[Indie] Slow Skies – On The Shore

slow skies
on the shore

Sometimes sifting through an endless stream of new music each day can be a little taxing on the ears, but it’s all worth it when you find something like this utterly transfixing track called “On The Shore”. Crafted by Dublin duo Slow Skies, it’s got such a beautiful ghostliness to it, gentle and understated, yet so powerful and consuming. Karen Sheridan’s unique vocals sound so fragile, as though on the verge of shattering into a million pieces, and when she coos long “oooh’s”, she does it with such emotion, like she’s finally exhaling after years and years of holding her breath. If the music wasn’t enough to touch the depths of your heart, then let the track’s poetic lyrics do the literal talking:

“Be the love that I am sure of”.

Slow Skies forthcoming Close EP is due out May 4th. We highly suggest you look out for it.

Justin Timberlake feat Jay-Z – Suit and Tie (TOKiMONSTA Remix)

Justin Timberlake feat JAY Z
Suit and Tie (TOKiMONSTA Remix)

Fresh off her track “Go With It” featuring MNDR, Los Angeles producer TOKiMONSTA is back with an awesome remix of the now-everywhere Justin Timberlake single “Suit and Tie” (and maybe I prefer it over the original? maybe). With heavy bass trickling up, down and all around alongside cutting electronic effects and scrambled vocal twists, this rework benefits greatly from a much-needed dose of colorful and creative arrangements and relentless, consuming energy.
