Head over to Curve Magazine to listen & learn more about the track.
]]>"Try Try Try" is the first single from Rachael Sage's forthcoming album, CHOREOGRAPHIC, inspired by her lifelong relationship to dance. A former School of American Ballet student, Sage taught herself to play both piano and guitar, and developed her ear by absorbing classical music accompaniment in ballet classes since she was 3. A playful, uptempo folk-pop number with a tinge of country twang and more than a little bit of rock attitude, the track features Sage's signature clever lyrics, catchy harmonies and impressive guitar skills. Accompanied by fantastic backing musicians whose credits include Coldplay, Adele, Esperanza Spalding and Brandi Carlile's, it's an uplifting, infectious song about love, perfect for spring!
BaebleMusic raves about Sage's new album: "With its baroque strings and off-kilter but memorable percussion, it deliberately evokes a modern dance number fueled by triumph and feminine resilience."

]]>Popdose.com has just debuted the stellar new video of AFT's first single, "Make Me Over (Noddy Holder)", directed by Max Werkmeister. Tongue-in-cheek as always, the band explores the constructs of rock 'n roll image-making with their signature fearlessness and creativity. Filmed in their childhood community theater, New Rose Theater in Walden, NY, the video chronicles the bands fictionalized - and apparently conflicted - journey from "generic rock band" to their current, glam-actualized selves. Check out the video here, and see why Popdose.com raves: "wonderful...These guys are something special.".

]]>K's Choice have premiered their slick and beautiful music video for "Perfect Scar" on PopMatters. The video was shot & directed by Gert Bettens (guitarist) and features his adorable daughter, Aiko. Here's what he had to say about the video: "I wanted to make [the video] myself, so I bought a decent camera and went for it. Photography is something I’m really into, so decided to go from there, without a real storyboard to begin with. I started shooting a lot of moving pictures I considered to be aesthetically pleasing, and was fortunate to have my daughter Aiko available at all times to get the footage I wanted. I hope somehow the video radiates joy and the message we wanted to put in the song."

]]>Here's what Consequence of Sound says about the track: "The track itself reimagines Mimi and Richard’s stripped back original version as a raucous, experimental romp. The chugging acoustic guitars and plunking pianos are replaced with ethereal electric guitars and distorted organs. Baez and the brothers harmonize elegantly amidst the madness, with Baez giving a poignant vocal solo in the middle. It’s a gorgeous and eccentric tribute from two different families and generation."
