Arlo Parks’ newest single, "Heaven," is a brave, euphoric departure for the Mercury Prize and BRIT Award–winning artist. Driven by a cathartic techno bassline, the song sees Parks dive into her deep love for underground electronic dance music.
Chicago quartet Friko have shared "Seven Degrees,” a sing-along-ready indie anthem balancing Conor Oberst-tinged vocals with Beatles-eque pop sensibilities. Forthcoming sophomore album Something Worth Waiting For, due April 24th via ATO Records, explores everything from noise-rock to avant-garde classical to '70s-era symphonic balladry.
New York-based composer and producer Dan English’s music has been described as everything from chamber pop to slacker rock, a thread of sonic and cultural influence ranging from the archaic to the “very online.” English will bring his signature musical blend to KCRW’s School Night this Thursday, Feb 12th at The Airliner in Los Angeles.
Hollis Howard's "I Love My Friends" feels like a time machine, a bedroom pop indie demo that a friend-of-a-friend posted on Bandcamp in 2010. Unfussy and instantly nostalgic, new yet infinitely familiar. Catch Howard live at KCRW's School Night this Thursday, Feb 12th at The Airliner in Los Angeles.
LA based singer songwriter and producer Johnny Dawson has been carving his path in various pockets of the city’s indie scene, collaborating with artists like Gelli Haha, Ryan Pollie and Nymphlord. Catch his lowkey, solo folk pop this Thursday, February 12th at KCRW’s School Night at The Airliner.
