This time around, they released a single called "Flytrap" and it's a bit heavier compared to their previous release. But in this case, that's a great thing. The lighter eleme...

Decent Lovers has a new short but oh-so-sweet single by the name of "When I Wake Up."

How To Be Topp's single "Offshore Accounts" was undoubtedly love at first listen.The undeniable droney nature of this song takes precedent over any other element. It's not overdone, and it's certainly not typical. This track has an obscure quality t...
