LUTHI likes to call their music "Cumberland funk", but "boogie circus" will work in a pinch. The seven-piece band provides a sound in which you'll find both terms equally accurate. On their release Episode One -- the first in a series of twin-singles to come out in 2019 -- LUTHI brings two new songs full of their ability to get you in the mood to dance wherever you listen. The premiere new track on the single, "Sleepwalkin", has a beat and horns which would wake the dead, and the studio version of the live staple "Out Of This World" pushes all of the energy of the band's stage antics through your headphones. Episode One drops after a productive past year, during which LUTHI performed over 80 shows, released their debut full-length album Stranger, and played a handful of shows at SXSW 2019. Watch the band perform "Sleepwalkin" below. - Will Sisskind

If I told you, "Hey, Anana Kaye's "Blueberry Fireworks" sounds a lot like a lost Kate Bush track," you'd say, "You always say that a female artist with an idiosyncratic voice and a slow art rock feel sounds like Kate Bush." But Kaye, along with musical conspirator Irakli Gabriel, mark Bush as an influence, along with other soulful artists of the past such as Bowie, Leonard Cohen, and Nick Cave. "Blueberry Fireworks" and its music video touch on subjects of alienation and isolation, along with a futile search for identity, with mannequins and fruit involved in the mix. Kaye's second album Detour will drop later this year, and she and Gabriel will play The Crying Wolf on April 23rd. Take a look at the music video for "Blueberry Fireworks" below. - Will Sisskind

Songwriter Michelle LeBlanc releases her newest single "A Good Man" on April 5th, following up her 2018 debut EP A Man Like You. The folk artist's newest song matches the passion and grit of past singles such as "B.T.W.", but contains a spacey atmosphere within its almost four-minute length that might remind listeners of Mazzy Star or Cat Power. LeBlanc comes to Nashville from New York; on her website, she posts often about her observations on tarot, an art which helped her make the big decision to make the move away from her old life and her past relationship. "A Good Man" touches on that story, but also on the hope that perhaps LeBlanc can find her old kind of love again, even in a semi-new town. Take a listen to "B.T.W.", a cut from A Man Like You, below. - Will Sisskind

You may have noticed -- if you're an avid reader of the Deli -- that we wrote about songwriter Stacey Randol's new LP Songs in the Soil earlier this month. We now have a special premiere to announce from that album: Randol has released the music video for the title track. You might find yourself confused watching the video, as the song's psych groove and the film grain -- along with Randol's flowing white and earth-toned floral dresses -- may make you think that you're watching something from the Sixties. But this was indeed made in the late 2010s, and it continues a trend of indie artists releasing music videos made on film. Randol's song calls for this aesthetic, and as you'll see in the music video, they make a perfect match. Take a look at the video for "Songs in the Soil" below. - Will Sisskind

Straddling the lines between early grunge and indie rock, The Prescriptions package their unique sound in the form of Hollywood Gold, their debut album set to launch on April 5th via Single Lock Records. The group have just come from performing at SXSW following a wave of fresh buzz since their formation several years ago. Their first album showcases the diversity in their songwriting; the title track has the sound of Wilco with the slight harmonica touch of John Popper, while "Broken Wing" has a hint of Neil Young. The Prescriptions have shows in Atlanta and Birmingham in May; stay tuned for their next performance at home in Nashville. Until then, take a listen to "Broken Wing" below. - Will Sisskind
