“Heart Shaped Locket” is a cold splash of water to the face for anyone who is chronically sentimental to a fault. It’s about desperately trying to keep every moment and person from your past close to your chest, layered around your neck like hundreds of heart shaped lockets. Sometimes going down memory lane doesn’t feel like sweetly opening those lockets and admiring the photos inside, but rather like someone pulling on those chains from behind and choking you with nostalgia. “Heart Shaped Locket” sneaks hard lessons about how growing up is learning to let go into an almost “Keith Urban if he made indie folk” level bop. With anthemic gang vocals about learning how to make friends with time, the ending of the song will leave you feeling like you are sticking your head out of a moon roof like Emma Watson in the Perks of Being A Wallflower.

Heart Shaped Locket

Lightheaded's urgent, thrillingly fresh take on 60s/80s indiepop shines brightly on their debut album "Combustible Gems" and perhaps nowhere more so than on their new single "Bright Happy Girls." What starts as 60s folk/garage pop of the Teenage Shutdown persuasion dissolves into a tumbling, almost chaotic rush of guitars and vocals that go in and out of harmony. The overall effect strongly evokes the wild flush of secret crushes and new loves, the giddy optimism and delicious confusion.

Still In There Somewhere

Don't Let Your Love (Let You Down)

“you could close your eyes and be pelting through the stars… Slowdive with a Neil Halstead like lead vocals… There are hints of Ride too… Moon Cowboy have done ever so well here”

This early review caught what I wanted “baby jane” to sound like so well - a quintessential shoegaze summer anthem. If the last single “beehive” was me experimenting with some electronica, “baby jane” is all about going back to that 14 year old listening to Ride’s Nowhere for the first time and realizing an electric guitar and a great melody could change someone’s world. It sure did change mine.

If you like my work, I would love to connect and hear from you - other bands you're listening to, your story or just say hi. Reach out on social media or send me a direct message.

You & I

Don't sleep on my luv

Writing songs is what Linn Koch-Emmery does, and writing great ones is what’s made her name in music - short, sharp indie-rock rollercoasters that come packed with killer choruses that are easy on the ear and easy to love. Those songs have won her fans, taken her on tour around the world and established her as one of her Sweden’s brightest talents. Her debut album Being the girl (2021) was nominated to a Swedish Grammy.
