An ongoing monthly mix of linked-to-Soundcloud submissions that I approved on Submithub for a share over on HI54.BLOG (https://hi54.blog/content/what-should-i-expect-when-i-get-a-song-approved-by-you-on-submithub). Songs are added throughout the month and then I do the whole thing over again with the next month's Submithub approvals that have a Soundcloud link as one of their audio sources.

Cheers!

SubmitCloud - January 2021

Stream 'Cruel AF' : https://stephan.fanlink.to/cruelaf

Stephan Kreussel is a South Africa based solo musician that produces faintly trippy, romantic dream pop.
After studying sound engineering and sound art, he released his debut album, Early in 2018 as a side project. It was received so positively that he decided to produce music full time.

Stephan is also one half of psych-pop duo Caramel with Domas Morkunas. The two recorded three singles in Lithuania in 2019 that was also incredibly well received. Thanks to the pandemic, Stephan is now locked down in South Africa writing new material by his lonesome almost every day.

Cruel af is a groovy, ironically upbeat song about a relationship falling apart during this Covid Lockdown. Punchy drums, duelling guitars and a grooving bass line get juxtaposed with dreamy, melancholic vocals and keys.

Stream 'Selva y Mar' : https://tatifalco.fanlink.to/selvaymar

Tati Falco is an Argentinian-Italian musician and producer based in Lucca, Italy. ‘Selva y mar’ is the first single release from the upcoming eponym EP, which will be the first volume out of a trilogy. The three volumes represent a journey, a travel diary, partly written and with some pages still blank. The warm sound of Tati Falco aims to create images, from information that was decanted during and after trips made in recent years.

Stream 'Haydee' : https://tatifalco.fanlink.to/haydee

‘Haydee’ is the second single of 'Selva y Mar', a psychedelic description of an everyday-grocery run if you live anywhere in South America.   

With an arpeggio of hypnotic synthesizers, followed by an endearing bass guitar, tribal drums, velvet guitars and Tati’s misty vocals. This is Haydee’s video, psychedelic footage,  animated in an intuitive way, with no defined technique, in an exquisite artistic collaboration with Oscar Tillman (Thunder Tillman).

LSD is overrated. To embark on a colourful journey just play ‘Magic Drips’.

Between psychedelic rock and funk, the ending of the song will melt your ego and turn your inner being into pure bliss.

The beauty of the earth
[Pour]
The earth is wonderful
The warm sun
Look at this nature
Filled with beautiful colors
[Verse 2]
The rain is falling softly
Collecting every drop
Slow travel snail
Dream of green meadow
[Chorus]
The swallow flies high
Chirping in the blue
Sings the clear horizon
Sweet air melody
[Verse 3]
The flowers open into smiles
Sweet scents of the wind
Forest dances in mystery
Secrets of living wood
[Bridge]
Listen to these leaves whisper
Stories of times gone by
Every breeze is a song
Promise of eternity
[Chorus]
The swallow flies high
Chirping in the blue
Sings the clear horizon
Sweet air melody

La beauté de la terre
[Verse]
La terre est merveilleuse
Le soleil chaleureux
Regarde cette nature
Remplie de belles teintes
[Verse 2]
La pluie tombe doucement
Recueillant chaque goutte
Escargot lent voyage
Rêve de verte prairie
[Chorus]
L'hirondelle vole haut
Gazouille dans le bleu
Chante l'horizon clair
Douce mélodie d'air
[Verse 3]
Les fleurs s'ouvrent en sourire
Parfums suaves du vent
Forêt danse en mystère
Secrets du bois vivant
[Bridge]
Écoute ces feuilles murmurent
Histoires du temps passé
Chaque brise est un chant
Promesse d'éternité
[Chorus]
L'hirondelle vole haut
Gazouille dans le bleu
Chante l'horizon clair
Douce mélodie d'air

Stream 'Back To Me' :  https://coolsounds.fanlink.to/backtome
Pre-order 'Bystander' vinyl : https://coolsounds1.bandcamp.com/album/bystander

Melbourne’s Cool Sounds make records that move deftly and playfully through indie-rock, pop, and alt-country. The band are defined by their signature guitar lines, as catchy as any chorus, as well as a beloved live show that sees six musicians crowded onstage. Lead singer and songwriter Dainis Lacey has been making music as Cool Sounds for years, but the band found a unique sound on their 2018 album Cactus Country and 2019’s More To Enjoy, which was nominated for the AIR Award for Best Independent Country Album. On Bystander, the new album out February 12, Cool Sounds are more attuned to their surroundings than ever: written during a European summer and recorded in three weeks over the following Australian one, Bystander isn’t always as laid back as the warm weather might suggest. With more of a focus on lyrics than ever before, Bystander, is at turns introspective, self-aware, irreverent and unflinchingly observant. All of the band’s essential elements are here – those guitar licks, vocal melodies that dip and spike then smooth out, and clever, understated rhythmic changes – but as lyrics are brought to the forefront, the band’s agile, elastic arrangements feel all the more essential.

Stream 'Close / Closer' : https://robimitch.fanlink.to/closecloser

Dive head first into Robi's universe with his new single 'Close / Closer' out today via Nice Guys. Robi's music blends lo-fi production and laid-back vocal style, while his experiences as a session guitarist in Taipei lend a distinctiveness to his sound.

Robi Mitch - Close / Closer

Produced by David Pye.

Lyrics:

There’s a resolution, caught you in the bar.
Underneath the light, highlighting all of the scars.
I was in no position, but I was overjoyed.

Hazel, turn your cards up, legs uncrossed, dealer spat you down.
Honest, law abiding, do your best, come to be spat out.
There’s a resolution, where you’re the theatre star.

Hold on to the reins, it’s getting, profane.
Onus ain’t around, it’s getting lame.

On another plane, uncoupled.
Physical and dry, hiding from the rain.

Hazel

Stream '4 U' : https://ralphtv.fanlink.to/4U

Rising Brighton quartet Ralph TV return with their infectious new single ‘4 U’. Hoping to once again soothe lockdown blues with their uplifting and thoughtfully crafted indie pop - the track is out now via French indie label, Nice Guys.

Written and collaboratively produced by the band - ‘4 U’ starts with heavenly synths and transcends with a funk inspired beat that compliments the echoing vocal as they call the attention of a love interest. On ‘4 U,’ Will explains: “This track is one where we’ve tried to encompass all of our elements into one. The funky sid and the dreamy side working in tandem with each other.” He adds: “Even though we still record all of our tracks DIY style we have also consciously tried to make this one sound a bit more polished by focusing on developing our techniques and songwriting.”

Stream 'You and Me' : https://naturetv.fanlink.to/youandme

Brighton dream-pop specialists Nature TV share new cut 'Hey Man' today with Nice Guys. Straddling a line between the hazy suburbia of Real Estate and the waterside stillness of Nick Drake, the band’s latest offering sees them hone in on their ‘indie-pop’ sound, masterfully crafting a crescendo of effortlessly silky guitars and tender, dreamy vocals to perfection.

With contemplative nostalgia and a emotive soundtrack of faded relationships, uncertainty and heartbreak taking centre stage throughout their music, the rising quartet are well-placed to capitalise on last year’s acclaimed ‘Lady Luck’ EP, having become a firm favourite amongst key industry gatekeepers (DIY, Dork, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash, Gigwise), earned support across the BBC Radio 1 airwaves (Huw Stephens) and opened for the likes of Swimming Tapes, PINS as well as touring with Trudy and the Romance.

I don't use Soundcloud that much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ except for sharing playlists & reposting all the Submithub submissions I've approved for blahging each month that were submitted via Soundcloud. So I guess I use it a little bit after all.

Somewhere, anywhere ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
