are we?

slenderbodies

Alright fine, you caught us. We’re featuring another EP and not an album. WHATEVER, you’ll be happy we did. “are we?” is a the latest masterpiece from California-based indie-pop duo, slenderbodies. This project is dreamy af and primarily features the duo’s falsetto voices leading listeners into a hazy atmosphere of synthy goodness. Like many works over the past year, this EP was created in the midst of COVID lockdown, but instead of being quarantined together, Max and Benji were in separate cities. This forced the duo to adopt an atypical working style where they ended up sending each other voice memos and zoom recordings of song in progress, with one picking up where the other left off. Despite their disjointed arrangement, the project comes across as seamless with each tune naturally transitioning into the next. So kick back, chill, and drift away into the dream-pop world of slenderbodies!

Lamp City

Cam Meekins

Let’s take a trip back to the early 2010’s to an era where underground rappers were releasing mixtapes that were breaking into top chart positions. Meekins grew up in Boston during the frat rap heyday with artists like Sammy Adams and Asher Roth rising to peak popularity. Unlike his New England contemporaries, Meekins delivers a much less sensational project, one that feels much more raw in a good way. Heck, you could tell me the album was exclusively produced via Garage Band and I wouldn’t bat an eye. No crazy auto-tune or excessive production here, just some solid underlying beats and Meekins over the top effortlessly delivering bar after bar, seemingly without breaking a sweat. Mainly downtempo, Lamp City is relaxing wok that is an easy listen for all. Bonus Content: Check out this article from the Boston Globe breaking down Meekins’ style and sources of inspiration.

It Won't Always Be Like This

Inhaler

Elijah Hewson, the lead singer of Inhaler, is Bono’s son! Yes. Bono! That really doesn’t have much to do with this album, but that’s entertaining to know and makes it worth a listen just for the ability to spit that fun fact to your car full of people who never asked for a fun fact about Inhaler. It Won’t Always Be Like This is rock straight out of Dublin Ireland. It’s an album created for the band to just absolutely jam out at a concert. It’s an album that Inhaler fans are loving and sets this band up with a solid debut foundation to build off of for years to come. Listen to this new album if you like upbeat rock with a slow-moving changeup thrown in here and there.

According to Rolling Stone, these guys have been together a long time. They started as a teenage talent show band and now have their debut album with tens of millions of streams. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for my juggling career to take off. Stay tuned.

Misterwives

Misterwives only make hits and those hits you can't help but sing along and sway your hips to. These are the rules. I don't make the rules, I'm just here to share the rules. SUPERBLOOM is no exception to the aforementioned rules. The music is fun, playful and doesn't take itself too seriously but still manages to get across some serious emotion on many of their songs. The Album SUPERBLOOM was released last summer on Fueled by Ramen record label which we're happy to announce is the official winner of the 2021 Album Daily Best Record Label Name Annual Award. Congratulations! Fueled by Ramen's first act they signed was Jimmy Eat World and they've since signed such acts as Paramore, Twenty One Pilots and Panic! At the Disco. 

'MisterWives'  is a gender-flipped play on the term for the practice of polygamy, sister wives. The band first formed when lead singer Mandy Lee wanted an 80s cover band at her birthday party and when she couldn't find one, she took it upon herself.
