Forever This Way - Rooskin X Beach for Tiger

Refined Believer

Carrying on the long tradition of sentimental jangle pop songwriters, Lightheaded distill decades of lovelorn tunes into sounds for modern softies. They have the sunshine sparkle of The Left Banke and Margo Guryan, the C86 charm of Dolly Mixture and Would-Be-Goods, and the cinematic swell of Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura.

"Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming!" is their most collaborative and earnest release to date, and marks their first collaborative release with Slumberland and the UK's Skep Wax label. From Laurel Canyon folky jangle to elegant chamber pop to lovesick girl-group ballads, Lightheaded's tunes nod to the ‘60s without feeling antiquated and this new EP is their most perfectly bittersweet and fully-realized recording yet.

Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming!

pre-order

Lightheaded - Same Drop

On their first new album in a decade, Anglo-Australian indiepop quartet Allo Darlin’ return with "Bright Nights" -- marking the return of their smart, beautiful pop music. "My Love Will Bring You Home" is a gorgeous country-tinged song that ably exhibits songwriter and vocalist Elizabeth Morris Innset's melodic flair and lyrical gifts. It's a joyous and infectiously uplifting tune that, like the rest of "Bright Nights," wraps you in a warm and comforting musical embrace.

ZOO is a project as ambitious as it is intriguing. The Cincinnati-based American artist blends elements of psych rock and lo-fi to craft a sound that’s both captivating and immersive. He returns with Grounded, the first single from his upcoming EP Singing Underwater. A track that fuses psychedelic guitar riffs with punchy percussion and addictive toplines.

Stream 'GNAT' now: https://bfan.link/gnat

Second single from the upcoming record, ‘GNAT’ is an indie pop/rock ballad filled with quiet hope. Written alone with just a guitar or keys, it came to life in the studio with Isaac and friends. It’s a gentle signal flare, a song for anyone still waiting for a sign, still holding on to something.

The Life You Save

Long After Midnight

Flock of Dimes - Long After Midnight

Is that a note from Casanova?
     Yes, it’s touching—in a way
Don’t let him turn your pretty head around
     What am I supposed to say?


Say, “Thank you for your pretty words
“Though I’ve heard them all before”
“I appreciate your overtures
“But I’m already spoken for”

     But I’m not in love with anyone 
     What if he asks me for a name?
     Should I say it’s Quasimodo
     And he lives in Notre Dame?

Shun that knuckle-dragging lumberjack
He probably doesn’t brush his chops
I could convince him to forget you
With a sack of lollipops 

     I’d rather live beside a lumberjack 
     Built of feisty flesh and bone
     Than a cynical, old woman
     With a bloodless heart of stone 

I’ve been around this world a whole lot longer than you
I've had my ups and downs and learned a thing or two
I had some breaks, I've made mistakes
And now I'm warning you:

Never love, it’s just a hustle 
Never give your heart away
Nothing's free in this old world
And when you love, you pay

Oh, I may be old and cynical
With a soul as cold as ice
But we must abide the loneliness 
When we live for what we do

And we live for what we do
