Oakland’s Waterstrider impress again on third stream and title track from upcoming debut, “Nowhere Now”. The band’s use of unconventional and exotic polyrhythms and non-traditional indie rock instrumentation color Waterstrider’s refreshing and infinitely melodic sound of which “Nowhere Now” is an A+ example. Nowhere Now is out April 13th.

The enigmatic duo Mao Ra Sun link up with the UK’s leading lady Lulu James on “I Won’t Take You Back” a fusion of dreamy synths, pulsating basslines and sultry vocals. The pair remark “The instrumental of “I Won’t Take You Back” was our ode to Control era Janet Jackson slow jams, as soon as Lulu laid her vocals down it took it to a whole new level though.” We think you’ll enjoy the unique sounds of Mao Ra Sun, go ahead and give it a spin. Reviewed by LL.

“Turn Your Light On Me” is excerpted from an as of yet untitled EP forthcoming in September from The Night VI. Nearly from moment one on the track, vocalist Sophie-Rose Harper’s warm alto pulls you immediately to the track. While not having so much in common sonically, there’s something about the urgency and styling of the track’s syncopation that reminds in the best way of Fleetwood Mac. Well done.

Peter Lyons, formerly of duo Peter & Kerry, latest solo track is the cinematic pop of “Leave Me”. Dynamic swells of strings and synth atmopspheres, a low touch rhythm track, and a vocal as a component of the instrumental ensemble aesthetic highlight “Leave Me”‘s A+ production and composition. “Leave Me” is the lead track from Peter Lyons’ forthcoming EP.

Ben Khan marks a strong return with the two-step bounce of new EP title track “1000”. Reminding a bit of Kelis & Andre 3000’s “Millionaire” in aesthetic, “1000” is long on a similar quality progressiveness and tunefulness that made Khan’s debut “1992” EP so excellent. “1000” is out May 11.

Brighton band TIGERCUB make their debut on B3 with 90’s-referencing sonics of “Hold On”. A neat mix of grunge-y and mid 90’s melody and instrumentation fused with a more modern overall quality, “Hold On” is a strong example of the nascent revival in good hook-y guitar rock.

“Home” is new from Des Moines, IA artist Max Jury. The 21-year old’s wistful piano-driven “Home” reminds a bit thematically of Elton John or even Paul McCartney at their more vulnerable moments. “Home” really impresses on its beautifully simple melodic phrasings and warm instrumentation. We love it. Mr. Jury has a new EP in the works and will be in Austin next week for several performances at SXSW.
