Another great one from Mango Lane! These guys kill the bedroom chill, synth-rock genre. It feels spacey and nostalgic with swooning vocals and laid back groove.

 

3. Isles of ESP - "War On All Sides"

Moody and brooding. This acoustic, lyrical number is intellectual and poetic. It makes you think, and that's what music is really all about. Nothing fancy, just a simplistic guitar track to draw the ear towards the words.

 

4. Holly Bernt Band - "Wake Up, Love"

Warm and cozy, Holly Bernt serenades us with her hauntingly beautiful voice and delicate guitar chords. A dusty piano plunks a sweet harmony in the backdrop and it almost feels like you're in a dream. Settle down and soak this one in.

 

5. Ancient Language - "Alive Tonight"

One of the sickest duos in Detroit, Junglefowl just released a hard-hitting single that will knock your socks off. It's alternative, heavy and sickeningly addictive. The vocals are dripping wet and the guitars rage hard throughout the entirety of the track. It's amazeballs.

9. Mother Cyborg - "Earth Dreams"

Get transported to another dimension with Mother Cyborg's track, "Earth Dreams." It's simplistic and synthy, with poetic lyricism and creeping vocals. It's a piece of artistic expression through music.

10. Sax and Violence - "Underworldly"
