Eighteen-year-old Raleigh, NC singer/songwriter Christina Munsey is set to release her five-song debut EP, for me, or for you, March 6, 2020 (pre-order HERE). Young talent isn't a rare commodity these days but young talent with a distinguished voice, polished writing skills, poise, and a sense of self and determination isn't commonplace.  And in an era where having teams of people writing one single song is considered the norm, Munsey is her own team writing effortless electro-pop melodies and lyrics with indie vibes that float along to her dreamy vocals as she sings about everyday teen angst.

Didirri has kicked off the new year with the reflective new single “Raw Stuff” and accompanying music video. True to its name, “Raw Stuff” captures an unspoken, universal experience – when two people, despite how close they are, are unable to open up to one other. Fortunately, the story and the song both find a resolution.  The Alternative singer-songwriter has also announced he'll be in North America for SXSW, followed by dates with label mates Alex The Astronaut and Jack River in Los Angeles (March 24th @ The Bootleg), Brooklyn (March 26th @ Baby's All Right), and Toronto (March 27th @ The Drake).

Heart Bones is a rare thing—a new band with a long history—which heightens both expectations and standards. See, I think that when a new thing, a creative thing, clicks into place just right and does so immediately on a level that you just know and feel is true all at once, often it's all the little ways it dares to be just a little bit off that actually makes it work. And striking this ideal ratio of The Familiar and The New is the specialist's true skill. This is exactly how Heart Bones excels.

AMC today released the official key art and a “Look at the Series” video from Jason Segel's upcoming original anthology series Dispatches from Elsewhere, created by and starring Segel.

Today, Greg Dulli, frontman of The Afghan Whigs and The Twilight Singers, releases “It Falls Apart,” the second single from his first-ever solo record, Random Desire out February 21st via Royal Cream/BMG.“'It Falls Apart' allows itself to get pulled into its darker inclinations. Perpetually falling piano notes grip at the melody, miring it in a sense of inevitable collapse. Even so, the synthesizers and drums push upward, giving Dulli's vocals something to hook onto as he sings,” said Consequence of Sound. Earlier this month Dulli also released an All That Jazz inspired music video for Random Desire's lead single “Pantomima,” directed by long-time Whigs collaborator Philip Harder. Watch the video below! Random Desire is now available for pre-order.
