2021.5 Staff Picks Playlist

Posted on April 30, 2021October 7, 2021 by Caro Malphrus

Hey there Vinyl Mag subscribers, long time no talk. To reign in the 2021 VM revival, consider this the first half of 2021’s staff top picks. 2020 and 2021 have definitely been a whirlwind, might I call them… “unprecedented times” (okay, I’m sorry… I won’t say it again). However, that can’t stop the jams from…

Track Premiere: Tyler Boone – “Jealousy”

Posted on July 31, 2018July 30, 2018 by Vinyl Mag

Charleston singer-songwriter Tyler Boone and his band are driving home Boone’s departure from his previous pop-leaning sound with his new title track, “Jealousy,” the second single from his forthcoming EP.  The single pulls no punches, packing harsh lyrics condemning a toxic, jealous relationship (not to mention a pretty killer guitar solo). “This track was something I’ve been working on…

Posted on June 15, 2018June 15, 2018 by Emily McBride

Reverie Rush is the heart-wrenching bedroom pop solo project of Athens, GA-based multi-instrumentalist, Andy Barton.  Written after moving from Athens to Atlanta and back again in the span of a year, Barton’s debut release, the Beginners EP, drops today (as in, right here, right now). “I lived in the city for about a year or so to…

Track Premiere: Michael Flynn – “Professional Network”

Posted on April 20, 2018April 20, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Oh man, how many notifications do I have right now? There’s at least 300 for Whats-App on my phone at any given time. I can’t imagine how many LinkedIn notifications songwriting folkster Michael Flynn (formerly of Slow Runner) must have gotten to inspire this song: “I wrote this song from beneath a giant pile of LinkedIn invitations. …

Track Premiere: Saw Black – “Mama Knows”

Posted on April 18, 2018May 14, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Are you feeling comfortable right now? Wrapping up in a blanket might be the best move for listening to this one. Richmond, VA folk artist Saw Black’s new single “Mama Knows” is so pillowy and lush, that anything less than your coziest outfit will seem out of place once you press play. While his voice never…

Posted on March 20, 2018March 21, 2018 by Anna Lee

Indie pop band Wild Child has grown a lot since Alexander Beggins and Kelsey Wilson initially formed the group seven years ago.

Nap Eyes: ‘ I’m Bad Now ‘

Posted on March 9, 2018March 10, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Upon first listen, Nova Scotia, Canada natives Nap Eyes‘ I’m Bad Now felt like nothing but a snarky stoner’s revelry. Too zonked or tired out to outgrow the comfortable Loaded era Velvet Underground,  Nashville or SoCal instrumental trappings, the album on first listen quite frankly felt very flat. Oh, how wrong I was. Like an unglazed clay pot…

Camp Cope: ‘How to Socialise and Make Friends’

Posted on March 2, 2018March 8, 2018 by Sebastian Marquez

Let me get one thing out of the way: Camp Cope are not fucking around. The moment singer/guitarist Georgia “Maq” McDonald lets loose the first lyrics of the How to Socialise and Make Friends, all bets are off that this is going to be an easy listen. Don’t get me wrong, the instrumentation on the…
