BANKS: Sawzall

From BANKS’ latest album, iii (out now on Harvest Records), “Sawzall” is a delicate dreampop tune that floats along delicately until it bellows into industrial drum-heavy and autotune-drenched electronics—with ’80s-era harps sprinkled on top. Despite all these elements at play, careful attention should be paid to BANKS’ elastic vocals, as the lyrics tell an emotional tale of love, loss and guilt.

Loony: Tread

Toronto-based singer/songwriter Loony (aka Kira Huszar) has just released the rich and stirring “Tread.” With impassioned, layered vocals and plenty of neo-soul and R&B influences, it’s a soulful and sophisticated song from the young artist. Loony will be touring with RHYE through Canada this summer.

BEA1991: modern comforts

From her upcoming record Brand New Adult, BEA1991’s “modern comforts” starts off dark and monotone, before taking a thrilling turn—with echoes, dramatic beats and a gooey bass line. It’s a soundscape that shape-shifts several times over its four-minute lifespan; taking tips from countless genres. While the Dutch artist has been releasing music for years, Brand New Adult will be her debut solo LP.
