#NEWMUSICMONDAY: Skott “Porcelain”

Skott

For this week’s New Music Monday, we have the debut single “Porcelain” from the stunning new artist Skott.

Legend goes that Skott grew up in a commune within a forest run by ‘outcast’ folk musicians. While we can surmise that folk music was a cornerstone of her childhood, the first time she heard contemporary music was through adventures into the city as a teen. The story draws instant curiosity on what her own music would sound like, considering her isolated upbringing. The answer is just what you’d expect.

Appealing to fans of Edward Sharpe, Birdy, and Say Lou Lou, “Porcelain” is a magical, modern take on traditional folk sensibilities. We can’t wait to hear more from this mysterious newcomer. Her 7″ vinyl is slated for release this summer, July 29.

Listen to “Porcelain” below.

#NEWMUSICMONDAY: Yoke Lore “Heavy Love”

yoke lore

Today, for our New Music Monday selection, which highlights the debut track from an artist, we bring you Yoke Lore’s “Heavy Love.”

Yoke Lore is the latest project from Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist and song writer Adrian Galvin. Along with stretching minds with music, Galvin also works as a yoga instructor, and spent a year studying meditation in India. The practice has paid off; “Heavy Love,” is a slice of emotive dreamy indie pop that is on-point with the complicated pain that is modern love.

“Heavy Love” may be his debut single, off the “Far Shore” EP released earlier this month, but it’s not the only track worth checking out, “Hold Me Down” is another chilling tune worth clicking on.

Keep your eyes on Yoke Lore, and watch the video for “Heavy Love” below.
