New: Kate Pierson, The Wild Feathers, The War and Treaty, Keeton Coffman, Tessa Rose Jackson


Kate Pierson: Evil Love


This member of The B-52s steps out on her own with Radios & Rainbows, an LP due in September. "Channeling the spirit of The Ronettes, The Crystals, The Shangri-Las, and Amy Winehouse, Pierson’s pipes are pure power," writes Post-Punk.com. Pierson says “It’s an eclectic group of songs ... Overall, the album has an upbeat vibe because I wanted to put out something positive in these dark times." She describes this song as “a not-so-true tale of obsessive possessiveness and righteous revenge.” (Photo by John Stapleton)

The Wild Feathers: Don't Know


We previously featured "Sanctuary" from the Nashville band's upcoming LP, Sirens. Bassist-singer Joel King says this song "started out as just an up-tempo rock and roll bass riff. Then adding a surf guitar and drums playing the toms, the lyrics had to be something primal and emotional. Leaving an old way of life behind but not sure you really want to."

The War and Treaty: Tunnel Vision


This is one of a string of recent singles that we surmise may be leading up to a new album by the duo of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter. We don't have any further information, but the song is a rousing, joyful rock 'n' roller about focusing on a righteous path: "I've got tunnel vision / I'm on my way to the promised land."

Keeton Coffman: Violet


We've been spinning "Kathryn," and now want to catch up with another recent single from this Texas singer-songwriter-bandleader. In a message to fans, he said: "Many of you have asked me...'Who is Katryn?'... 'Who is Violet?' Well, these songs are a bit like Rorschach images... they will aim to tell you more about you than about the person who made them." Spoiler: In the lyric, violet is an eye color.

Tessa Rose Jackson: The Antidote


A Dutch artist based in London (who previously recorded under the name Someone), Jackson teams with Charles Prest of Noon Garden and keyboardist Darius Timmer on this single from her upcoming EP  A Mirror Sometimes, due in October. This song, Jackson says, "is a hypnotic, psychedelic folk track about the allure of the comfort zone and how scary it can be to step out of it. An ode to my fellow over-thinkers, over-worriers."
