oh, be clever

Kings favorite Oh, Be Clever has released a new track Love You Now, and I love it. It’s as infectious as the previous track River which reached #17 on the Hype Machine and garnering 50k+ Soundcloud plays.

The Salt Lake duo have an interesting backstory. Both Brittney Shields and Cory Scott Layton met performing in their respective bands. One night after a show, a fight emerged between the two bands and both Brittney & Cory, having admired each other, walked away from the scene, creating their own music which has been praised by the critics.

Blogs including Kick Kick Snare, PressPlay, I Heart Moosiq, and of course Yours Truly have all been goo-goo ga-ga over the indie electro-soul duo.

Seaker

Coming from North London, and going under the name Seaker, Kiran Hungin shows us a moody and emotional side of indie pop with track After I’m Gone. Crafting all her songs in a home-studio without any outside influences gives that rawness and edge.

The electro pop songstress has been covered in Press Play OK, Drunken Werewolf, Purple Melon, and others. Kiran is currently writing songs and preparing for a new EP.

Although little is known of this emotionally scattered creator, I have a feeling Seaker will grown in popularity as time moves on.

Night Lights

Kings favorite Night Lights are back with a new track Gimme which comes off the new EP Expectations out June 3rd. Mau notes “’Gimme’ compares the frustration the protagonist feels for asking a girl out to dance with the helpless feeling of two people floating side by side in space.”

The Los Angeles based indie rock act inspired by the likes of Mutemath and Two Door Cinema Club began making noise early in the year with the two track Childish and Take My Hand which earned them praise from EarMilk, PopMatters, Baeble Music, Indie Shuffle, and of course Yours Truly.

Having landed on the Viral 50 Global and Viral 50 US Spotify charts, Night lights which are made up of with members from Mexico, Japan, California, and Norway, could become the next indie staples.

Catch these boys at the Lyric Theatre in LA on 6/2/.
