MAC DEMARCO - CHAMBER OF REFLECTION (MICKEY KOJAK COVER)

The viceroy smoking, gap toothed, skater-boy, Mac Demarco is one of the most prominent figures in contemporary indie-rock music by any standard. His cult-like following, and general energy is fearless, and flamboyant with grit, so covering the legend is no easy feat. But, Sydney’s multi-instrumentalist producer and singer, Mickey Kojak is challenging the notion that legends’ music should be left unmarked. His dusty-chrome production, and breathy vocals are sent through an AM-radio-esque filter, as he executes a cover of Mac’s “Chamber Of Reflection.” Mickey plays each instrument, produces each note, and uses his own innate gift of vocal excellence to redefine the original track. While remaining true the OG piece, Mickey inks his signature unto the melody- slowing its cadence, and ripening its meaning with a soft, introspective 80s-style synth. This cover is distinctively sensual, yet remains easy-going and playful. This Aussie cutie took a little piece of my heart with this cover- keep him on your radar, because this track proves his musicianship is teetering at the tipping point. Catch you on the other side.

DOOQU - CIRCLES FT. IAN GOTT

Heroic Recordings is establishing itself as one the most sound and reliable outlets for indie-electronic music. One of Heroic Recordings most notable artists, the one with the stunning jaw line, Dooqu, just released a dreamy, progressive-synth single. "Cirlces" featuring singer-songwriter Ian Gott is a brief, yet fulfilling track rich in emotional depth. Gott's jarring lyrics are in fine tune with the airy leads carefully executed by Dooqu. The track is riddled with charm and attention to detail, both instrumentally and lyrically. Gott sings, in a whimsical tone, "the yarn from your shirt unravels my nerves-" lyrically exposing the power of detail in a not-so-romantic age. Its elements are fractalized, but the sum of its parts create a idyllic, consciously driven piece. Dooqu's latest release is a diamond in a world of musical dust. Explore and stream this arduous collaboration, via Spotify now. 

EMBRZ - HIGHER

Jack Casey, better known as EMBRZ, just dropped a down-tempo masterpiece, "Higher." This Ireland-based, self taught producer has already received stellar reviews on his latest track. I find it more than safe to say, the buzz is much deserved, as this romantic piece is both calming and energizing. "Higher" is engulfed by the sounds of gold with radiating, subtly chopped lyrics, and glowing expressionism. The track's warmth is transcended by a staggering build up at 2:00, leading into a final drop of sentiment and sunshine. This single was obviously crafted by a young musician with a passionate, charming spirit. "Higher" possesses a quixotic temper, that is soft and whimsical. Get with this amorous debut by adding it to your summer time Spotify playlist. Thank you EMBRZ.

COMMANDEUR - WITH ME

For me, music can be just as visually stimulating at times as even the most vibrant pieces of art. Certain pieces of music make my imagination go crazy, I envision far off places; dream-like environments with sprawling landscapes never before seen by human eyes. While yes this a very personal reaction that only exists in my head, I can only imagine the musings of others when they encounter music such as this "With Me" by Commandeur. I've never heard of this Australian native before, but I'm soo happy I have now. The name of our blog is Beautiful Buzzz and this track is both Beautiful and very Buzzzworthy. Rich in atmospheric elegance, delicate and personal, yet with a feeling of vast expansiveness. The airy echoes of the female voice intertwine with the lead vocals engulfing you in a warm and mysterious soundscape of colors and tones. This record takes you on a mellifluous journey into a synthetic fantasy. Allow yourself to become the innocent child you once were. Indulge your imagination and hit play.
