New Entry: Hembree Unveil New Single "Close to Me"

Kansas City indie rock/alt band Hembree have unveiled their new single "Close to Me".

The song is taken from their upcoming new album "It's a Dream!", set to arrive on February 4th  part of our  current playlist and came out last week (September 21). Get it here.

Vocalist Isaac Flynn has this to say on it: "Close to Me is a song that I had written a few years ago that just kept lingering in my mind. After finishing all the demos for what became, “It’s a Dream!”, I felt like the record needed a lift and a bit more optimism, so the band and I opened this song up again. It’s a love song through and through with a narrative based in companionship. It’s about devotion to whoever is down to pull you out of the dark, and get you through the strange times and all of life’s struggles — that could be a partner, friend or even your dog. This one’s for the ride or dies”

Watch: Blushing Share New Single/Video "The Fires"

Austin, TX dream pop/shoegaze/bedroom pop band Blushing have unleashed the video for their excellent new single "The Fires".

The song is taken from their forthcoming album 'Possessions', set to arrive on February 18, 2022 via Kanine Records. Pre-order your copy here. 

The album was mastered by Ride's Mark Gardener, and The Fires is the only track on the record also mixed by him. Speaking about it, Michelle Soto explains: “We knew Mark could bring a special element to 'The Fires'. However, just as the mixing and mastering process was wrapping up in February 2021 we lost all power and water for over a week due to a freak blizzard that devastated much of Texas. It caused a most unexpected delay in our ability to communicate back and forth with Mark about the track, who expressed concern for the band’s well being as news of the storm reached all the way to the UK.”

“Eventually the snow melted, lights and internet returned and what we received in the final mix was a punchy, glimmering track, a perfect balance to the dark, brooding tone of the song.”
