“Dreamy bedroom summer pop from Oklahoma city”
Casting spells through the dream pop veil: Elly Kace's The Seventh Gate is a tender and fierce mystical journey leaning into the light, woven from strings, analog synths, and intimate conversations with those who still haunt her. Danila Kozyrev's Wraith delivers a jangly cacophonous mess bustling with melody and psychedelic production, while som som's safe space offers lo-fi but lush introspection about coming to terms with yourself. Parker Posies round it out with infectious indie pop and a punk rock soul — surfy riffs and bittersweet vocals over high school heartache.
“Backwards in blue is a sonic portal to the past, tenderly holding the pain of our ancestors in order to alchemize it into light.”
