Hey! You’re here! Thank you.

It’s my birthday tomorrow. I don’t expect you to do anything with that information. It’s no fun getting older, but it’s a lot better than the other option. I got some great new music for my birthday. Check out that Been Stellar album, it’s incredible.

I hope you find something you like here, and if you’re inclined, get in touch.

Here is this week’s playlist for Apple Music and Spotify

All of these artists are on this week’s playlist for Apple Music and Spotify

• Fxrrvst (first try) released CBAYAOM (not fair), another catchy heart-on-sleeve indie single
• Moondoggy released What You Get Is What You See, infectious saxophone-infused patio rock
• Rose Brokenshire released super-chill dreamy pop When I Grow Up
• Wizards of Osgoode released two new psychedelic singles from two upcoming albums (!!) Violet and Pink Sun

new artists

• Hank, from London, released debut single Angel Says, add it to whatever playlist Been Stellar is on
• Vitesse X released Way I Luv, the second in a run of singles to followup the killer Us Ephemeral
• Back in January, Glass Mask from Pennsylvania released Cracks and Blood in the Water, a modern take on 80’s sounds
• The debut single by indie band ladylike from Brighton, UK, is called Southbound. It’s from 2023 but it’s new to me. Very English Teacher
• Heavenly Blue is a Toronto band with one song out, and it’s banger: Dear Everybody is low-key psychedelic rock, from 2021! They play a lot around town though. Maybe more is on the way (?)
