Nashville-based Young Brother is the new left of center pop music project from singer-songwriter Dalton Diehl. The sleek, emotional yet vibrant and colorful pop music is heavily influenced by American new wave of pop.
The debut single “Kamikaze” was released independently on October 21, 2014. With “Kamikaze” making waves of its own, Young Brother plans to release new music top of 2016.
Brooklyn-based folktronic band Howard continue to attract buzz following the release of their debut LP, Religion. Lead single, “Money Can’t Buy”, has just surpassed 4.5 million streams on Spotify.
Howard, a blog favorite, has been featured on Consequence of Sound, Indie Shuffle and NPR to name a few. Most recently Howard received praise for their SXSW performance by Bob Boilen on All Things Considered.
Self-produced and crafted with homemade samples, Howard’s debut LP explores song-crafting through airy vocals, ethereal space, and hypnotic rhythm. Citing Other Lives, Philip Glass, Aphex Twin, and Fleet Foxes as influences, this band creates intricate and textured folk songs with a mood that provokes introspection.
Howard consists of Howard Feibusch (producer, guitar, vocals) and Myles Heff (bass) teamed up with Chris Holdridge (drums) and Alex Chakour (synths, guitar).
