It’s Saturday afternoon and we’d imagine that most of you are either a) still sleeping, b) still drunk, or c) all of the above. As we sip on our hangover remedies with our headphones on our ears, we can’t help but dive head first into the never ending sea we like to call, Soundcloud. During this particular stumble, we came across a remix of Portugal The Man’s popular song, “Purple Yellow Red and Blue” by Boston producer, Cowp. This highly underrated artist has been on my radar (in particular) for months on end, and now I personally believe he just stepped up his production like never before.

At first listen, it’s almost impossible NOT to bump your head and throw in some ooh’s and aah’s from time to time because- hot damn- this remix is just what we needed to hear on a day like today. With a more futuristic, progressive approach, Cowp creates a fun dance anthem that incorporates many different genres underneath the electronic umbrella. Within this remix, we can identify elements of future bass, trap, indie dance, etc. that collectively give our ears an intended blend of auditory dissonance. From beginning to end, this remix progresses in a way that makes us “want to live in ecstasy”. All in all, Cowp just gave us a whole lot of YES and we’re just stoked to share this gem with all of you Saturday go-getters. So grab your free download and make sure to keep your eyes and ears on this upcoming producer.

[Indie-Pop] MONARCH – Stay

Stay

Often times we come across an artist or a band that completely change our standards and taste in music. Whenever this happens, we can’t help but experience a shift in direction as we continue along this linear path to a more refined music library selection. Earlier this week we stumbled across a debut artist, MONARCH, who consist of Brent Kutzle and Brian Willet from OneRepublic, A Fine Frenzy’s, Joel Plotnik, and vocal frontrunner, Brennan Strawn. This side project is full of extreme talent and an immense amount of potential. Today we are sharing their first single, “Stay”, which is apart of their upcoming 4-single EP, Apollo, which is set to release sometime this Spring.

“Stay” stunningly portrays a moving story that emulates that of something we would see in a contemporary dance routine. As the song progresses from a minimal baseline and crecendos into an indie-pop ballad full of mesmerizing synths, soothing vocals, and a powerful percussion, MONARCH gives us a subtle taste of vintage and modern elements that warm our hearts and coax our souls. This marks the start for a glorious new path for these guys and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us this coming year.

As we struggle to open our eyes and get out of bed on this slow, calm Friday morning, we can’t help but find some incentive to move from this comfort zone. Helping lift our sleepy spirits today are TMN natives, Kicks N Licks, and their swoon-worthy new remix of Hopium’s elusive, “Dreamers”. The producer duo approached this track in a much more heartfelt, forward-thinking way in which they completely transform the original into an uplifting, dramatic, and motivating new interpretation that will almost literally lift your soul and take you straight into the clouds.

Filled with heavenly (yet powerful) piano progressions, angelically reverberated vocals, enticing builds, and melodic drops of pure beauty, Kicks N Licks open our ears and our eyes in a much more inspiring way today. We suggest you grab your free download and keep this one on repeat because there’s no reason why you shouldn’t feel like a dreamer today.

We Were Strangers – I Believe [TMN PREMIERE]

We Were Strangers
I Believe

There is nothing truly more exciting than waking up to the sweet, melancholic sounds of a haunting piano lingering in the background of today’s overcast setting. As we sip on our morning tea and soak in the days energy, we can’t help but sink into an ethereal moment of pure, nostalgic peace that the day is projecting on us. Today just seems to be a very special day for all of us because we here at TMN are happy to introduce the world to an entirely new cup of musical tea with the sensational debut of England’s, We Were Strangers, and his first ever release, “I Believe”.

Hailing from Manchester, England, 2015 see’s the debut release of We Were Strangers. The first track ‘I Believe’ starts with a haunting piano line before the crescendo of the warm and melodic vocals enters the fray.

This heart-wrenching yet cozy new single is filled with moving elements that collectively depict a story about longing for something that just isn’t quite there anymore. This lyric-driven original sends us down a road of agonizing pain, helplessness, and turns us around with its subtle hints of optimism during this moment of loss. “I Believe” is undeniably a timeless track that will leave you in a state of existential euphoria, so do yourself a favor and pour yourself another cup of tea, open your windows, and let this iridescent track coax your morning with rays of reminiscent sunshine.
