Okay is the forthcoming EP from Grant Pavol, and will be released on cassette on May 17 via Shamir’s fledgling indie label Accidental Popstar Records. Today, we have received a sampling of the release, with its lead single, “Vintage Clothes”. An acoustic guitar helps to set the folk scene. There is a sense of being a fly on the wall as a connection is almost made. Learning as the moments go by, the track captures an evolving, perceptive perspective. An unguarded honesty makes the song pensively powerful.

A Deli Premiere: Stacey Randol releases music video for “Songs in the Soil”
You may have noticed — if you’re an avid reader of the Deli — that we wrote about songwriter Stacey Randol‘s new LP Songs in the Soil earlier this month. We now have a special premiere to announce from that album: Randol has released the music video for the title track. You might find yourself confused watching the video, as the song’s psych groove and the film grain — along with Randol’s flowing white and earth-toned floral dresses — may make you think that you’re watching something from the Sixties. But this was indeed made in the late 2010s, and it continues a trend of indie artists releasing music videos made on film. Randol’s song calls for this aesthetic, and as you’ll see in the music video, they make a perfect match. Take a look at the video for "Songs in the Soil" below. – Will Sisskind

New Music Video: “Game Show” – Mumblr
In advance of their forthcoming album Genie, due out on April 1, Mumblr recently shared a video for their new single “Game Show”. Transported to the sets of some classic TV shows, the song delicately opens up lyrically, with its protagonist’s apprehension over answering. Exploring the idea of missed opportunities and the domino effect/vicious cycle of depression, the song works to keep its cool before some much-appreciated rock ensues. Unfortunately, it sounds like this next album might be the end of the road for the Philly quartet, who shared this message along with the video.
It has been a fun ride sharing good and better and best times with beautiful people across this North American continent.

Oyster Kids’ “Losing My Mind” is an upbeat ode to self-doubt
Oyster Kids sing to those who need some solace on their ode to self-doubt, "Losing My Mind." The indie pop’s latest single is an upbeat anthem with lyrical undertones that match every mood you could possibly be in. The four-piece acknowledge that it’s okay to "lose your mind," and how it isn’t always simple to snap out of it. The atmospheric aloofness this hauntingly creative band produces has a special place in the deep roots of the L.A. music scene. Kayla Hay

Debut Pepto Abysmal EP Available for Streaming & Download
Feel, the new release from Pepto Abysmal, is for those who are missing the brilliantly macabre songwriting stylings of Pill Friends‘s Ryan Wilson (like we are – RIP). Tapping into one’s inner workings, an endearing, raw vulnerability is revealed in these brutally honest bedroom recordings. The ability to create relatable, poignant lyrics from such a unique viewpoint is a rare gift.
