YENS – Late Nights @yungoki
San Francisco’s YENS makes an effortless debut on “Late nightS” — a summation of his laid back sound that centers around the guitar, extending into dreampop, bedroom, and hiphop influences. Distorted hiphop vocals counterpoint dreampop guitar melodies on a track that provides a refreshing take on guitar-based music. YENS focuses on how he’s speaking more than what he’s speaking, capturing the lighthearted yet depresed feeling of using intoxicated late nights to temporarily null emotional pain as he sings, “Why is everything so black and white. I guess it’s out of mind it’s out of sight.” Entirely self-produced and engineered, “Late Nights” shows YENS at his best, creating vibe music that…

John Alone – Two Suns @_JOHNALONE
John Alone’s “Two Suns” is more than a pop song. It serves as a reflective celebration of a life that gives no real answers to the big questions. “Are we alone?”, “Is there a god?”, “Will anything ever work out?” The song gives no solutions to these queries, rather preferring to focus on the beauty of a world where nothing is promised, and hope is the only constant. Some days, dancing like there’s two suns is really all you can do, even when there’s nothing to dance about. John Alone is a maverick. At 22 years old, he is fast approaching the height of his technical and musical prowess, handling…

Marcoof500 – Pesos @Marcoof500
“Marco The Merchant” is a nine-song affair from Marcoof500 that offers an exciting blend of stylistic elements with varying degrees of commercial viability and earworm appeal. With the release, he delivers “Pesos”. While he uses a familiar formula on a number of the songs — that still manage to work — like the piano-driven “500k,” it’s when he puts his marketability on display that you get a full spectrum of his vision. “Pesos” is a definite standout, with an instrumental that sounds ripe for a YG feature. It’s one of the sole records that you could easily hear at the club, or within a mix show format, with its repetitive…
