School Friends - Bradley Hale (Now, Now) Original Demo

The other day I was thinking about how I have a bunch of music saved on my laptop that I downloaded from MySpace and other places when I was a teenager, that no longer exists anywhere online (or at least, no longer easily accessible), and decided I should probably start uploading some of it to youtube just as a way of archiving it. Plus, I've always loved this version of the song. I recorded a cover of it as a teenager that I was extremely proud of at the time, but listening back now, the sound quality is god awful. That one will probably not be posted on youtube...

[Youtube Description]

This is the original version of School Friends, posted on Bradley Hale's MySpace years before it became a Now Now song (appearing on Threads).

The image was also designed by Bradley Hale, posted on Now, Now's tumblr around 2010/11. They were badges sold at their live shows.

Bradley Hale would later release a solo album as Sombear.

Luna Shadows’ wispy and graceful, breathy and limber voice dances off our ears beautifully as the Los Angeles artist serenades us with her new single, Youth, the title track from a forthcoming sophomore EP. Luna established herself as one of the most fascinating and mysteriously enchanting pop figures from California this past year with her Summertime EP and her dazzling music. It’s obvious she’ll continue her reign as she teams back up with co-producer SOMBEAR (Brad Hale of Now, Now) on this twilight glistering, poignantly compelling electro pop single. Youth is reminiscent of Elohim’s effervescent electronic pop and Mr Little Jeans’ twinkling synthpop. Luna Shadows will be hitting the road this fall on her debut headlining shows, which will kick off in her adopted hometown of Los Angeles at PopShop West on November 29th before wrapping up on December 9th in New York at the Mercury Lounge. Tickets can be purchased, here. Youth is available from iTunes, here.

New Zealand’s So Below never fails to bewitch me with her dark and gothy music. Ruin is Madeline North’s latest entrancing single, a shimmering, pulsating mass of visceral yet nimble driving electronic pop. She co-wrote the track with Bradley Hale of Now, Now and Sombear as well as singer songwriter Chelsea Jade. So Below explains of Ruin: “This song was written the day after I finished watching Stranger Things so it definitely has some teen angst and spooky vibes in there... basically it’s about trying to rely on someone who always ends up letting you down. It’s one of my favourite tracks to date.” You can purchase the single from iTunes, here.
