Watch Model Man's brand new music video here—'Ketones'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

After their debut release titled, ‘Alone', brothers Mark and Rob Brandon—aka Model Man—make their return with yet another gem, cultivating a style that explores the depths of organic house music and lush and colorful soundscapes. Accompanying the new release is a gorgeous music video that features a rich cinematic look and feel with a choreographed dance routine designed by Aaron Sillis—who is also known for his work with FKA Twigs, Jungle, and Years and Years. 

The entire video was shot on a 16mm film camera and elevates not only the perspective and tone of the song, but the deeper meaning of its inspiration. Model Man proves yet again that artistry is alive and well and we can’t wait to hear more from the duo in the coming months.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

Rob Brandon says: ''The idea of dancing to be alone is something we’ve been exploring for a while but it’s an odd, almost comical notion to visualize. We wrote lots of completely different ideas. I struggled to find one leading interpretation of the song. When Aaron Sillis and Dominant Namek got involved; we were able to allow this group of amazing dancers to individually interpret the song how they liked. And then I got to kill them. It was a lot of fun.’’

Introducing the incredible Julia Knight, listen to their new single 'Cool For You' here

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Our latest obsession comes from singer/songwriter, Julia Knight. With their new single ‘Cool For You’, we get a small taste of Julia’s incredible talent and lyrical skill. Fresh off their debut via Taste and Tone under Atlantic Records, Julia is already one of our favorite artists of 2018.

Why? Well, when it comes to originality, Julia Knight is a breath of fresh air. Her performance and writing skills come from a genuine place and that’s extremely rare to find in an ocean of mediocrity. This should not be taken lightly. Just you wait and see.

In closing, we can’t wait to hear more from the artist in the coming months, but until then, we’ll be keeping ‘Cool For You’ on constant repeat. Don’t forget to subscribe to Julia Knight online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“‘cool for you’ is about a super brief relationship that looking back on, I had no business being in really. I met someone in the summer and thought everything was working out, only for it to end abruptly a short couple months later. It’s about trying to be so cool and casual as a way to protect yourself. I hated that.” — Julia Knight

Dark and melodic, mysterious hip-hop duo Darci, makes their return with new single 'Won't'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

It’s been incredible watching Darci grow over the last year. Since day 1, we’ve covered every release and for good reason. We LOVE the original sound that Darci delivers—blending elements of dark under-tones, massive sounding drums, melodic elements, and a truly diverse and exciting vocal style. Darci’s distinct sound is amongst some of the few we can’t seem to get over. The duo is rapidly growing in popularity and will soon become a staple within the hip-hop and electronic music scene.

But don’t take our word for it, the duo has amassed an incredible 20 million streams across all music platforms, platforms like Soundcloud, YouTube, and Spotify… all while keeping their identity, a secret.

To top it all off, Darci was signed to UTA which led to some of their first live appearances and a variety of festival appearances such as HARD Summer, Mamby On The Beach and 515 Alive. This New Years Eve, the duo will be performing at the legendary Lake Tahoe festival, SnowGlobe. You can grab tickets here.

We have so much to look forward to still and we can’t wait to see what the duo has in stored. If you love the new song, be sure to connect with the artist’s online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT FINBONGO HAS TO SAY:

Listen to Restless Modern's brand new single, 'Things for the Future'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Restless Modern, aka Jack Kieffer, released a brand new single that we’re really excited about. Titled, ‘Things for the Future’, RM takes on a unique soundscape with some of his best vocal work yet. ‘Things for the Future’ is a more lighthearted song about dreaming for what’s yet to come.

Like most of his work, the new song was produced, written, performed, mixed, and mastered by Restless Modern himself.

So where did all of this start? Well, while Restless Modern made his debut with production work on ‘Navigator’—a pop single that has been streamed over 10 million times—the young artist didn’t put out his first self-produced, self-written, and self-performed work until late that year. ‘I’m Okay’ was the first single off of his ‘To Come Undone EP’, a dark and introspective body of work that has accumulated over 1.8M streams since its independent release in early 2018.

Fast forward to today, things are really picking up for the artist and there’s so much to look forward to still. So, if you’re looking for something fresh and exciting, you’ve come to the right place.

Don’t forget to subscribe to Restless Modern online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT RESTLESS MODERN HAS TO SAY:

“Every single day is about improvement and differentiation. I listen to and study the art that I love, but my job is to create something that no other artist can create. Something that is unique to my perspective and my abilities - so that’s what I’m shooting for.” - RM

LYRICS:

“[verse 1]
Make it home ‘fore it
Starts to rain
On my bed
You said
These things
I meant

Wiggle out 
Of our
Summer dreams
We could paint a wall
For you and me

[Chorus]
Baby, we breathe
Something extra in our air
Giving color to our hair and both our eyes
Our eyes

And i say
Baby, to me
There is nothing to despair
Although times are getting harder
I am sure we’re getting there
Slowly

[verse 2]
On a day where we got
Nowhere to go
We can stay inside
Play games
Get high

Hear the rain on our
Windowed door
Hope you’ll stay a while
We’ll add one more

[Chorus]
Baby, we breathe
Something extra in our air
Giving color to our hair and both our eyes
Our eyes

And i say
Baby, to me
There is nothing to despair
Although times are getting harder
I am sure we’re getting there
Slowly”

Precious is what we have to offer. 
❤️”
