Words can be many things. They’re endowed with a certain power and like the emotions they translate for us they can be rather unwieldy; which often results in usually more harm than good. For Kera Armendariz, unfiltered expression and the collateral that comes with it can be something of a double-edged sword. But as the bewitching […]
MoreGood lawd, I love me a chunky opening riff. Ever So Android have shared their latest single and video “RnR.” And let me tell you, there ain’t nothing “rest and relaxation” about it. Right from the jump, the song rips and roars with quite the statement riff. Just how they sing in their chorus, I’ve […]
MoreWhen special moments happen live at concerts, it can feel like magic. Last February, the Galentine’s Day show at the Hi Hat was the setting for a particularly magical collaboration between Emily Gold, Lauren Ruth Ward, and Sarsten Noice. The trio (along with Gold’s band) covered Wanda Jackson’s classic single, “Funnel of Love,” apt for […]
MoreLos Angeles-based songstress MONOGEM’s newest track, “Get You High,” blends all the right amounts of sultry and sexy, charm and elegance, on a slick backdrop of pop to boot. Building from its devilish invitation into a grandiose pop piece that employs all kinds of sparkle and glitter to the singer’s luminous vocals, it isn’t long […]
MoreIs it still too early to declare Oracular Spectacular a classic? MGMT’s debut features hits that have yet to fade, with “Electric Feel” shining particularly brightly. Local duo slenderbodies debuts their own cover of the single today, which you can hear exclusively below. Last year slenderbodies put out fabulist, a five-track EP, that established the […]
MoreLos Angeles native Zoe Sky Jordan put out a jaunty alt-pop LP two years ago, proving herself as an enduring, emotive songwriter. A few months ago, she put out a new single, and today Grimy Goods has the opportunity to debut another cut, “Everything I,” which will appear on her forthcoming EP. Jordan pours her […]
MoreSouthern California surf rock group Dante Elephante has a packed 2018 planned. They just released details of their upcoming tour and announced a new record too. Later this year we’ll have our hands on the LP, Rare Attractions, but until then, we can enjoy the first single from it, the sunny break up ballad, “Call […]
MoreKaterina Papachristou began the band Tango With Lions in 2007, amid the burgeoning indie rock scene in Greece. Now she’s an accomplished veteran, having put out her third LP, The Light, only a few weeks ago. Today Grimy Goods is lucky to debut the video for a single marked by a slow-burning swell of energy; […]
MoreThe foundation of today’s exclusive premiere is an elegant combination of cello and Greek mythology. “The Boy Who Melts the Sun” is a reimagining of the tale of Icarus by EMÆL (ee-my-el), taken from their forthcoming full-length, Glasswork, and it is chamber pop at its finest. Nothing more accurately describes the future than being engulfed […]
MoreIn 2013, “flawless” was more than a synonym for perfection. Thanks to Beyonce’s single, it became an overtly feminist affirmation, one that prioritized self-confidence over meeting expectations. With their brand new single–and the first from their forthcoming sophomore album, 28 Days in the Valley–Dorothy adds to that narrative. Listen to “Flawless” exclusively below. While the […]
