Marlene Oak | “Slip Away”
Stockholm’s Marlene Oak doesn’t sound much like ABBA, but we don’t mind. Her powerful vocals and folk influences sound more at home on this side of the Atlantic.

The Deep Hollow | Weary Traveler
Americana trio The Deep Hollow cranked it up a notch for their sophomore album. “I wasn’t totally sold on having a fuller sound. I was a little nervous going in,” frontman Micah Walker noted. “I was prepared to do it the way we did the last one. I’m really happy with the way it turned out, but it is a little different than our debut.”

80s-inspired, dance-pop group Fickle Friends’ new EP is a lycra-clad, neon-pink trip to the past. An unapologetically catchy, synthesized daydream, this EP comes hot on the heels of the band’s debut album You Are Someone Else.
