TOP SONGS
Tom Misch: "It Runs Through Me" Live on MBE Tom Misch was voted "Best New Artist" by KCRW's DJs in 2017. A musical chameleon who hopscotches across genres with ease, his first US radio session on MBE was epic. From that session we share "It Runs Through Me."
Kyan: “Lonely River” After his major record deal ended, and his relationship with his long-term girlfriend collapsed - on the same day (!) - UK artist Kyan began to rebuild his life in a new direction. Kyan's debut album was written in solitude in Airbnb's throughout LA. This let him tap into his true inspiration on "Lonely River."
Emily King: “Remind Me” Emily King has just unveiled the first track from a full length album which is slated to drop in 2019.
The Sha La Das: “Okay My Love” The Everly Brothers and The Beach Boys used their familial bonds to craft their signature close knit harmonies. Now the Sha La Das are here to carry on that tradition. Bill Schaldas taught his sons group harmonies on the stoop of their Staten Island home which resulted in the formation of The Sha La Das, and their Daptone Records debut Love in the Wind . From that delightful album, check out "Okay My Love" backed by members of the Dap-Kings and Menahan Street Band. Their music drips with doo-wop, blues, and soul.
Genital Panic: "Action Pants" (Radio Edit) At 50, Tina S. was depressed. She was pissed off at becoming invisible as an aging female musician, at menopause, and at the state of the union. So she turned to what she does best, writing songs that echo her feelings. She found camaraderie by creating the all female band Genital Panic. "Action Pants" is a ripping, raucous anthem.
Until The Ribbon Breaks: "My Love" Live on MBE Newly relocated to LA, duo Until the Ribbon Breaks made a stop on Morning Becomes Eclectic to perform songs from their new self-titled album. We share the effervescent and catchy track "My Love."
Azure Ray: “Palindrome” Azure Ray had a chance to revisit their early work, when a box of original reels from their first recordings appeared on their doorstep. That alone inspired them to create new songs. So for the last few months Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink traded music between Los Angeles and Omaha until they came up with new work they love including, "Palindrome."
The Tender Things: “Oh Rosie” Heartless Bastards and Austin-based bassist Jessse Ebaugh started writing his own songs in 2016. Heartless Bastards decided to take a break, so he formed The Tender Things. Drawing from his experience as a bluegrass and country musician in his native Kentucky, he's laid down a timeless track called "Oh Rosie."
