Avery Friedman on the KaterFM stream tonight! 8:45pm ET!

Jeannel is a classically trained cellist, and “Angel” opens with just her cello before a loose, shifting beat comes in to guide the song. It’s our Song Pick of the Day, and we’ve been following her since 2019. #newmusic #glamglarepick

A synth pulse opens the door; @anniehamilton.bsky.social’s “chainmail” makes the descent into her “sunshine gothic” world an enchanting one. #newmusic #musicsky

Today’s Song Pick of the Day is “Vampire” by Pen Pin, the LA duo of Jeni Magaña and Emily Moore. It’s a song about friendship that leans into its title with subtle horror-movie sound effects, and Jeni’s story behind it involves You’ve Got Mail. Listen and watch the video on glamglare. #newmusic

Some songs make you name your favorite bands; @blackdoldrums.bsky.social’s “Echoes” makes you forget the comparisons and turn it up. #glamglarepick

A new Warpaint album? Not quite; it's just a live album. There aren't many of those around anymore, but it makes sense for a band that likes to jam onstage. Unfortunately, there's only one song from an NYC gig on it, and they played two nights, so I'm not sure if we've been there.

Today’s Song Pick of the Day is Nabihah Iqbal’s “Heaven Can Wait,” a song about friendship and ordinary good days. Grounded verses, a chorus that lifts just a little, and a full-band feel that makes it warm. Listen and watch the video on the blog. #glamglarepick

Heavy synths, intimate whispers, and a melody that haunts: Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore and his collaborators in MG x CD + JL = probe the unexplained on “Cross Whisper.” #glamglarepick

Tusks spent time with vintage synthesizers in a university studio, and the first single from her new album Do I See You There? has the weight to show for it. “How Can I Be the Same” is raw, heavy, and carefully produced. Song Pick of the Day. #newmusic #musicsky #glamglarepick

Today’s Song Pick of the Day is “Drifting” by Detalji, the single from their new album Imagine Life. It feels of a piece, and somewhere along the way the mood turns from avoiding a heartbreak to living through the aftermath. #glamglarepick

Restless turns, an insistent beat, and a beauty that draws you further in: iowna’s “Somewhere Else” is a hypnotic invitation to get a little lost. #glamglarepick

Song Pick of the Day: “Overflow” by GEISTE. Water as a metaphor for love, with a voice that sounds euphoric and a little unsteady. Listen here: #newmusic #musicsky

MACEDO draw you in with lovely pop, then leave you with the pointed question at the heart of “Do You Believe Me Now?” #glamglarepick

Today’s Song Pick: “Orange” by Zurich-based Mel D. Layers of electronics float under her bright voice, sometimes nudging her forward, sometimes holding her back. It’s a complex song that somehow sounds simple. 🍊 #glamglarepick #newmusic

With close harmonies and a cinematic ’70s glow, Burr Island’s “Longest Shadow” turns fading love into something luminous. #newmusic #musicsky

Song Pick of the Day: Sarah Smith’s “Point of No Return.” It’s fast, catchy pop with a restless beat and ominous synths, the kind of thing you could have caught on the radio in the late ’80s. She explains the idea behind it in the post. #glamglarepick

With “Indigo,” gemini rose turns stillness into something beautifully alive. #glamglarepick

We have a festival around the corner from where we live. Thanks New Colossus!

Today’s Song Pick of the Day is @averyfriedman.bsky.social’s “You Move.” It opens with some reluctance, then a riff arrives that makes standing still hard. It’s a song about trusting a new spark in unsettled times, and the video is worth a watch too. #newmusic #musicsky

SUM SUN turn glances, sparks, and golden-hour motion into the euphoric “Rendezvous.” Our Song Pick of the Day. #glamglarepick

@helenganya.bsky.social was asked to boil down a whole year into an essence, and her answer is “Make It Easy,” a song that sounds anything but. Layered, restless, and a little ominous. Today’s Song Pick. #glamglarepick

A tender closing track by Vacation with a quiet glow, “Lucky, Forever” makes sincerity feel wonderfully light. #glamglarepick

Song Pick of the Day: “Don’t” by Odette. The Sydney-based singer-songwriter almost rushes through the lyrics over piano and pizzicato strings that roll like waves, and it's a song she was hesitant to write. Listen, and watch the video. #newmusic #musicsky #glamglarepick

A nervous glow runs through "Setting Sun," and somehow Dragonflies make it irresistible. Restless, hypnotic, and beautifully uneasy. #glamglarepick

Today's Song Pick of the Day is "Marigold & Cosmos" by Calico City, a Perth six-piece who formed in high school and mix alternative rock with reggae influences. It's from their debut EP Second in Line, which is all about the grey areas of friendship. #glamglarepick

Some songs stay close because they understand the space between holding on and moving forward. Wynd’s “Hopeful” is one of them. #glamglarepick

Today’s Song Pick of the Day: Siri Neel’s “West Street,” a power-pop anthem about shaking off self-doubt and staying curious about who you might become. Give it a listen: #glamglarepick #newmusic

JoJo Worthington’s “Ever Ender Star Infinity” looks to the stars and finds longing, wonder, and a luminous pop core. #glamglarepick

Today’s Song Pick: MINOE’s “Small Town Girls,” a Sundance-style sketch of drunken nights, friends, and a dream of getting out. The Canadian singer-songwriter calls it an ode to the women who grew up tough. #newmusic #musicsky

CBVB’s “I’ve Been In Trouble Before” turns trouble into a warm, pensive psych-pop confession. #glamglarepick

Song Pick of the Day: Dutch Mustard's "Hear Me Out." London's Dutch Mustard (aka SJ) turns a plea to be heard into a sing-along built for a room full of people, not just one. New on the blog. #glamglarepick

Johnny Lloyd and Rosie Oddie’s voices meet beautifully on Band of Revelations’ “Wishing Well,” a love song with a chorus that stays with you. #glamglarepick

Song Pick of the Day: Tan Brown's "Freedom, Pt. 2," closing out her new EP For The End. The first minute and a half is pure reggae warmth — after that, it's not quite what you'd expect. #newmusic #musicsky #glamglarepick

Tove Styrke’s enchanting “Me/You (always and forever)” wraps the complicated art of living with yourself in softly glowing synths. #newmusic #musicsky

Our Song Pick of the Day is "summer tides" by Celestina — a hushed, melancholy track about holding onto a good time after it's gone. Fitting listening for these last days of September. #musicsky

Big feelings, spectacular vocals, and a dreamlike world of land, water, shadow, and light meet in New Constellations’ “I’m Waiting Now.” #glamglarepick

Today's Song Pick: Kat Greta's "I Know What This Is" — a bright, energetic pop track hiding a much more bittersweet story underneath. The atmospheric video says the rest. #glamglarepick #musicsky

New York goth three-piece Some Days Are Darker explore the intoxicating blur between devotion and obsession on “Memorize You.” #glamglarepick

HAiiNES brings warmth, movement, and connection to the irresistible “Where the Light Finds Us.” #newmusic #musicsky

Margo Mann’s “The Worth Of It” turns a hesitant confession of love into something hauntingly beautiful. #glamglarepick #newmusic

Song Pick of the Day: Actrese's "Jasmine." The London singer-songwriter-producer built this one around that early, hyper-aware stage of falling for someone — folk guitar, acoustic keys, touches of trumpet and violin. Read more on glamglare. #glamglarepick #newmusic #musicsky

Passion burns brightly on GIFT’s driving and hypnotic “Hand To The Flame.” #glamglarepick

Today's Song Pick of the Day: "Wrong About You" by Spaces of Disappearance — crisply produced, no-frills synth-pop with the feel of an earlier, analog era of electronic music. First single off her upcoming album, "Villain". #newmusic #musicsky

Luna Shadows’ “gutspill” is an irresistible ode to the feelings we try—and fail—to keep inside. #glamglarepick

Song Pick of the Day: "hunted" by @meldenisse.bsky.social. Heavy guitars and floating vocals wrapped around a psychological push-pull between fear and desire. #glamglarepick

Late Again turns emotional distance into an airy, beautifully suspended dream-pop spell with “To Stop the Time.” #newmusic

Our Song Pick of the Day is i.am.afiya's "reflective" — a silky, comforting arrangement wrapped around a question she's clearly been wanting to ask someone. Full post and streaming link on Glamglare. #glamglarepick

Airy and irresistible, Reuben Medlin’s “Thinking About Love” carries a hint of New Radicals into the here and now. #newmusic #musicsky

"NEW AGE ROCKSTAR" by D'Lourdes: loud, dark, a little dirty, and buzzing with the energy of a real rock venue.
