Listen: Haunt Me - Outofit

Outofit is a Canada-based collaboration between producer Metronomix and vocalist Meymey. Combining heavy bass and electronics with delicate and ghostly vocals, the result is a dark yet pop inspired sound.

Having released their debut single So Shy last month, Outofit are now back with Haunt Me. Outofit's latest song enters with an aggressive bass and kick drum sound, Meymey’s vocals cleaving herself open emotionally as she descibes being toxically in love with someone.

Describing the record, Outofit say:

“Ever been in love with someone who's not good for you, but let them eat away at you anyway because you'd die for them anyway, kill for them even? Like a dark twisted fantasy, a guilty pleasure? Where they literally intrude your thoughts like a drug that you've come to accept as a part of your identity? We have.”

Haunt Me manages to capture the sense of spinning out-of-control as a result of the emotional pull someone else has over you, Meymey’s vocals seemingly hanging somewhere between her reality and just how dark it can feel sometimes. Haunt Me is desperate, urgent, and unwilling to let go... And yet that is what love sometimes feels like. As Meymey describes midway through when discussing “people talking shit, saying I need help”, the experience of being in love can sometimes actually be incredibly lonely and alienating.

will i see u in my dreams tonight... will i remember you when im not high

Listen: High Wire - Jasmine Ash

Jasmine Ash is an LA-based musician and songwriter who has built a successful career with her music featured in numerous TV shows, including Riverdale, The Punisher and The Good Wife amongst others. She has also contributed music to ad campaigns for Apple, Clinique and more. With a musical repertoire that consists of more than 400 songs, she is certainly prolific.

Whilst 2018 saw Jasmine write for Lisa Loeb’s Grammy winning album, Feel How You Wanna Feel, 2019 sees he focus on her own music, with an EP slated for release in the fall.

High Wire is the first single to be lifted from Ash’s forthcoming EP. Written in Joshua Tree, California, the song has a delicate sparseness to it that evokes the feeling that comes to mind when I imagine that place. The song itself set Jasmine down a path of making music for herself - having become used to writing music for other artists, it was a moment that represents a departure.

The sense of branching out on a new path, of feeling a sense of risk and one of being overwhelmed, comes through on High Wire. The song captures the sense of someone rediscovering themselves, of bravely revisiting feelings once forgotten. Innevitably the chorus conjures the feeling of stepping out into the world with determination - the uncertainty and danger of being on a high wire, but the elation of feeling success and the potential for mastery. It’s an appropriate statement of intent for a musician stepping into the spotlight.

Check out High Wire below, and look out for Jasmine Ash’s EP this fall.

Uplifting, unique track sure to get you dancing and feeling good.

Listen: U Know Where 2 Find Me - AIRGLØW feat. TRTL

AIRGLØW is a project focused on bringing music and writing together, the words of Glo Lazaro set to music, creating the kind of cinematic and emotive experience you can hear on U Know Where 2 Find Me. This track features co-production work from Shadeax (pronounced “Shadow”) and vocals from Glo’s friend TRTL (real name Kim Bjerga), who himself plays in a ukulele band named The Nakes Waiters.

This song details that near universal experience of the one that got away... A person you fell in love with, but it didn’t quite work out. In those experiences we often find ourselves wanting to create the opportunity for that person to return - in the words of AIRGLØW, “leaving one door open so if they ever want to try again, they know how to find us”.

Ultimately U Know Where 2 Find Me plays out the experience of knowing you should move on from something, but actively choosing not to. Sometimes the pull of someone who feels (or felt) so right can be more appealing and comforting to embrace than move past.

It is a story about experiences my friends and I went through when we were in college. Typically everyone has someone who they fell in love with but it didn't work out. Many times we leave one door open so that if they ever want to try again, they know how to find us. . About The Artist (Me): AIRGLØW is a project spearheaded by myself, Glo. I want to create a movement that helps people do the things they always dreamed of doing, but never took the chance on. Currently my co-producer (who also worked on this track with me) is a producer who goes by the name Shadeax (pronounced “shadow”). My friend TRTL (Kim Bjerga) is the artist singing on this track. He currently is in an ukulele band called The Nakes Waiters. . Music means everything to me. It's one of the few things that has helped me feel genuinely happy. Like many, it has saved me from giving up on my hopes; music saved me from giving up on life. I hope that I can make music that does the same for other. Thank for giving the track a listen :)! . — Artist Social Media — My Website: airgl0w.com/ Instagram - www.instagram.com/airgl0w/ Twitter - twitter.com/Airgl0w YouTube - www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ449B5YRKPwlxKl_USNyrQ Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/7p6lWR7k8Fr1CiK1u99kHJ Soundcloud - @airgl0w Facebook - www.facebook.com/airgl0w . — LYRICS — The lights go out The crowd goes home I’m all alone And I’m thinking of us . I try my best but my mind drifts what i wouldn’t give to see you just this once . I guess i should be moving on I could but i don’t want to And I know you had to go but we put on a quite a show . You go your way and I’ll go mine I’m sure we’d make it by just fine After all this time if I’m still on your mind You know where to find me . Been going round From town to town Faces surround me But no one I can trust . Did i play it right? Or sing it wrong? Or maybe all along there was something between us . I guess i should be moving on I could but i don’t want to And I know its been too long But can we dance for one more song? . You go your way and I’ll go mine I’m sure we’d make it by just fine After all this time if I’m still on your mind You know where to find me . One day you’ll wake up and See someone else in the mirror Ask yourself the question How did we get here? You’ll find the way back home I know you’ll make it on your own And if I’m still on your mind You know where to find me . You go your way and I’ll go mine I’m sure we’d make it by just fine After all this time if I’m still on your mind You know where to find me . You know where to find me

Watch: Eugene - Bull

Eugene is the kind of song that took a little while to get inside my head... Like the worm in the video, it gradually wiggled its way into my subconscious.

With that slacker rock intro, Eugene shuffles its way into your ears, lilting vocals giving way to jaunty melodies and layered harmonies. Eventually what emerges is a little reminiscent of Pavement if they had vocals from Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor. Basically you can expect a high level of IQ and emotional anxiety. Things sway back and forth, a little like the cartoon seaweed in my head lost amongst the currents, and my words in a room to busy to notice I’m there.

Yet ultimately, Eugene will kick you in the head. Because sure, waves and inertia and emotions and complexity and air and atoms and shit, but also love and violence and the oppressive nature of time and famine and erections and the vapid waste of time that is every moment you let slip through your fingers. And then, suddenly, it’s all over.

Bull got their break when they decided to up sticks and head to Germany, with a suitcase drum kit in hand. Having slept in the basement of a YMCA they began their journey to success with a two-date dive bar tour of Berlin. Somehow fate brought Pavement’s Spiral Stairs into Bull’s own metaphorical Pavement and he offered to play at a house party the band were through. Remko Schouten, sound engineer and producer of Pavement and The Jicks, ran the sound system at the part and he ended up inviting Bull to record with him in Amsterdam.

And now we are here. I got send Eugene, and couldn’t find a rational reason not to share it with you. So here it is. Play it.

Listen: Slow - Soma

Slow is the second single to come from Stockholm based musician Soma. Whilst this is actually a break-up song, it positively bursts with an infectious form of excitement. If this is a break-up song then it surely depicts the kind of break-up where you still can’t help but feel head-over-heels with the person you are having to face moving on without.

Soma and her collaborators wanted to try and keep the feeling of their original demo and so managed to avoid polishing it too much, and the result is a track that reeks of Prince, in a rather wonderful way. It boasts bold melodies, some lovely analogue sounding 80s bass and the kind of snappy, treble-heavy pop sensibilities you just don’t get these days. There is also a wonderful gospel moment towards the end, a bridge that sees the majority of the instrumentation drop away so the vocals can really shine. In addition to Prince, this reminds me of Nenah Cherry... The same energy that makes Buffalo Stance one of my all-time favourites is audible here.

Slow is one of those songs that I just can't stop listening to - a pleasure to receive and one of those tracks I just can’t help but want to share. Check it out below:
