The ever flavorful, genre-swapping artist/producer/singer/songwriter Kokayi might still be riding high on the wave of success brought on by his new album, Robots & Dinosaurs, but he’s focused on keeping the fire hot, this time around dropping a brand new non-album single.

The Beets, of Jackson Heights, Queens, sound like the emotional singalongs you and your friends had in college, if you and your friends had been musical geniuses reinventing 1960s garage rock with poppy no-fi tracks. Their songs are short and catchy and packed with emotive, poetic lyrics, more inspired by the Beatles and the Ramones than the current indie scene. Their shows are more like parties, complete with strings of…

Breaking up is hard to do, especially for androids. New Jersey’s Botanical Bullets first mp3, “Fantastic Romantic,” off their upcoming We Bleed Fluorescent, takes the idea of a tragic love song and moves it into a different realm. Not only do you get the android’s voice, sung by Jacob Conover, but you get the sound of him glitching, malfunctioning and finally dying. Jay Shah explains the inspiration for the song,…
