If you go this way you will get an idea of how much we appreciate Mat McHughs music. And actually even himself. Even more since we had the chance to have a chat on skype with him and his manager. Yep, to visit these guys is def one stop on our “CM travels the world and meets all the great music lovers and makers in real life” tour. If you follow this link you will find out how much we celebrate the young talented producer and remixer Wolfskind. And if you just stay here and press play you will know why this song is something special: Mat McHughs lovely song “Strange Days” put in a new robe by Wolfskind. Fighting against the new Soundcloud rules he gave us just a snippet to listen to but this makes it even more exciting. We already followed the buy link to get the whole song and it’s no disappointment at all. Verified Sources: DailyMail Article – Best Guide of Bingo Casino Sites in UK

Oh wow jipieeh yeah! Band of Horses AND Iron & Wine are doing a collaborative album called “Sing Into My Mouth”. And to tell it in their words “its a loving homage to 12 songs that have had indelible influence on both of its creators”. In my words: Simply beautiful like all of their music. Wow jipieeh yeah! Release date is 17th of July and the perfect delayed birthday gift for myself :)
We have been a lively supporter of Lions Head ever since we first heard their first release “Begging”. It was pretty clear that they were gonna blow up really soon with the ear candy they had to offer. So it comes as no surprise that their first official video had to be eye candy. Enjoy it, it’s a soothing piece of video that’s pretty much in tune with the zeitgeisty look and feel of the web and reminds a bit of the intro trailer to True Detective. I got told in their mail, that the video was done on the down low – and that’s just mind-blowing, consiering the quality! Enjoy the video. This song to me is literally #summer2015 . Well done Iggy & Philip.

Lions Head put up their 2nd song on Soundcloud and it seems like they really continue their road trip to paradise. With “Firecracker” it feels like the German/American Duo invites us to a warm summer night at the campfire…With all our loved once, cold drinks and enough blankets to stay up all night. A night full of laughter and love – and sometimes when you look up in the sky even the shooting stars seem to dance.
Just this weekend Lions Head has been the support of Milky Chance – I guess that’s a really good start to reach the milky way and who knows who will stay longer stoned in paradise :)

Molly Moore, an emerging singer-songwriter, first caught our attention with “Natural Disaster” a tune that has racked up the love on SoundCloud, garnering over 35,000 plays so far.
Moore’s newish tune “Don’t Believe It” delivers an emotional performance that plucks at the heart strings. We truly get to see her range as a postmodern folk-pop queen. Look out, she’s just begun her voyage.
1) What talent past and present has influenced you?
I grew up in the 90’s so that era of pop music definitely had an influence on my taste at an early age. I loved Alanis Morissette; “Jagged Little Pill” was one of the first full albums that I listened to. Along with “…Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears. Third Eye Blind also holds a special place in my heart. John Mayer, Coldplay, Lily Allen, The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Banks, Imogen Heap, the list goes on.
2) Who would you like to collaborate with?
I kept trying to find a different answer but the honest one is Max Martin. :)
3) Please talk a bit more about “Don’t Believe It.” It’s received a ton of love but more importantly, there is an important message behind it.
This song means a lot to me because of what it stands for. It ain’t real if you don’t believe it. Instead of accepting all the worry, darkness and hurt the world throws on us, what if we instead chose to see only light? It is easier said than done but I believe if you make it through the breaking point, your strength increases tenfold and your perspective widens. “Don’t Believe It” is really a song about changing perspective and seeing the bigger picture.
4) How did you link up with Win & Woo?
I reached out to them because I heard a remix of theirs on The Hype Machine and loved it. Afterwards I realized I’d missed a DM on twitter from them 2 months earlier and was so glad they got back to me when I finally messaged them! They’re really talented guys from Chicago, great vibes :-)
5) How did you get started as a singer-songwriter?
I was 7 when I was inspired to write my first attempt at a song called “Anarchy Girl” about my sister. My dad helped me put melodies to my lyrics. I think it’s safe to say I started there. I did a lot of musical theater growing up which exposed me to some amazing songwriters like Jason Robert Brown and Sondheim. My dad taught me the basics of piano & guitar. I always loved singing. I always wanted to perform for as long as I can remember. I graduated high school 6 months early to work and record my first “official” demos, kept recording & started getting gratis licenses on my own for the songs I was writing.
6) You’ve reposted some more “Pop” EDM (DubVision’s “Hollow” and Felix Cartel – “Ready For Love” ) in the past and there’s some EDM infused beats in your music. What’s your take on EDM? Is it a fad? How is it to sing over? How do you pick a beat?
I wrote those songs I reposted! I definitely have mixed feelings on this one. I think that there’s definitely been an over-saturation of music in this genre that doesn’t set itself apart. My goal with anything I do is to set myself apart. I might not always succeed but that’s always what I’m aiming for. I don’t particularly love tracking vocals over EDM tracks only because it takes some of the innocence away from the emotive experience I’m having, if that makes sense. I like to write to tracks that have breathing room for me to think, sing, have silence, have moments. You know? It’s hard to get inspired when there’s a new noise every millisecond in a track.
7) Who should we be listening to?
Brandyn Burnette, Banks, FKA Twigs.
