Bay Ledges - "Straight Jacket" [Audio Video]

Bay Ledges, the glitchy indie-pop group led by siblings Zach & Georgina Hurd, will release the new EP, FOUNTAIN TROPICAL, on Friday, 8/18, on S-Curve Records.

Bay Ledges self-released the song, "Safe," late last fall and it unexpectedly and rapidly hit three million streams on Spotify. It was at the urging of family and friends that principal band member Zach Hurd even released the song, so its success was most unexpected to him. Making no effort to promote it, within weeks, the track landed on Spotify's "Fresh Finds" playlist, then shot up the Global Viral chart. "At the time I was in Williamsburg, Virginia, helping to clear out my grandparents' old house," recalls Hurd, "Every day I'd wake up to something new. It was so surreal -like, 'This unbelievable thing is happening, and I'm alone in Colonial Williamsburg.'" The band currently reside in Los Angeles, however they are originally from Bath, ME, and the band take their name from a plot of land that the Hurds’ grandparents owned in Maine. In addition to the success at Spotify, the song was selected a "Today's Top Tune" at KCRW. The video for "Safe" recently premiered via Ones To Watch.

Mahalia - "Sober"

Premiered by The FADER and produced by Maths Times Joy, British songstress Mahalia has unveiled her stunning first official single in the form of “Sober”.

The track is a rich slice of R&B that recalls the likes of Erykah Badu, Sade and Lauryn Hill, yet is sprinkled with originality and pushed into the present day. “I’m sorry that there ain’t no time left, you and I are over, me and you are done,” she sings, her warm tones melding into the illustrious, groove-laden beat, her words hitting straight to the heart. The track is quintessentially Mahalia – encompassing the classic sounds of the past while refusing to be hemmed in by one particular genre; her open-hearted lyricism holding it all together like magic dust.

At 12 years old – the age most of us are aimlessly riding bikes or trying to avoid homework – Mahalia was picking up a guitar and penning love songs. With her entrancing, soulful tones, wise yet relatable wordplay and intuitive sense of melody, it quickly became clear that she had a natural sense of musicality, and that she’d be doing this for the rest of her life.

Now 19 and based in Leicester, Mahalia is ready to fully unleash what she’s been brewing into the world. In the time since she first picked up that guitar, she’s dropped a scattering of releases – from 2012’s indie-flecked acoustic dream “Head Space” to 2015’s gorgeously understated 4-track EP “Never Change” – which was premiered on i-D – and last year’s genre-flipping mixtape “Diary of Me”, picking up praise from the likes of The Independent and MTV. In 2015, her unique voice caught the attention of Rudimental, who asked her to feature on their easy-going summer anthem “We the Generation”, pushing her name to a wider audience in the process. But for Mahalia, it feels as if she’s just getting started.
