Adding to their lackadaisical mystique, Bonny Doon’s new video features idyllic countryside and band members lolling about. The song is “Long Wave,” taken from the band’s brand new LP of the same name. The video is an apt visual accompaniment, elevating the most contemplative qualities of the band’s music and this song in particular….
“Cry Cry Cry” off of Jessica Hernandez & The Delta’s debut full-length Secret Evil is a bluesy tune lamenting a relationship that was condemned from the start.

Detroit-based electronic duo Sleepless Inn self-released their debut The Rainbow Room EP last April, offering up a slew of mid-tempo dreamy gems. Now they’ve put out their first video, a colorful clip for “Karol Simon,” which was created with the help of Motor City collective #CoOwnaz. It’s clear there are many imaginative minds at work…
The Detroit-based electronic project Gosh Pith have been pretty mysterious up to this point, releasing just one single a couple months back accompanied by a small handful of local shows.
