FRESHVIBESMONDAY #75

Happy Monday! As always, this week's playlist is rich in gems including the latest from Young Wonder, Gengahr, and Torres who each have records coming out very, very soon. I was recently introduced to "Calling Out" by indie-pop act Monakr from Chicago, and without hesitation added it to the playlist. In addition, Bay area newbies No Vacation & Hazel English caught my attention immediately upon first listen. These are definitely two bands I'm getting excited to watch as they grow. Although Hazel English only has one song exposed on SoundCloud, No Vacation has several including an album titled Amo XO.

Highlight of the playlist definitely goes to the silky vibes delivered by Leyya in "Superego."

Thanks to Ruth Radelet from CHROMATICS for letting me use the image above, if you didn't already know - they have an album coming out as well. Listen to their latest release "In Films" below.

P.S. An EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS to everyone who came out on Friday for the first ever We The Beat x Let Your Ears Decide show at Blind Tiger in Santa Barbara featuring JMSN, Olivver the Kid, and Harvey Leche! Your support means more than anything! xxxo

FRESHVIBESMONDAY #66

Don't let this be "just another Monday" but instead, the Monday that gets you fueled for for what's to come. It's a bit of a mellow mix upfront, but don't let it get you down - we're just making it easy for you. Lots of unfamiliar names on this week's selection which means one thing - DISCOVERIES! Most of the above names I've barely listened to, and am so glad I finally got around to doing so (Gengahr, Pearls, GIRL FRIEND, Marian Hill, LEGS.) As always this playlist will grow, as I'm typing this out Sunday night, I am almost positive this playlist will double by Monday evening, so get those ears ready!
