Lights & Motion's latest album Dear Avalanche is coming to vinyl for the first time on December 15th and pre-orders are available now! The latest offering in a discography often described as the ultimate symmetry of music and emotion, Dear Avalanche is the most accomplished and fully realized expression of sounds to date from Lights & Motion mastermind, Christoffer Franzén.
Christoffer Franzén says,
”Having the album pressed as vinyl was a way for me to try and extend the vision for the album one step further. The decision to create two very special colour designs felt really exciting and that was something I gravitated towards immediately. When I compose music I...
The long-awaited debut full-length album from Norfolk, Virginia's Demons, Embrace Wolf, will be released on December 1st. Founded by Zach Gehring, longtime guitarist/vocalist for Mae, Demons is a completely different animal. Forces of equal magnitude unite, react, and detonate. Pounding drums, erratic riffs, fervent lyrics, and structure descend into abstraction. And on the band's debut album, we’re gifted with nine blistering songs exploring a spectrum of anxiety, aberrations, and awe with deliberate recklessness. Listen to the new song “Always Your Own” at BrooklynVegan and pre-order the album on limited edition vinyl to get an instant download of the song now!

American Opera, the creation of Brooklyn singer-songwriter John Bee, is premiering the new music video for "Sand & Seed" today on Huffpost. The song appears on the debut album Small Victories which is available now on limited edition LP, CD, and digital outlets everywhere!
Bee tells Huffpost:
"My live shows consisted of mostly slow songs so I wanted to write an upbeat number that would change up the pace. The song is about the process of pouring all of your time and energy into something that ultimately blows up in your face, wondering why you do it, remembering why you do it, and continuing to do it."

American Opera is the creation of Brooklyn-via-Michigan singer-songwriter John Bee. The debut album, Small Victories, will be released into the world on June 30th and the title track is premiering today exclusively on Idobi Radio.
Says John Bee about the song:
The song "Small Victories" is what happens if you take Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" too seriously. I moved to New York the day after the city was hit by Superstorm Sandy. The area was hit hard. Power was out. Mass transit was down. We were driving through Pennsylvania on I-80 alongside emergency crews thinking to ourselves, "what are we driving in to?" Cabs didn't have gas to take you more...
