Music Video of the Day: “Rat” by Mone
Mone comes to us from Berlin’s dark folk scene with her new single, “Rat”. The song is brooding, fierce and subtly threatening, like a madness gleaned in the eye. You can see it in some people, but you don’t know how it’ll manifest when you first meet them. And, even though you know they could be crazy, you still want to hang out…

The Quarantine Questionnaire: Ryan Avery
Who are you and are you in a band or do you perform solo? If in a band(s), what is the name of that band?

Music Video of the Day: “Harpy” by Fair Mothers
Brooding, heavily-textured, alt-folk is definitely my kinda thing and Fair Mothers gets it so right on their latest single. More a smoldering coal that slow-burn because “Harpy” never really catches fire. It just seethes with hidden heat, like a wound not yet healed. Kevin Allan, the musician behind Fair Mothers, delivers lyrics in a gutted voice only to be punctuated by the anguished vocals of Glasgow-based US artist Faith Eliott just before the song comes to its close. Get into the gothic folk of the new single, “Harpy.”
