BLAME IT ALL ON LOVE
Genre: Indie
"...On Poolside’s fourth studio album Blame It All On Love, Paradise leaves the shallows and enters the depths of his own creative voice. Its 11 tracks are funky, soulful, laidback and full of hooks that elevate Poolside’s sound to poignant pop heights. Rather than flex his electronic muscles, the production marks a return to his live music roots and finds ease in simple and radiant layers of sound, even as it comes face-to-face with the complex reality of one’s dreams come true. It’s a true product of everywhere he’s been and the long and winding journey he’s taken to arrive at this moment where there’s nothing left to fight or prove, just perfect grooves as heard on previously released singles “Each Night” featuring Mazy and “Back To Life” with Panama. ..."

Genre: Indie
"... News ANNA BATES RELEASES DEBUT EP HERE’S TO THE END ON NEON GOLD RECORDS HERE VIDEO FOR SINGLE “HOLY SMOKES” HERE LIVE IN LA ON 6.6 @ IT’S A SCHOOL NIGHT HERE Hi-res photo - photo credit - Josefine Cardoni HERE “SOMETHING GREATER” VIDEO (SELF-DIRECTED) HERE “LAST MAN ON EARTH” VIDEO (DIR. JAX ANDERSON) HERE Today, Anna Bates, the Los Angeles-born and raised singer-storyteller, releases her debut EP Here’s To The End HERE on Neon Gold Records. Classically trained in piano from a young age, it wasn’t until as recently as 2020 that Anna Bates began to release music under her own name. After her track “Holy Smokes” went viral on TikTok, Anna packed up her Belmont dorm and moved back west to pursue a career in music. To celebrate her debut, she’s revealing the music video for “Holy Smokes” HERE. Anna performs live on Monday June 6th @ It’s A School Night HERE. Writing and creating my first EP Here’s to the End was simply cool. Just kidding, it was a lot more than that. In fact, there are so many emotions attached to this little piece of art that it’s hard to mash them all down and condense them into one word- so I’m not going to. The songs on this EP are a mixture of stories I have created in my head, exaggerated tales of my friends, personal expression, and the unpacking of my religious upbringing. It is a soundtrack to a road trip, or a campfire, or an awesomely epic mental breakdown...."
