Ok Goodnight have self-released their new single "Spiral". Available on all streaming platforms, the new single uncovers feelings of regret, nostalgia, and unconditional love. “Spiral” is the second single from the forthcoming album stop/go, which is slated for release on June 12th.
With an impressive catalog that has amassed millions of streams on digital platforms and a riveting stage presence, Ok Goodnight have turned heads as an act to watch closely. Their new single "Spiral” continues the alluring and brooding auditory journey the band have claimed as their own. Featuring polished piano motifs beneath Casey Lee Williams' ethereal, almost Imogen Heap-esque vocals, the decadent, yet nostalgic track marks an important musical shift for the band.
Alongside the digital release of the track is an animated music video by multi-media artist Stephen Mlinarcik, which is also available today. Mirroring the overall “spiral” concept that the track gives off, the video morphs into various shapes and colors, highlighting the overall anxiety and fragility the track emanates. Combining stop motion, claymation, collaging, digital animation, and physical surrealism, Stephen Mlinarcik perfectly brings the avant-garde, cinematic visual world of “Spiral” to life.

Jont - Ride On.
Arriving as a deeply personal and expansive body of work, Walk Right Through finds Jont at a creative and spiritual peak. Rooted in singer-songwriter, indie, and folk traditions, the album unfolds as a living document of presence, transformation, and emotional truth. It’s an offering shaped by years of perseverance, reflection, and hard-won clarity.
“I’m deep in the jubilation dancing that goes on when it’s gone right and your prayer of gratitude, your anthems to celebrate the essence of your being, are now somehow larger and more energetically witnessed by The Universe,” Jont shares. “In that space, all one can think and feel is ‘you know what? I actually did it. I did create one of those ones. One that will really count.’”
The project emerged during an intense and almost inexplicable creative surge. At the beginning of 2024, 10 songs arrived in 10 weeks, each carrying what Jont describes as the same urgent message: “Get me out. I want to be sung and heard now.” Rather than forcing the process, he followed it, allowing the material to reveal itself in real time.
Anchoring the album is its lead single, “Ride On,” a song that arrived under particularly meaningful circumstances. Written on the day of Jont’s dear friend Barbara’s passing, it carries both grief and release; an emotional threshold that sets the tone for the recording process that followed.

Canadian songwriter Spencer Krug announces Same Fangs, his new solo album released last Friday on Pronounced Kroog. The record arrives at a moment of renewed attention. Following the recent resurgence of “I'll Believe in Anything” through Netflix’s Heated Rivalry, a new wave of listeners has been pulling his catalog back into focus. Across Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Moonface, and his solo work, Krug’s projects have quietly accumulated hundreds of millions of streams over the past two decades.
But Same Fangs doesn’t look backward. It tightens the frame. Written and recorded on Vancouver Island, the album carries the imprint of where Krug lives now. Cedar and damp air. Long stretches of quiet. Fog settling over low mountains and small-town streets. Days shaped around family life, with songs worked out at the piano in between. There’s space in these recordings, but also pressure. Something held close rather than pushed outward.
Built around piano and voice as its red thread, Same Fangs is minimalist, arty, and occasionally pop-leaning, but never ornamental. The performances are direct. The focus is on touch, phrasing, and movement. There’s a lineage here with classic piano pop, echoes of Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson, and Leonard Cohen, not in imitation, but in feel. The weight of the voice against the keys. The way a melody leans into a line and lets it sit.
The songs were drawn from demos shared throughout 2024 and 2025 via Krug’s Patreon, then re-recorded in a concentrated week at The Noise Floor on Gabriola Island with Jordan Koop. Piano and vocals anchor every track, but each one opens slightly outward. Percussion, strings, electric guitar, and guest vocals from Elbow Kiss move in and out of the frame, adding texture without breaking the spell. Contributors were encouraged to write their own parts. Nothing feels overworked.

We are always on the look out for something a little different on Beehive Candy. Having settled many years ago that the best alternative version of Tom Jones sixties classic 'Delilah' was by Scotland's The Sensational Alex Harvey Band we now have another contender (and in our opinion comfortably third in place). So the background - Carolina Bluegrass Style and Slim Husky Records are proud to announce the release of the band’s newest single, “Delilah,” an electrifying bluegrass interpretation of the timeless 1960s classic originally made famous by Tom Jones.
Known for their fearless approach to American roots music, Carolina Bluegrass Style transforms the legendary hit into a hard-driving bluegrass powerhouse packed with blazing instrumentation, soulful vocals, thunderous rhythm, and the unmistakable mountain energy that has become the band’s trademark sound.
The new release captures everything fans have come to expect from Carolina Bluegrass Style: tradition fused with innovation, classic storytelling wrapped in modern intensity, and a performance style that refuses to stay inside the lines. “Delilah” delivers a fresh emotional punch while honoring the spirit and drama of the beloved original.
Fresh off being named 2025 Josie Music Awards Bluegrass Group of the Year at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, Carolina Bluegrass Style continues carving out a unique lane in modern bluegrass music with their blend of bluegrass, country, rock, swing, and roots influences. “This was one of those songs that instantly felt like it belonged in our world,” said the band. “The passion, heartbreak, and raw energy in ‘Delilah’ gave us the chance to really cut loose and make the song our own.”
