“Dog Inside a Car” by Fell Runner 

https://fellrunner.bandcamp.com/track/dog-inside-a-car

Fell Runner is a Los Angeles-based rock band formed in 2012 by four music students at the California Institute of the Arts. The band originally started as an independent study in applying West African rhythms to western song forms. 

Fell Runner's music is asymmetrically rhythmic while simultaneously melodic and danceable with layers of vocal harmonies and interlocking guitar parts. A band consisting of diverse musicians (current/previous members of HAIM, Harriet, The Americans), Fell Runner brings a wide range of influences to its music placing emphasis on energetic live shows.

In the past three years, the band has been actively performing in Los Angeles and on the West Coast at venues ranging from intimate house shows to notable venues such as The Troubadour, The Echo, The Bootleg Theater, Colombia City Theater, and The New Parrish.  Fell Runner released their self-titled debut CD on Los Angeles-based label, Orenda Records, on August 18th.

“Polygraph” by Cotton Ships

https://cottonships.bandcamp.com/track/polygraph

“Cotton Ships’ music is a heterogeneous blend of math rock, post rock, indie, folk and jazz. The project is a mosaic of personality, a smattering together of different, often divergent interests and perspectives. It’s fitting then that the band, who’s members include an astro-biologist, architect, tech CEO and stenographer, conjure a sound that’s difficult to lump into any one category.” Listen to their latest single “Polygraph” here.

“Static” by Eyeshadow 

Eyeshadow is an electro-pop and house duo from Los Angeles - their succinct,  minimalistic and eclectic EP Auto exudes elegance and grace while it commands with power and confidence.
