Cool Pop Songs #9

Daily tunes

Every year Feral One opens up their demo submissions for a brief window, and only for Seattle area producers. It’s the world's window opportunity to hear who and what is going down in Seattle right now. 

This third volume has Longstocking kicking it off with their introspective indie vibes, which is often an underlying staple of Seattle music, regardless the genre. Like the track states, it’s a cutie, but with a moody inner coating. 

Next, I.S.H. levels up the energy bringing searing emerald heat with Bring It. It’s a banger Bass House track that will yank you from your thoughts, and toss you onto the dance floor. You’ll hear more from I.S.H. on FO come Winter. 

OG Feral One, EMUH, then leads us from “WTF?” to “F*ck yeah!”, which is a cunning balance this gem of a human has on lock. Fickle falls together in a way that tickles the mind. Its squeaks and tinges of old school will have your legs kicking and your heart swooning. 

Next, Jon Lee, a Seattle institution, goes Deep on the House track, Voyager. The purity of the synths and the tropical droning are magnetic, lulling you to something we now know we needed. 

A fitting transition to good old fashioned proper House is what Move Machine gifts us with Perfume Department. Wafting through, enticing us with the pulsing aroma of yesterday and the precision producing of today. 

Easily one of Seattle’s most talented dance duos, Lee Houser, gets Deep with Propera. While the perks ignite your hips into mode, the steady coolness of the bass keeps you hazed in. Brass stabs briefly wake you, to acknowledge the fact that you never want this jam to end. 

New duo to press their stamp on Seattle underground history is Intemporel Chốc Lát. Their track, I Just Wanted To Let You Know, wraps up this year's volume. Minimal, Deep and looming, this piece lets us know they are here and bringing a fresh heaviness to Seattle's ever divergent soundscape.

Lyrics:
God dammit, I'm rash.
Get hurt end up lashing back.
And I hate myself for that.
Being okay with my choices never lasts.

Why must I feel this longing
For a sense of belonging 
Seem to be always seeking approval from those who disapprove most
Everyone I know
And anywhere I go
I feel like I still haven't found a place where I'll be truly missed

My biggest fear was always being rejected
Cause when you're all alone the silence is deafening
And if you hate yourself how can you expect them to accept you for who you are 

Why must I always want to
Be loved by everyone in the room
No matter the people, no matter the circumstance, their stares cut me deep
And when I'm all by myself
I try to figure it out
But I still crack under the pressure each and every time

My biggest fear was always being rejected
Cause when you're all alone the silence is deafening 
And if you hate yourself how can you expect them to accept you for who you are 

And I'm wishing I could end this
Exorcise this need to be
Loved universally 
And I've come to realize
I'm beginning to see
The approval I need is that of me
But I still always feel hard to love 
Cause people turn their backs as soon as shit gets hard 
And I've come to learn it gets quieter the tougher it gets
And that's still something I'll always struggle to accept

Why are you still on my mind?
I'm a man of my word I'll keep my promise this time.
Why are you still on my mind?
I'm a man of my word I'll keep my promise this time.

My Desire

"SUNSET" is the follow-up to Allen’s debut album "BLUE", while "BLUE" captured the sweet and vibrant feeling of falling in love. "SUNSET" dives deep into the loneliness and heartbreak that come after love fades. This album tells the story of a love that couldn’t last—a relationship that ended and can never return. 
Unlike the bright beginnings in "BLUE", "SUNSET" carries a more melancholic tone, painting the bittersweet beauty of an ending that hurts. How tragic, yet how honest.

Island Cat Dream

Berry for Bears - Island Cat Dream

Ghost Nation’s new single, Unholy, is a haunting yet empowering anthem that explores the thin line between light and darkness, holiness and sin. The track builds on Ghost Nation’s signature blend of cinematic pop and modern rock, with pulsating synths, soaring melodies, and a vocal performance that moves between vulnerability and raw power. Unholy is both intimate and monumental, inviting the listener into a ritual of desire, release, and transcendence.

Lyrically, it explores the inner struggle between temptation and salvation, with the chorus refrain “Unholy thoughts to stay alive” resonating as both confession and liberation, while verses such as “Every second we’re closer to a sin” capture the paradox of dancing on the edge of sacred and profane.
