Set to a fury-inducing beat but entirely too lumbering to be considered a straight-up crossover, Locations’ “Moves” wastes no time distinguishing itself from the competition with a band of abstract charm separating its staring act and the audience he seeks to impress. Whether you’re listening to the song on its …

Independent artists are having an amazing autumn right now, and you needn’t listen any further than the new sounds of Sp8ce Owl’s latest single to understand why. While the American underground might have bested some of the players in his scene in the last couple of years with regards to …
