The Accidentals – “Go Getter”
The Accidentals’ new single “Go Getter” is a breezy Sarah Jarosz-meets-The Sundays kind of track about not getting bogged down in the details. Delicate harmonies and well-placed pizzicato make this smooth song flow. Be sure to check the accompanying goat-tastic music video.

Strand of Oaks – “Galacticana”
Tim Showalter, who makes music as Strand Of Oaks, announced his forthcoming album In Heaven with the release of single “Galacticana”; this slice of lush, atmospheric, folk-tinged rock conjures daydreams of desert nights lit by galaxies of stars. Perfect for sitting on the car hood, leaning back against the windshield, and pondering the universe.

Sean Rowe – “To Make it Real“
Internationally-acclaimed artist Sean Rowe announced his forthcoming LP The Darkness Dressed In Colored Lights (out October 8th via Fluff & Gravy Records) with the release of his single “To Make It Real.” What starts as the sun-drenched sound of the Laurel Canyon-era music scene in its verses builds into a Radiohead-esque waterfall of energy in its choruses. There’s something about Rowe’s baritone that cuts right to the core, the feeling of heartbreak and reckoning palpable at every turn.
