With their magical self-titled debut LP, Stockholm duo Gustav + Vanilla aka Morabeza Tobacco have created what we can safely say is the vibiest record of 2019...
If we didn't adequately hype this one up enough with the Sade and Smerz comparisons when we premiered her dreamy "Good Time" video a couple weeks back, allow us to try again: Copenhagen's Erika de Casier just dropped her debut record on a Thursday, and it's one of the year's best...

With their magical self-titled debut LP, Stockholm duo Gustav + Vanilla aka Morabeza Tobacco have created what we can safely say is the vibiest record of 2019.

New Zealand dream-pop heroes Yumi Zouma return with a lovely new one-off single, self-released by the band today. The Yumis had this to say about their silken and kind of steamy new banger "Bruise", which they call a "beacon of optimism" during a tough time for the group (miss you, Sam):
Toronto's Eva Tolkin aka EVA follows up last summer's twinkling, soaring Danny L Harle-produced anthem extolling the virtues of self-pleasure with another undeniable certified bop, which she's self-releasing today...
Patrick Waites shot our favorite band at their GvsB co-presented show over the weekend at the Mohawk in Austin:
Houston producer Rabit drops his second sick tape of the year, and like his winter release THE DOPE SHOW, which featured tracks from Tirzah and Lana Del Rey, Rabit once again mines some inspired source material on this one including Molly Nilsson and "wokeuplikethis*", chopped + screwed into spectral slo-mo fever dreams in the classic DJ Screw tradition...

We're beyond psyched and proud to announce the signing of Montreal band Bodywash, the project of songwriters Rosie Long Decter + Chris Steward, to Luminelle Recordings. The group's beautiful debut full-length, on the horizon for later this year, is one of the most elegantly dreamy and intoxicating albums we've heard in quite some time, a timeless but undeniably modern union of swelling and emotionally moving dream-pop, indie rock, and shoegaze buoyed by exquisitely shimmery electronic elements, recalling everything from You Forgot It In People and vintage Souvlaki-era Slowdive to classic '90s IDM and trip-hop...
Austin band Holy Wave share the new video for "Crys", a dreamily hazy garage-psych nostalgia trip taken from their album Adult Fear, out now on Austin's The Reverberation Appreciation Society and on limited cassette via southern California label Burger Records...
