There was a band in NJ called The Catching that made some news among teens. After a couple of months of a ground swell, the band seemed to fall off the map. But then I heard a song called Running From Myself and realized the singer Holden Glazer of that band emerged as a solo artist. He draws influences from Harry Styles, Panic at the Disco!, and even film scores. Give it a stream and let me know what you think.
Look out for Zoe Wakelam and the track Acceptable Hell. It’s unique, has a cool melody and a bit experimental, but very listenable. I dunno, but this is the music I love right now. The Aussie born singer songwriter who now lives in the UK draws inspiration from FINNEAS, twenty øne piløts, half•alive, Wallows and Billie Eilish. Think electro and bedroom pop.
