it makes others uncomfortable.
“Your Way,” – The Moss
With an eclectic sound that echoes both ‘60s surf-rock, the pure melodic joy of the Beatles, reggae’s danceable island rhythms and a hard-edged ‘90s emo aesthetic, The Moss take their cue from the outdoors, both Utah’s towering peaks and Hawaii’s tropical surf. They broke through with the four-song Insomnia EP, leading the way with more than 25 million streams, the title track has landed on Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 chart with major support from Sirius XM’s Alt Nation. Their latest irresistible single “Your Way” “is about how everyone has certain ideas on how life should be lived but they’re all just ideas, and you shouldn’t listen to everything people tell you.” The single is off of their forthcoming full-length album Big Blue Moon out April 24th.
