A captivating intimacy silhouetted by a hypnotic surf/dream-pop groove, “Let Me Get There,” the new single from Mazzy Star singer Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions, is a song whose subtle intricacies stick. The track, which also features Kurt Vile, plays off the relaxed, heart-warming vocal duet/conversation as delicate keys and the light yet firm grasp of the twisting backend meet with warm stretches of guitar, hitting against the shore. The single is featured on the forthcoming album Until the Hunter, which will be released on November 4 via Tendril Tales.

Though it looked like Ape School had been seemingly put to rest, Michael Johnson continues to still record (and earlier this year perform) under the moniker. Below is "Haunt If You Want," the final track on his upcoming LP. Death is Messy is due out in early 2017 via Boiled Records. (Photo by Darshana Borah)

Hello Shark has been methodically rolling out tracks from his forthcoming album Delicate. He spent most of last month on tour with Advance Base, a.k.a. Owen Ashworth (formerly known as Casiotone for the Painfully Alone), who runs Orindal Records. The Chicago label will also be releasing his LP this Friday, September 30, and Hello Shark will be celebrating its arrival that same evening in Philly at All Night Diner with Power Animal, Mega Bog, and Amanda Glasser. You can now stream the record in its entirety over at Impose Magazine. Enjoy!

Raw, visceral, dreamy, anything she wants to sound like. Abi Reimold brings a sound and fury that cradles - sometimes like a loving mother, and other times like a bed of razor blades. But it is always hauntingly beautiful. And she’ll be bringing that sound and fury to Space 1026 when she opens for avant-pop Brooklynites Ava Luna. They'll also be joined by Philly psych-popsters Laser Background. Come out for a rare performance at the Chinatown art space! Space 1026, 1026 Arch St., $10, All Ages (Photo by Skyler Burkhart) - Keith Kelley

Straddling the line between Suzanne Vega's intellectual but vulnerable songwriting and Belly's dreamy pop melodicism, Soccer Mommy, the project of songwriter Sophie Allison, recently relocated from Nashville to NYC. Since 2015, the young lady has released three strictly self-produced EPs (two of them are called 'songs of my bedroom') and one full length album entitled 'for young hearts.' Single and opening track 'Henry' (streaming below) shines for its imaginative lyrics, with Sophie trying to guess a loved boy's thoughts and feelings, accompanied by a heart wrenching melody. NYC 'young hearts' shouldn't miss her show at the Silent Barn on 10.02
