ERRA has dropped a music video for their latest single, “Blue Reverie,” from their upcoming album, CURE. The LP will arrive on April 5 via UNFD. The music video takes place in a similar landscape to their previous single release. Staying in the same world works in favor of the act to further emphasize the environmental messaging they want to give to fans. The band plays in an abandoned home with large, dirty windows that are slightly illuminated. It illustrates the lyrics in the chorus through their mise-en-scène, “Get me back home to hide away/Hide away/Slip back into my silhouette.”… Read more »

talker is back with her newest single, “Easygoing.” This is the first taste of what to expect from her anticipated debut album that drops later this year. The music video for it is a slow descent into obsessive, delulu energy that contrasts the catchy, poppy tune. With this latest single, she enters her singer-songwriter, girlie-pop era with hypnotic guitars and soft vocals. Celeste Tauchar, the creative mind behind talker, says that while it’s her favorite piece of music she’s worked on so far, it’s “one of the scariest to release.” It isn’t due to the relaxed tone that counteracts the… Read more »

With an accompanying music video, “Your Apartment” features upbeat groovy surf rock guitar melodies, understated, yet gripping vocals, and deliciously melancholy lyrics. “Who said I don’t understand or that/I probably won’t remember/Time in the palm of your hand/We both let go together,” the chorus says. Watch the full music video below featuring a vintage aesthetic. Of the new song, Wallows shares, “This… Read more »
