No One Sphere share final video ahead of March 18 LP release

"'Twin Coasts' is my love letter to all those west coast kids. In the early 2000s, I spent 9 months up and down California’s state lines and I absolutely adored the scenery. The vibe out there is incredibly chill compared to what you’ll find out on the east coast. As much as I love the ‘Hakuna Matata’ ethos out there, I’m equally in love with what I’ve embraced out here on the opposite side of the country. I feel like both coasts are twins. They’re certainly not identical twins but they have enough similarities between them both to bring them together for a nice thanksgiving meal around the table with that drunk uncle who always shows up for the free booze." - Dave Mann

Occlusions annouce self-titled LP, share first single+video

Occlusions is the Alt-R&B duo of vocalist Leigh Bahari (they/them, Philadelphia) and producer Alex Gorischek (he/him, Seattle). Comparisons could be drawn to FKA twigs, Kelela, Gold Panda, Andy Stott, and others. Their self-titled full-length will be out May 13 and today sees the release of the first single/video.

"After reconnecting with an old friend, I found out that he had gotten into heroin pretty badly. It caught me off guard, and I didn’t really understand what was going on at the time. He asked me for help, but I didn’t know what to do. I had never been in that situation before. Our friendship quickly fell apart and I had to cut ties. I wanted my childhood friend back, but it felt like he was gone. This song is about that experience." - Leigh Bahari

Brooklyn experimental pop band Pastel Hell have released the first single from their upcoming Ruthie LP.
