Here are our latest picks for you featuring Eric Dash, Winona Fighter, Jack Critchlow and more!
1. “Good With It” – Eric Dash
New Jersey-born singer-songwriter Eric Dash released his latest indie pop single, “Good With It.” The track blends contagious acoustic melodies with soaring vocals to create an upbeat, feel-good track. “I think ‘Good With It’ is one of my favorite songs on the entire album,” says Dash, referencing his latest self-produced debut album, Bystander. “It’s an account of hope to find your person which I think is special and important. And while cutting the horns I have a memory and video of my happy dog on the couch which makes it even better.” Looking ahead, Dash has plans for a new pop project entitled “LOLA” in honor of his beloved dog.
2. “Swear To God That I’m (FINE)” – Winona Fighter
“Swear to God That I’m (FINE)” by Winona Fighter brings new light to the Nashville-based punk band’s discography. Soaked in energy, the track bleeds conflicting themes of frustration and gratitude. “I’m grateful, I swear / I’m happy to be here . . / . . Maybe I could feel better / I’m going out of my mind,” sings frontwoman Coco Kinnon. Heavy drums, head-banging electric guitars and Kinnon’s blazing vocals reflect the lyricism’s resilience for continuing to pursue life. Winona Fighter has just finished a number of live performances this past fall, including appearances at Riot Fest, Oceans Calling Music Festival, South Star Music Festival, Louder Than Life and Aftershock. Stay tuned for future releases!
3. “Rely On” – Jack Critchlow
Manchester-based songwriter and producer Jack Critchlow unleashed his latest indie-fused electronic single, “Rely On.” The song builds upon layers of electric guitar riffs, synths, keyboards and passionate vocals to create a riveting new alt-pop hit. “The title of the track ‘Rely On’ highlights this feeling and longing for something/someone to rely on during times of stress in our work,” Critchlow explains. “‘It’s my philosophy, work hard, get what you need, but this life it stresses me’ underlines the message of the song and whilst we pride ourselves in working hard, it’s important to keep ourselves sane and supported during times of stress.” Already supported by BBC Radio 1 and Radio X, Critchlow is an up-and-coming artist to stay on the lookout for.
4. “Insect Song (feat. Carter Ace)” – Elke
“Insect Song (feat. Carter Ace)” by avant-pop Nashville artist Elke is an immersive single that fuses punk rock-esque drums with a repetitive, hypnotic chorus. The experimental track is peppered with electronic elements, showcasing Carter Ace’s vocals between each layer. “When you are so deeply and intimately connected with someone, it can free you from loss,” Elke says, regarding the new release. “It’s a euphoria that turns us immortal for a short amount of time.” “Insect Song (feat. Carter Ace)” can also be found on her sophomore album, Divine Urge, out today via Congrats Records.
5. “Attention” – We Are Wolves
Last up we have “Attention,” an energetic garage rock sensation by the Montreal-based duo We Are Wolves. The intro of the new single grabs listeners’ “attention” with a captivating robotic voice and driving guitar riff. The official music video features bold, fuzzy visuals that reflect the distorted, almost chaotic nature of the piece. Alexander Ortiz, one of the members of We Are Wolves alongside Vincent Levesque, explains how the production of “Attention” was unique to their other pieces. “We worked on it without overthinking, so we could still feel the primitive raw vibe but [still capture] a bit of the skills we acquired over the past 20 years,” says Ortiz. The song is the second track on their latest album, NADA, out today via Simone Records.
