New River Slim – Semi Automatic
The 2nd and final single off of New River Slim’s much anticipated new album ‘Where Is New River Slim’, is a highly atmospheric, indie rock banger that could easily fit in a Tarantino, noir, black comedy movie soundtrack. Cool stuff and won’t spoil the surprise for the great climax after the 3rd minute mark….

Mirrorball – Tinsel for a Tear
Now that’s a great tarck with an effortless, timeless melody that sounds like an atypical “marriage” of Beach House with Supertramp. In other words, the perfect mix of dream pop with soft rock, and we just cannot stopo listening. Ladies & Gents, stop waht you’re doing and give Mirrorball a hug!
