Artist Watch: Julian Anderson & the Puget Sound Convergence Zone
A candid country EP that’s easy to love, Julian Anderson’s songs feature a brilliant band, nothing-to-hide lyrics, and an affable twang that invites listeners to pour themselves a drink… even on a Tuesday.
Bedroom Pop
There’s nothing to hide in Bedroom Pop (E&E-039) as dreamy, tender indie-inspired tracks balance pop synths and warbly guitars with charming vocal hooks.
Backpack Beats
Backpack Beats builds off hip-hop beats from genres like trap, old skool, and trip hop to create a colorful collage of mysterious, mellow, dramatic, and dreamy scenes.
Emotional Pop
Featuring singular vocal hooks, simple lyrics communicate not-so-simple thoughts and feelings over a lush pop atmosphere.
Luxe Synths
Nocturnally inspired and emotionally rich synth pop soundtrack that simultaneously conjures retro vibes while fueling futuristic dreams.
Lo-Fi Beats
More present than ambient, more free than chill-hop, more jazzy than funky, taking elements of each to find the distinctly warm, floating sound of Lo-Fi Beats.
New Wave UK
Emotional, yet danceable retro sounds that combine the edginess of post-punk and the shiny synths of the era.
