Following up on previous B3 releases “She Talks Too Much / Xanax”, “The Bridge and the Wall / Pigments” and her self-titled debut EP, “Hallucinating” is a further exercise in genre dexterity and nimbleness for Elohim. El’s on tour now with Irish artist EDEN (remaining dates below) and will be headed out with lords of Chi-city Louis The Child in November (see below). As an added lagniappe Elohim’s prepared a cool Mariachi band remix of “Hallucinating” which is available for your streaming pleasure below along with the original track. “Hallucinating” is available now.

“Read My Lips”, new from NY-based King Deco, is 3 minutes 46 seconds of all accelerator, pedal to the floor perfect pop. Sat in a frame of hook after hook after hook after hook (etc), “Read My Lips” is a big track and a big step forward for King Deco.
Out now on Hand in Hive is “Tides” the reverb-spun new stream from Swimming Tapes. Following on from June’s “Set the Fire” , “Tides” sounds an oceanside backdrop of warm guitar leads and breezy falsetto-enhanced vocals. “Tides” is another strong track from the London UK quintet.
We don’t know much about Mondo Cozmo but there seems to be much to like about this LA via Philly native. With a lot of pretty consistent redundancy in the sound of today’s popular music (on both sides of the pond), Mondo Cozmo clearly doesn’t care to take note about the status quo. Distinct influence by way of decades deep Mancunian/Brit rock is paired with a tactful baritone vocal, reminiscent of icons like Bill Withers and Bob Dylan. Mondo Cozmo is sure to ring home for anyone who appreciates an honest soul in their music. For us, “Shine” is authentically classic and assertively relevant. Be on the look out for more Mondo Cozmo and “Shine” on a debut EP expected in 2017.
Scavenger Hunt is the L.A. based duo of singer/songwriter Jill Lamoureux and producer/multi-instrumentalist Dan Mufson. New single “Sweet Talk”, the follow-up to “River Runs Dry”, is oh so infectious (like have in had in my head non-stop for four days infectious, ahhhh). Built on neo-80’s production ideas and boosted up by some Robyn-esque melodics, “Sweet Talk” is a great intersection between superlative track writing, great styling and a superb main vocal. LOVE IT.
B3 is very pleased to premiere “All Of Your Love” the new single from favorite UK songwriter George Cosby. Cosby, a nominee for 2016’s Blog Sound poll and a selection of Radio 1’s Best of Introducing, has through breakout tracks “Vacant Grace” “Ritual Blush” & “State of Undress” tallied over 1M streams on Spotify. The talented Londoner excels on new one “All of Your Love” which succeeds through a pair of Cosby’s big strengths A+ writing and potent/impassioned vocals. “All of Your Love” (which is available now to stream below) is a component part of George Cosby’s forthcoming “A Savage Kiss” EP, out October 14th on Yucatan Records.
