The dudes in CRYV keep on rolling out songs this summer. The latest bit of musical hang gliding from the duo is “Summer Clock,” a chiming little slice of, uh, summery music. It borders on the twee save for those eyes-on-the-sky synths propelling the whole thing higher than indie-pop often shoots for.

The music I’ve heard from her before…and seen her play at a couple of live shows…has leaned closer to trap with a heavy mix of American hip-hop touches (and verses). That…
Been a long while since we heard from YULO but here they are, back with a new mini-album due on June 1. Rollin’ doesn’t seem all that mini – it comes with eight songs, and the three tracks YULO decided to post online as a preview of the disc aren’t little blasts of rock either….
