It’s that time of the week! Spindle Selects is back, and we have brand new releases, including, Tay Iwar, Moon Taxi, Kali Uchis and more. Check out some of our Selects below.

Moon Taxi – Classics

Nashville alt-rockers Moon Taxi are stepping into a new era of their story with their latest single ‘Classics,’ the first release off their upcoming album out this summer. A quintessential feel-good song, ‘Classics’ embodies what it feels like to roll the windows down and sing along to your favorite band as loud as your lungs allow. Inspired by moments of self-reflection and nostalgic bliss, the piano-led track is honeyed by reverb-soaked guitar riffs providing listeners with the ultimate anthem perfect for brighter days ahead.

GTXP – Contraband

GXTP (guns and toilet paper) may have only crept into the music scene over the last few months, but they sure know how to make a lasting impression! Comprised of producers Jason ‘Poo Bear’ Paul and Sasha Sirota along with Triple Sixx, the rock band recently shared a wild and comedic music video for their single ‘Contraband’ featuring Tommy Lee. While the track instantly captivates listeners with its bombastic sound, the video features a surplus of toilet paper guns, goats (yes, really), and cryptic messages that are sure to intrigue any viewer from first watch!

Mac Wetha ft. Junior Varsity – Red Hook

Mac Wetha has returned with his brand new single ‘Red Hook.’ However this time around, the talented multi-faceted producer is joined by the emerging music duo Junior Varsity. Filled with their unique sounds, the trio have created a melancholy and gentle euphoric single that’s a must listen.

Tay Iwar – Healing

Tay Iwar has released his first taste of new music with his single ‘Healing.’ Filled with his intoxicating vocals and percussive beats, the track showcases Tay’s introspective journey as a solo artist in the music industry.

French The Kid – SINGLE PLAYER

Essex born rapper French The Kid has returned to the music sphere with his new sleek track ‘Snow.’ From start to finish, the record is sure to keep fans dancing all night long with its warbling chords and skittering 808 drum patterns. We can’t get enough of the track.

Gorillaz ft. Bad Bunny – Tormenta

The Gorillaz celebrated the release of their brand-new album with their Bad Bunny collaboration ‘Tormenta.’ The group’s final single is the perfect combination of both artists and their unique sounds. We’re going to need more collaborations between the two music talents.

Kali Uchis – Moonlight

American-Colombian superstar Kali Ulchis has given a taste of her new album ‘Red Moon in Venus’ with her single ‘Moonlight.’ Described as a “burning expression of desire, heartbreak, faith and honesty,” the record is the perfect start to a sure-to-be iconic era.

Model/Actriz – Pure Mode

Fans of Model/Actriz rejoice, the Brooklyn-based music collective has released their debut album ‘Pure Mode,’ and we can’t get enough. Based on Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story, the album’s self-titled single explores an array of topics including the mystery behind humans wanting to protect themselves from their inner truths.

JayO – 22

JayO has returned with his alt R&B and Afrobeats single ’22.’ Backed by an infectious production, the track features the artist’s smooth cadence and lyrical lucidity throughout the record. We can’t wait to hear more from Jay0.

Yaeji – DONE (LET’S GET IT) 

Yaeji reflects on the generational patterns and traumas in her new track ‘Done (Let’s Get It).’ With a smooth production, the single is full of feel-good lyrics that do an amazing job of encouraging music listeners to heal themselves and their past heartaches.

Izzy Camina –  Celestial Sodomy

Izzy Camina has shared her new single ‘Celestial Sodomy’, ahead of her forthcoming EP ANG3L NUMB3RS. Written and produced by Izzy herself, the new single showcases the young talent’s evolved sound with its electronic-pop production. Filled with lyrics relating to mythology and folklore, ‘Celestial Sodomy’, is a magical track that needs to be on your radar. Speaking on the track, Izzy said: “In a procession of lore, I tell a love story (inspired by experience) between the god of war, Aries, and the god of the underworld, Hades. Mars exhibits sheer force in the material plane, but even the strongest warrior bends knee to Pluto and his archetypical, mythological and astrological signifiers – sheer transformation, annihilation and subsequent purity and rebirth. Pluto is seldom gentle in his effects, his presence foreshadowing the ultimate release, erotic or otherwise. Chain your primeval desires to him and meet your truth.”
