RELEASE RADAR is here to give you the breakdown of the top singles, albums, and videos of the week, so you can head into your weekend with a new list of killer tunes. Get ready to jam out with some of our favorite up-and-coming artists, plus celebrate new stuff from those you already know and love.


SINGLES…

8 Graves | “Bury Me Low”

“Future grunge” is the perfect way to describe NYC duo 8 Graves. Their self-produced tracks have a DIY attitude with modern beats. “Bury Me Low” sticks to that basic formula and adds an angsty edge.

Girl Wilde | “BADSIDE”

We don’t consider Girl Wilde’s latest single a traditional pop song–there’s equal parts grunge-y guitar, infectious lyrics, and a modern undercurrent of synth. Altogether, it’s pretty “Wilde.”

Moda Spira | “Bang”

The second single from Moda Spira’s upcoming album (out next Friday) reveals a piece of the singer-songwriter’s soul; “Regret” paints an intimate portrait of what went wrong in a relationship what could have been.

ALBUMS/EPs…

Doe Paoro | Soft Power

Doe Paoro’s third album is a swift departure from her previous work. The L.A. singer-songwriter layered clean instrumentals with painfully honest lyrics. “So much of the album is about reclaiming parts of myself that I had lost,” she said.

Nuela Charles | Distant Danger

Canadian soul queen Nuela Charles is back with her third EP, which is just as unabashedly honest as it is catchy.

Belle Mare | Liar

Kick back with Brooklyn duo Belle Mare’s dreamy EP. The mid-tempo tracks and their punchy lyrics guide you through a hazy alternate universe that’s just as mellow as it is stimulating.

Spirit Award | Muted Crowd

Psych pop trio Spirit Award offers the perfect soundtrack to their native city, Seattle. Moody soundscapes meet fuzzy guitars; you can almost hear the Puget Sound fog as it settles into the background.
