Album: You Can Be You, I Can Be Me Artist: Errunhrd Genre: #dreampop #synthpop #ambientpop Errunhrd is the creation of Niagara Falls artist Shirin Ghoujalou. She has slowly crafted her dream-pop sound throughout previous projects culminating in the new album You Can Be You, I Can Be Me, self-released November 19th, 2021.

Single: Trophy Artist: Crumb Genre: #Alternative #Indie #indierock Sub-Genres: #dreampop #neopsychadelic Label: Crumb Records Non-Airable Tracks: N/A ​ Description Crumb is a band like no other. In each song released, one is able to feel equally relaxed, yet waiting for the next sonic climax to come to the forefront. Their latest single 'Trophy' is no exception to these musical anomalies.

Album: The Strawberry EP Artist: Dear Boy Genre: #IndiePop, #DreamPop Label: Easy Hell Review: This EP draws from the well-established tradition of dreamy, bright indie pop in the vein of groups such as The Cranberries and The Sundays, or more recently, Hatchie. The guitars here sparkle, the vocals have an airy, ethereal quality, and the drums tumble along with a workmanlike quality. Of the five songs here, four maintain more upbeat pop tempos, whereas “Something Good”, the m

Album: What Chaos is Imaginary Artist: Girlpool Genre: #Indie #Rock Sub-Genres: #DreamPop, #LoFi Label: Anti Music Non-Airable Tracks: None Description: Girlpool’s greatest strengths are their versatility in song writing.

Album: EP III Artist: Yumi Zouma Genre: #Alternative Sub-Genres: #DreamPop, #IndieDream Label: Cascine Non-Airable Tracks: None Description: ZOOOOOEEEE MAMAMaA is what our alt, director Michael Jepson thought of when he saw the band name, and it what I thought of when I heard the music. I GUARANTEE this is the best band you had never heard of (or maybe you have and are very cool). Yumi Zouma is from New Zealand which is where the best music comes from. They moved away from ea

Album: Delmano EP Artist: MUNYA Genre: #Alternative/ #Indie Sub-Genres: dreampop, shoegaze Label: Luminelle Recordings Non-Airable Tracks: None Description: This EP is the second of three EP’s to be released by MUNYA in 2018, and all are named after significant places for the artist, in this case the Hotel Demano in Williamsburg.
