DM Arthur – “Sun Is Gone”

DM Arthur’s new single “Sun Is Gone” is a stripped-down yet cinematic reflection on the fleeting nature of hope. Written after a rough night shift and inspired by a brief moment of sunlight breaking through a window, the song moves between light and shadow, both sonically and emotionally.

Gearing up for the release of her new album ‘(i think) i might be grown’, Mae Krell gives her fans a preview with the latest single “feeling too much”. Inspired by the emotions and revelations she and her girlfriend dealt with, the sentimental indie folk track is more than your typical love song. I have always been able to go on tour without worrying about my family and friends too much. I’ve built those relationships to be okay when I am away for a few weeks and not have anything change when I come back. This tour felt different because I truly just missed my girlfriend so much, and it was unusual for me that playing a show didn’t make that feeling of missing someone go away. It’s the first time that I really felt like I was risking losing someone to follow my dreams. Known for her exceptional lyricism, […]

After having not seen much from them in a while, I suddenly noticed that they had moved away from the city and were still in touch, like we had always talked about doing… but it seemed like I was the only one who didn’t. I consciously know that I made the decisions that were the best fit for me considering individual circumstances, but sometimes when I see glimpses of where I could be if I had made a different […]
