A concise, precursory, beckoning song that is both foreboding and determined. Glitchy, electronica sounds mix with guitars and drums. A snarky, smart-alecky introduction resolves to an endearing chorus. Fitting for an opening scene, a character introduction, or expository interlude. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indietronica
A strident, multi-layered, jazz-inspired denouement. Video game pop mixes with Halloween spookiness. Multi-instrumental: horns, guitar, piano, strings. At turns frustrated and emancipated. Resounding and reverberating. Baleful and welcoming. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, IndietronicaCaution: Explicit Lyrics
Down-tempo, balmy, glass, vibe-y, ruminative. Clear piano chords backed by strings move through sweeping minor and major chord contemplations. Considers the presence of memories in dreams. Woodwinds and classical guitar join the song in later bars. Modern folk. Rustic but urban. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indietronica
A mellow, introspective song about the evolution of various relationships over time. Touches of classical music mixes with read-outs of computer sounds and intriguing, tasteful electric guitar. Terse and tense moments mix with melodious, heartfelt release. Well-ordered but touching. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indietronica
A sentimental, heartfelt, moderate rock song on the themes of longing, thankfulness, and love. We suited for a romantic, search-and-discovery narrative. High-energy, but pleasingly mournful. A mix of My Bloody Valentine, R. E. M., and Radiohead. Features a bracing, high-action guitar solo. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indietronica
A coastal shanty for a foggy night under a seaside street lamp. Mysterious and mellow minor chords swim towards a major chord chorus that offers a moment of suspended resolution. For moonlit, quiet, transitory moments. Subtle and contemplative, but not without certainty. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Rocktronica
An exacting, always-on, new world jazz groove is interspersed with ruminative spaces filled with horns and bookmarked by a cohesive, uplifting, declarative chorus. Broad-strokes of brass paint the sky above a synth and beat train-yard. Choice interludes culminate in decadent free jazz revelry. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indietronica
A slow-burning, sexy, cataclysmic groove out. Jazz chords over a hip-hop beat evolve into a crescendo of moody, electric guitar drenching. Would work well for Island of the Lotus Eater moments or periods of character confusion. The song builds to an endearing moment of resonant major-chord clarity. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Rocktronica
A tropical yet modern contemplation on fact and fiction. Reserved but emboldened, confronted but confident, would work well for a denouement or narrative clarification. Moments of nostalgic circumspection. Builds to an elegant, orchestral conclusion. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indietronica
An evocative, driving, modern folk song – at turns pensive and expansive. Long stretches of lavish, assured instrumentation that evoke an uplifting dramatic apex or narrative resolution. Aphoristic lyrics contemplate modern themes of desire, restlessness, and culpability. "Join the club." Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indietronica
A concise, bright, whimsical, guitar-driven modern folk-song. Cheerful but reflective. Warm. A long fade in from the top good for dialogue posts. Confident rhythmic development. Excellent for short segments, travel scenes, road stories, or road trip footage. Reminiscent of Nick Drake and R. E. M. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indietronica
A unique, horn-infused, modern jazz rock treatise on trusting instincts amid growth. A tense, single-note guitar solo break at 2:13 opens into illuminative horn section colors and blooms into a melodic, colorful chorus that builds to a pitched crescendo. Dramatic, forward-moving, one-of-a-kind. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Indietronica
