A song about the intoxicating feeling of longing that comes
when you feel chemistry with someone, but aren’t sure if
it’s all in your head.
TUTV: The song’s footstomping, iterative, groovy drum/bass beat gets you in
a trance from the first listen. On top of the stream comes Nova‘s gentle and
crystalline voice. Transfixing pop ardour.
Taster from her upcoming 13th LP, baptized The Orchard. Out in October.

Band: VEDA RAYS Who: Indie duo from Philly, making ethereal indie rock rooted in dream pop, post-punk, and traditional shoegaze, with lyrics that explore liminality and abstraction, channeling subconscious impulses into the present moment.
TUTV: Veda Rays deliver some glorious guitar pop gusto infused with
a capriously catchy drive here, pepped up with expressive vocals and
a kinetic chorus. Striking stroke.
All the days go careening by
strangers replaced when we tried to hide
All the days went careening right by
capricious fates upending the ride/
capricious fates upending the ride
Artist: E.T. Who: Captivating singer-songwriter Eric Turner from Chattanooga, TN
whose music is built on honest storytelling that comes straight from the heart.
While he has spent time in several notable bands over the years, most of E.T.’s
career has been on the road as a solo acoustic performer.
TUTV: Get ready for some old rock ‘n’ roll time vibrations. A mix of boogie woogie swagger, pelvis-twisting Americana rock, galvanic guitar hooks and spot-on fitting vocals will get you in the mood to jump into a convertible Chevy oldtimer and hit the road, hair in the wind and playing this sepia-colored earworm. I won’t take you long to enjoy the ride.
Band: DIIV Who: Noisy shoegazers
from Brooklyn, NY.
Track: KID
Taster from their new, 5th full-length, entitledZIRP!.
Out October 30th. Tracklist and more info here.

TUTV: I could have sworn this is a Grandaddy song. Its soft, dreamy tonality, melancholic vocality and romantic timbre assured me of it. But, hey, it’s DIIV at their most relaxed.
British songstress HEATHER NOVA (born in Bermuda, 57 years ago) marks her 35th
year in music this year. She does it with her 12th longplayer, titled BREATH AND AIR.
It’s a charming collection of evocative candlelight pearls that are rich in melody, lyric and arrangement, with Heather’s signature vocal as strong and ethereal as ever. The album enfolds you in a timeless atmosphere; Inviting you to forget everything for a moment, while simultaneously coming home to yourself.
Heather wrote the songs over the past 2 years and spent 4 weeks in the Devon countryside in England holed up in an enchanting studio with Chris Bond (Ben Howard) putting down the tracks.
Nova: “It was mostly just the 2 of us, with Midori Jaeger coming down from London for
a few days to play her beautiful cello. Out the window was a field. I would watch the light change there throughout the day. There was a rare albino pheasant that would come and
go. I took it as a good sign!”
“As I get older I notice I have repeated patterns my whole life, even the ones that don’t serve
me. Thought patterns, relationship patterns. We repeat the cycles until we truly learn what our core wounds are and how to heal them. Songwriting in itself is a search for meaning and clarity about ourselves and the world we inhabit.”
