Ice Melt<\/a>
\nCrumb<\/strong>
\nThe American psychedelic indie rock band \u2013 not to be confused with the Swiss blues and rock cover band of the same name \u2013 met in college and consist of Lila Ramani (guitar, vocals), Jesse Brotter (bass, vocals), Bri Aronow (synthesizers, keyboard, saxophone), and Jonathan Gilad (drums). They released their first album, Jinx, in 2019. The singing is often evanescent, musical harmonies dominate and make for easy listening. Indie Current described them as \u201cpsychedelic slackers\u201d, a less positive way of calling them laid back. Due to an orchestral twist, their precise music is reminiscent of psychedelic pioneers such as The Moody Blues. Originally from Boston, they made Brooklyn their home.

Living My Best Life<\/a>
\nMotown Moe<\/strong>
\nMore easy listening. Motown Moe is a smooth jazz producer and pianist from Detroit area. \u00abAs a youngster Moe would spend endless hours listening to jazz music ranging from Ronnie Laws o MFSB. The instrumental music of the 70\u2019sreally consumed him, especially sounds coming out of Philadelphia\u2019s Sigma Sound studio. Moe had interest in learning the sax, guitar and piano at an early age\u2026 \u00bb but joined the Air Force instead, where he began to play around and compose on a small keyboard. Music remained a hobby for many years until he learned the technical side of music production while working as a miner and in a car assembly line until he gained recognition and began to play music in earnest, joining many well-known artists of the Motown area.

Jazz EP<\/a>
\nRodrigo y Gabriela<\/strong>
\nRodrigo y Gabriela is a Mexican guitar duo. Their third album Rodrigo y Gabriela was the first instrumental album ever to reach Number One on the charts in their adopted country Ireland. They also use their acoustic guitars with percussive virtuosity. Their music is influenced by various styles such as new flamenco, heavy metal and rock. They used to play in trash metal band Tiera Acida without much success, before moving to Ireland. Success came when they were discovered by Damien Rice and opened for one of his tours. They gained international attention through their elaborate cover versions of the hits Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin and Orion by Metallica. In 2011, they collaborated with Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack of Pirates of the Caribbean \u2013 On Stranger Tides.

String of Souls<\/a>
\nAcid Test<\/strong>
\nThe Canadian experimental band formed in Toronto, in 1990. Twenty-five years after the release of their first album, Drop, the wizened and revitalized band, comprised of original members Lucy di Santo (vocals), guitarist Steve Fall, keyboardist\/producer Adam (Atom) Perdy, and new drummer Tim van de Vem are picking up from where they left off. Acid Test\u2019s new music is as adventurous, as genre-bending, edgy and visceral. But there is a also a gravitas and vibrancy to the songs, something that has come through the lives of each of the band members have lived on the intervening decades, before the initial thought of a reformation took hold, after the death of former member Mike Harland, in 2012. They\u2019ve been back for a while now.

Still Life<\/a>
\nFoug\u00e8re<\/strong>
\nLondon-based musician and composer Foug\u00e9re (Jamie Norton) is pleased to announce details of his debut album Still Life. A personal, inspirational thought piece fused with neo-classical influences. \u201cA few years ago I became really interested in the work of Italian artist Giorgio Morandi, a painter of the kind of still life composition that communicates a sense of tranquillity and privacy. I was looking for this same sense of stillness and minimalism within this music; To try and capture a mood or moment, as if it were a still life painting.\u201d Having composed under his birth name for so long, Norton took his moniker \u2018Foug\u00e8re\u2019 from one of his passions: smell. It\u2019s the term for one of the main fragrance families,
