The Shins :: "Mildenhall" :: @TheShins :: New Album Heartworms out 3.10.17
"The Shins have a new album called Heartworms coming out March 10, 2017. Mildenhall is the name of a town in Suffolk, England where James Mercer, the man behind The Shins, relocated as a fifteen year old with his family from the States to the military airbase located there. The song anyhow is a perfectly realized evocation of both times past and life continued." - It Starts With a Birthstone

Middle Kids :: "Never Start" :: @MiddleKidsMusic :: Self-Titled EP out now
This is the second time we've featured Middle Kids on Ventipop. Obviously, we are picking up what they are putting down...or we just have an affinity for all things having to do with being the middle child. Us and Jan Brady.

Holly Miranda & The New Asylum Choir :: "Midnight Oil" :: @hollymiranda :: Official Site
"For this Standing Rock protest song "Midnight Oil," Miranda enlisted 28 people — including Daily Show creator Lizz Winstead, TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone, Ani DiFranco and Saturday Night Live castmember Sasheer Zamata — to really blow out the choral arrangement that closes the song. Unlike many star-heavy songs of solidarity in the past, "Midnight Oil" is lovely, focused and (actually) uplifting." - NPR

Satellite Hearts :: "16:12" :: @SatelliteHearts :: Soundcloud Channel
"It's like The Clash infused with unpolished 80's brat punk that trekked through the 60's while flirting with bell-bottomed psychedelics". Established in December 2009 in Yardley, Pennsylvania, Satellite Hearts has released two albums (Imperial Green & Desire Forces The Flow), one single (Doing Things Right), and one EP (Four To The Floor) respectively since then. The band continues to write, record, and perform along the east coast of the United States, while residing in Philadelphia, PA. - Satellite Hearts Official Site
