It isn’t too often that a young singer-songwriter from L.A. writes and creates a literary masterpiece. On “Bite,” Lou Roy passionately tells a deeply moving and emotional story through her lyrics—the newest release from her upcoming EP Your Friend, out in November. Roy’s sultry voice creates an indie jazz vocal experience that will set the tone for your night in alone. It draws influences from the musical stylings of Joni Mitchell and Fiona Apple, but Roy finds a sound that is all her own.
Passionate sentiments like ‘bite so hard’ have settled so deep in my bones that I am not sure if I can wait until November 15 for her EP to drop. Thankfully, though, she has a release show in at The Bootleg Theater on the 11th—and it is not to be missed. – Kayla Hay

At the core of Brooklyn-based experimental pop outfit Green and Glass is a mellifluous, dulcet harp—a texture that informs the group’s output with an ethereal and sometimes mysterious quality. Played by bandleader and singer Lucia Stavros (and flanked by a myriad of collaborators from bands like Cuddle Magic and Secret Sibling), her soft, almost whispering vocals, alongside Green and Glass’s various synths, horns, and drums craft a baroque-like march on the band’s debut single “14 Hours.” The synthesis of the group’s various parts manifests an orchestral quality, one that places the group squarely between chamber and synth pop; Green and Glass are tactile in the sounds they choose to incorporate, but do so in an off-kilter manner that embeds the entire track with a hazy, dream-like quality. Stream it below, and catch them at The Footlight on November 6th. -Connor Beckett McInerney

Lynn, Massachusetts’ Nick Zaino, is a perfect piece in the colorful puzzle of New England’s music scene. The serenity found in folk music is captured in his latest single, "Pour Me A River," which is a story of devotion told with nothing more than a mighty acoustic guitar composition and Zaino’s country-cordial vocals. The new track is engulfed in a feverish excitement that radiates with each chord change and drops embers in the minds of listeners: a song memorable enough to have one singing along. The bareness of the song is part of the charm and fits perfectly with the honest ode to a loved one. The new track is a preview of Zaino’s upcoming album, Habitual Salvation, due out November 29th. We are streaming the new song for you below and looking forward to Habitual Salvation out soon. – Rene Cobar
