Indie alt-rockers Moon Taxi have released their new single "Classics," out today via 12th South Records. Equal parts fresh and nostalgic, "Classics" is an ode to the songs we all find ourselves singing along to while reminiscing on simpler times and moments that have ultimately shaped us into who we are today. The track is the first off Moon Taxi's new album coming summer 2023.
"'Classics' taps into the alchemy of listening to music as a teenager. It's such a crazy time of self discovery and identity formation," shares vocalist and guitarist Trevor Terndrup. "Music got us through it all and helped us get to the other side." Lead guitarist Spencer Thomson adds, "This is our ode to the songs that comfort us and usher in waves of nostalgia. The music and lyrics recall scenes of 90's youth bliss, driving around aimlessly listening to burned CDs." (continue)

Good Bison just released his Goosebumps inspired, narrative EP "Ghost On Mulholland", and to celebrate we asked him (Pablo) to tell us about the track "Better Lies." Here is the story:
"Better Lies" was the second song Abe and I wrote for the EP, and it's the one that really got the flow going for us. We had been struggling a bit to get the vibe right, but suddenly we started working on this track and everything clicked. I came up with the guitar chords, and while Abe was going in on the production, the melody and lyrics for the hook popped into my head right away. The first thing Abe said to me when I showed him the chorus was, "This sounds like something Dexter Morgan would say." There's actually a voice memo of that exact moment and you can hear how excited I get and the two of us just laughing. We were both obsessed with 'Dexter' at the time, we had just finished re-watching the show and were already a few episodes into the new series. Abe and I agreed that this would be our 'Dexter' song, even if no one else knew it. (continue)

The Bangles' classic "Eternal Flame" has received a brand new makeover courtesy of Rosie Thomas, who was joined on the cover by William Fitzsimmons and Denison Witmera.
Rosie had this to say, "When we were working on the Lullabies For Parents series, and thinking about covers to add, this one felt pretty obvious. We wanted to hit on older pop songs parents know and love, but also worked as lullabies.
"A way to scratch that nostalgic itch, while reframing the songs to give them a new life for listeners. We would then do "casting" for who should sing on certain songs, and both William and Denison were the clear choice for this one." (continue)
