Molly Parden shows up at the top of The Deli’s Nashville charts quite a bit, so we thought we should share that she’ll play at The Basement on May 20th. Parden has bounced around the Northeast and Midwest over the past month; her Spring tour around the States will take her to the Northwest and Southeast before she returns home to Nashville. At her Basement show, fellow artists and friends Madi Diaz and Zoe Sky Jordan will join Parden on the bill. Catch this show and you may also hear some new tracks. Take a listen to Parden’s latest release, 2018’s "Bolting Volts", below. – Will Sisskind

A punk-psych hybrid, "Cold Hands," the debut single from the trio of Broke Body, is out now via Good How Are You Records. Propelled by its backend and vocals that cut through by proximity, the recording creates an air of mystery. The dichotomy of free-floating yet aggressive vibes provides an intriguing perspective.

Indie supergroup Pale Ramon releases self-titled debut LP on 05.24
Fans of Emanuel and the Fear will want to pay attention to frontman Emanuel Avyas’s new project Pale Ramon, which Avyas has started with former Monuments and Oceanographer member Kevin Plessner. Their self-titled debut album will drop on May 24th; its latest single, "The Best Has Yet To Come," which we’re premiering today, was inspired by a documentary of a Trump rally in Vegas, and told from the perspective of the young filmmaker trying to make sense of the seemingly decisive and hateful rhetoric being thrown around him. Pale Ramon will celebrate the album release on May 29th at Union Pool. – Will Sisskind

New So Totally Album Available for Streaming & Purchase
A somber, slow-burning haze cultivates a particular kind of comfort when listening to In The Shape Of…, the new record from the quartet of So Totally. Those hypnotic qualities, created by the soft, somewhat whispered vocals and the steady progression of music, can quickly be thrown off kilter by jarring instrumental shifts and turns. A cathartic, gentle, swaying calm is combated by the escalating inferno of fuzz that potentially awaits around any given corner. Get comfortable, but maybe not too comfortable.
