Los Angeles – Summer is winding down, but we still have something to look forward to—and that’s 5 new songs from some of our favorite artists. With new releases from Mac Demarco and one of many of Chance The Rapper’s recent collaborations making web presences, we’ve been absolutely spoiled. Whether it’s acid rap, R&B or
Chicago - After a little breather and some time spent recording, D.C. band RDGLDGRN - okay they’re from Reston, Virginia, but word on the street is that Reston may as well be D.C. - is back with a new album, due out this Fall.

London – While it was far from her first demo offering, Lady Lamb began to gain prominence on the back of Mammoth Swoon, a 15-song set of previously unreleased, bedroom and radio tracks, several of which were later reimagined on her 2013 debut studio album, Ripely Pine. The Lady’s 2015 follow-up, After, maintains the surreal
San Francisco – The dulcet tones of Mac DeMarco’s gentle, cooling ballads continue this summer with Another One, the miniature follow-up to last year’s wonderfully successful Salad Days.
