One Last Job ‘Beneath the Ocean’
Folk-rock ensemble “Beneath the Ocean,” the most recent song from One Last Job, is a genre-blender of bedroom pop, lo-fi, and indie-folk. The entire song was recorded using a 2012 Macbook running Ableton 11 in frontman Travis Klein’s living room. It was then refined while touring the US and staying in several hotels and Airbnbs. With the interface recording for the guitar, bass, and vocals and the MIDI for the drums and keys, there’s a reflective, slow-burning vibe. Michael Briggs mixed and mastered it in Denton, Texas.

The Neon Sea ‘As I Wonder’
The Neon Sea didn’t just arrive; they stormed in with ‘As I Wonder’, a track that drips with atmospheric charm and sheer ambition.
