Tim Cohen today releases his debut solo record Luck Man, out via Sinderlyn / Remote Control Records.

On Luck Man, Cohen has created a lush, insular world that deals with the uneasiness of accepting life’s inherent flaws. Recorded...

EZTV are back with a new single ‘Reason To Run’ which they premiered via The FADER. The track comes from their killer album, High In Place out Friday 30 September. The FADER describe it as “a breezy confluence of baked, magic hour guitar strums and slightly snarling electric riffs.
