💫 New Music | Aug 23 💫
New Releases week 8/19 - 8/23
Hi friends,
Here are some of my highlights from last week's new releases—Happy Listening!
Nautics - I don’t really like boys
🗓️ Aug 23, 2024
🎶 Indie/Alt, Garage Rock
Similar Vibes: early 2000s Indie
If you feel nostalgic for the early 2000s Indie scene, I mean The Strokes, Interpol, Mando Diao, then Nautics is for you. The band from New York has been around since 2015, and it’s fun to explore their discography and how their style has evolved over the years. Feel like listening to a song on repeat? Check out “Million Degrees.”

Abigail Rose - Wild Heart (Stevie Nicks Cover)
🗓️ Aug 22, 2024
🎶 Indie Pop
Similar Vibes: Stevie Nicks / Fleetwood Mac
Chances are, you’ve never heard this Stevie Nicks song—at least not like this. In a now infamous clip on YouTube, we see Nicks in 1981 in the New York studio of photographer Annie Leibovitz, prepping for a Rolling Stone Magazine cover shoot. She spontaneously begins to sing a stripped-down, unrehearsed version of Wild Heart, which would later be refined into the polished track on her 1983 album The Wild Heart. Nicks never released the raw version she sang that day in New York. But Abigail Rose did. As the project manager working with Abigail, I had the privilege of supporting her in bringing to life the magic of this song, and I’m so happy it’s finally out for everyone to hear.

Very cool hearing this version of Wild Heart! I've always liked the song but never knew Stevie did such a different arrangement. Thanks!
