Wired with a steely organ line and bright with Yé-yé aesthetics, “I Am The River” is the razor-edged, vintage-grained and darkly-celebratory new single from L.A.’s Lael Neale.

Ontario’s Bria — an accomplished guitarist and alt-Country provocateur — has unleashed her take on Paula Cole’s “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?”, its sawtoothed, Goth edges smoothed with an uneasy elegance by humor and strength.

A brightly-assured, jangling and pedal-effects-painted joy, “Say It Now” is the swoonsome brand-new single from New York City’s Hannah Jadagu. It’s out right now on Sub Pop. This is the sole release that she has planned for this year, but her debut full-length will arrive in the new one.
