New forays into shoegaze dreamscapes, jazz splashes, R&B swag and multi-faceted beats
Monday’s usually bring multiple hits of coffee, dread for a week’s worth of toil and dreamy longing of the past weekend’s events.
Whether these things are considered good or bad, Monday also brings a new week to listen to new music from our shores and the next.
Here’s 9 new tracks to hit the HappyMag radar.
Seagull – ‘Come Lay Down in the Water’
This specific track from the Melbourne-based band’s newest album, Bow Down Megafauna, gives a drony spectacle while Bolton brings out a hopeful and heartfelt lens out over the water.
Pink Jagg – ‘Shotgun’
This newest single establishes its presence straightaway with a jazzy intro before Pink Jagg comes in with a laid back swaggy delivery. These two core elements make a standout track that fits into the specific gap left behind by the late Mac Miller.
