“New Distraction” by fanclubwallet

Super catchy pop-rock tune. Beautiful production, great hook, really strong vocals. 📺

“Waterfight” by Bruiser and Bicycle

I love the way this song moves in and out of the beat. Really interesting melody and instrumentation. Good vocal harmonies. And the little synth line that appears here and there sits beautifully on top of the otherwise acoustic feel. 📺

“Lasting Impression” by Ava Luna

This song has such a cool rhythm. Boy / girl vocals always win with me. And the bass on this achieves an enviable tone. 📺

“Honest Man” by Freak Slug

Some songs have a chewy feel that makes me just want to eat it. The hook on this track is infectious. 📺

“Animal Kingdom Chaotic” by Jesca Hoop

Not technically new to me — this is from a forthcoming re-imagining of Hoop’s 2017 album Memories Are Now. But after 7 years, this song has incredible staying power and remains one of my all time favorites. The vocal melody here is off the hook, interesting lyrics and some really nice guitar work. Also check out Simon Says from this album. 📺

“Adalynn” by Ava June

I may be slightly biased on this one, but my daughter released her third single in September. She’s not on Bandcamp (yet!) but she’s on the major streaming platforms. I’m incredibly proud of the work she’s done on these and cannot wait to hear what she does next. Be sure to check out the other two, Eliza and Part of Your Life.
