BLVK Mirror has a backing beat that is influenced by J Dilla, while the lyrical complexities laid down by Tyson onBEATS ensure that listeners will have to play this track multiple times before hearing each call out and literary reference. I’d compare these bars to Joyce’s Ulysses; for every mainstream mention (e.g. W.E.B. DuBois, Newton), there are five to ten call-backs that one will need to search out. This is…

There’s a bit of rich, brooding, 808s and Heartbreak-infused synths and bass to add a further layer of complexity to the single. There’s a lot to…

The Burbs has a fun lo-fi vibe to it that calls back to days of massive house parties and college-rock acts from Rich Hardesty and pop-rappers like Asher Roth. With a bit of guitar representing the bulk of the supporting instrumentation, there is a fun and refreshing vibe that is cultivated here. daFinchi has really build up an eclectic style with his discography leading back a few years at this…
Power of Love is a powerful, effecting sort of composition that begins in a soft and tender way before gradually gaining additional layers of instrumentation and Carr’s inimitable scope of vocal delivery. Pulling double duty in both telling the narrative on her latest single as well as providing further depth to the composition, Jekalyn finds herself bolstered further through a rich chorus. There’s a driving beat that becomes commonplace as…
No Feelings has a dreamy, twinkling backing beat that adds a bit of finesse to the rap genre. The bit of vocal modification links together the instrumental and lyrical content, creating a cohesive and coherent sound to Rondo’s latest single.

Endless has Pinegrove call back to the early-oughts indie rock of acts like The Appleseed Cast and The Anniversary. The band is able to make their own unique impression on the style by bringing in just a hint of alt-country (e.g. Avett Brothers). The act’s musicianship is just as alluring as their two-part vocal harmonies. There is a close-knit and fuzzy production style to the guitars and drums that will…
Hide & Seek begins with a dark and intense backing beat that rises at the right point to give Justina Valentine’s vocals a considerable boost.
