L.A. duo Magdalena Bay close out an undeniable banner year with their final glorious single of 2019, as they hint at their formidable versatility with the beautiful and dreamy self-described "emotional indie ballad", "Oh Hell". As always, this one comes with some irresistible accompanying DIY visuals from the group, featuring an impressive feat of underwater singing from Mica,

Like-minded L.A. DIY pop luminaries Disco Shrine and Magdalena Bay collab on an empowering new anthem, and like everything these two do, it's a straight up bop.

Swedish artist Bella Boo is set to follow up two of our favorite EPs of the past couple of years with her stellar debut full-length Once Upon a Passion, coming in November on Studio Barnhus, and today she shares the softly twinkling album-opener "Can't Leave You Like This." It's a dreamily alluring track that sets the mood for the record's intoxicating blend of sensuous after-hours club

MUNYA follows up her stellar and eminently charming EP compilation from earlier this spring, as she ushers in a welcome summer breeze with her lovely new single "Dove".
