There’s an absolute music video renaissance happening in Nashville and it’s largely entirely hip-hop videos. We’ll talk more about that later but, for now, make yourself keenly aware of the new Jordan XX video for “Highs and Lows,” directed by Seck. Taken from Surfing: Highs and Lows, this title track is emblematic of Jordan XX’s […]
Helen Gilley is involved in a number of projects, most notably in the band Butthole and as a director for the likes of Lilly Hiatt, Jasmin Kaset and Quichenight (to name just a few). Recently “Let’s B Friendz” was released, the debut offering from Gilley under the pseudonym Helly. Like much of Gilley’s work, it’s […]
Back in May, Heaven Honey released the single “Tomorrow I’ll Try“, ostensibly as the flip side to her prior single “Total Abandon.” Both released via Cold Lunch Recordings and To-Go Records, they are distinctly separate releases but feel like two sides of the same coin. Where “Total Abandon” is hard-hitting, “Tomorrow I’ll Try” is subdued, […]

When an artist is aiming for that uplifting feeling it generally comes with the baggage of being overly corny, forced euphoria or, even worse, a completely empty gesture. With “Golden,” the latest single from Stereo Specter, all of […]

Another massive dose of local music for you spanning a variety of genres. Hope you’re in the mood for some wildly upbeat dance-y jams, some ominous hip-hop, some politically fueled indie rock and many many points in between because that’s what we’ve got in store for you.

It’s a well understood notion that creativity is often bred by limitations. When you’re feeling stuck, create some arbitrary guidelines for yourself and see what comes out.
