Today, the world welcomes Oyster Love with open arms – the new EP baby from retro-esque duo Juno Francis (Angelica Ranåsen and Jacob Fagerstå). Self described as “the lovechild of a 60s gentleman and an 80s lady”, this Berlin based duo first caught my ears on Instagram with their track “Queen’s Anthem”, which yes, I
deryk’s new EP got me like Also what an album cover, am I right? I could paraphrase this but you know how I feel about paraphrasing, so here’s it is from Madeline Bradley AKA deryk herself: My two favorites are the hard-hitting ‘Call You Out’: And the absolutely gorgeous goodtimes: This is a good article

So this song is absolutely gorgeous. At least I think, it’s half in Japanese (kind of like me) and I only speak a little Japanese but it sounds pretty gorg to me. You’ll get the whole story from watching the video, but the summary is that Jonah Yano went to Japan to see his father
The final notes ring out, as Josh Dominguez’s concluding moments of his latest single, Air It Out, quiets the buzz and clamor of the Peppermint Club crowd. A spell was cast through the track’s confluence of honest candor and lounge jazz, allowing for a moment of silence amongst the audience as Josh delivers the song’s
We were fortunate to have an in-depth interview with LoneMoon about her just-released AOTY contender kit@Nai (pronounced kitanai like dirty in Japanese). Here’s what’s up.
