premiere: Maria Somerville – This Way
We've been entranced for weeks by the title track from Galway, Ireland artist Maria Somerville's forthcoming self-released debut LP All My People, an eerie, vaguely foreboding lullaby that Maria says was influenced as much by experimental, ambient, and club music as it was by traditional Irish folk ballads...

French for Rabbits – Highest Hill
New Zealand group French For Rabbits share their lovely and poignant new single, taken from their forthcoming LP, out early next year via our friends at Muscle Beach Records.

premiere: Tea Leigh & Luke Reed – Underwater
Psyched to premiere this warm and fuzzy soft-focus collab from renowned tattoo artist / musician Tea Leigh & the man responsible for one our favorite records of 2017, Luke Reed. The achingly pretty "Underwater" is part of a series of stand-alone singles from Reed that the Native Sound is putting out this year and next, and it's a wistful, gently woozy love song that will almost certainly elicit a dreamlike state of longing that you won't be in any hurry to shake...
