After a series of effervescent singles, Connecticut’s Autopoet released their debut album The Nightlife Has Changed You, on Valentine’s Day. Exploring love and the turbulence of relationships, the album clocks in at an impressive 45 minutes, a rarer and rarer sight. The duo of John Rule III and Rex Thurston work from a unique sonic pallet, tying together disparate sounds to make distinctive indie pop music.

On February 12th, West Hartford’s Cassie’s Crutch released their much anticipated, self-titled debut album. When I say much anticipated, I mean by me (I don’t care what my dad or Neil DeGrasse Tyson says, the universe revolves around me). Their first two singles, “Entropy” and “Sunshine and Grey,” struck a poppy, indie rock chord with featuring smooth guitar play that you all know I’m a complete sucker for. On Cassie’s Crutch though, what I found was unexpected.

On Friday, Connecticut’s punk tandem Killer Kin blessed us with new music, “Sonic Love” and “Narrow Mind.” Listen and enjoy them in all their distorted glory.

A dark and ominous indie pop song, “Lost Dog!” is the latest entry in a strong catalogue of music from Connecticut’s T!lt. The four piece is fresh their first full length LP Blackl!t in October and is back at it again.

With heavy beats and a smooth flow, KR tha Specialist out of New Haven, CT doesn’t mince word or waste time. His latest EP Last Shall Be First (LSBF) is a tour deforce and gives fans some classic boom bap.

I’ve discovered “Couch” by PONY; chicken soul for the intrepid entrepreneurial soul. It’s a song for people who believe in bringing dreams to reality. It’s music for people who persist in the face of long odds to create. Most importantly though, it’s music worth listening to.

Clever Girls, the 4 piece indie outfit from Burlington, VT have a new record, Constellations, due out on March 26th. “Baby Blue” the latest single off their upcoming project, is a dream pop ballad that will touch your soul.

Smooth and sensual, “Self Absorbed” by Connecticut’s Celine Who could’ve just as easily been music released by Jhene Aiko. You need to hear this record now.

With vocals that ought to immediately draw comparison to David Byrne of the Talking Heads, Connecticut’s Autopoet makes music that is fun and unique. Beginning with their newest single, “Out of Reach,” the duo of John Rule and Rex Thurstan are poised to have an electric 2021.

Guten tag! This morning we’re going international with Germany’s Telquist. The solo project of Sebastian Eggerbauer, Telquist is focused on making pop hits that live somewhere in the realm of Milky Chance. Released in November, “Mojo” and its thumping bass fit right in this mold.

Connecticut singer-songwriter Amanda Bellitto is back at it again with her new single “Colures,” giving us both a lesson in language and great music in one fell swoop. If there’s one thing we love at mvsicthovght, it’s efficiency.

Pond View describes themselves as a “CT rock band that’s gonna blade all over this sorry town,” and it feels like a fair statement. The Connecticut music landscape is diverse, but for all the pop-punk, emo, and other indie acts the state offers, I haven’t come across many pure rock bands. I’m not sure if I would call Pond View a pure rock band, but they could definitely play one on TV.

The latest release off slowthai’s upcoming Sophomore album TYRON, “Mazza” is exactly that, madness. Produced in part by himself and frequent collaborator SAMO, “Mazza” combines a woozy, buzzy synth with a deep driving bass, mashing the two juxtaposing sounds together, which somehow find a way to fit in this sonic universe.
