October 27, 2025 ‘We Were Called The Foxx’ Marks Next Step for Plain Mister Smith’s Indie-Folk Push

‘We Were Called The Foxx’ Marks Next Step for Plain Mister Smith’s Indie-Folk Push

Out now on October 24 via Amelia Recordings and Symphonic, Plain Mister Smith‘s ‘We Were Called The Foxx’ arrives as the latest preview from his building catalog, hot on the heels of the wry ‘Miss Sunshine’ and ahead of a spring 2026 album release. Once handling guitar duties for the shadowy Canadian darkwave group Moev, Smith now channels that experience alongside his role as a cellist in the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, creating under his alias a sound that’s picked up endorsements from tastemakers including Wonderland Magazine, CLASH Magazine, NOTION, Under The Radar, Earmilk, METAL, Noctis Mag, and Atwood Mag. Rooted in scenes across Vancouver and London, his work layers indie-folk arrangements with sharp, memorable lines and an undercurrent of personal reckoning—appealing to fans of Tame Impala‘s layered haze, Death Cab for Cutie‘s introspective drive, and The Beatles‘ effortless earworms.

‘We Were Called The Foxx’ recalls tales of playful memories from his youth and all the trials and tribulations that came with it, channeling it into this track. It features guitar riffs inspired by The Cure, a clean rhythm section, and gentle vocals by Findlay Brown to help convey the feel of tugging on the delicate and pricelessness of cherished memories. 

Plain Mister Smith shared: “‘The Foxx’ was my first band in grade 6 or so. It was a bit of a sonic disaster – I don’t even think we knew we needed to tune our guitars. But you have to start somewhere/sometime! ‘We were called the Foxx’ is a testament to the crazy cacophonic shenanigans we got up to as pre-pubescent want-to-be rock gods.

October 16, 2025 Eyal Erlich’s ‘Jenny’ Cuts Deep With a Video That Captures Heartbreak

Eyal Erlich’s ‘Jenny’ Cuts Deep With a Video That Captures Heartbreak

Eyal Erlich just let loose his solo single ‘Jenny’, hitting streaming platforms June 21, 2025. The Tel Aviv artist, who’s been grinding Israel’s club circuit since 2016, has that rare talent for turning a lone acoustic into a confessional bonfire—think Jeff Buckley‘s raw nerve crossed with Nick Drake‘s whispery bite and Ben Howard‘s rustic swing. No major-label machine behind him, Eyal‘s carved out a space that has earned him a die-hard fanbase with a catalogue that feels like eavesdropping on your own regrets, all ‘70s folk-rock grit laced with ‘90s indie shadow. This one’s the opener for his long-teased debut full-length, and damn if it doesn’t scream breakout potential for a guy who’s all about the quiet storm.

‘Jenny’ doesn’t mess around: it’s a slow-burn elegy for love that slipped away, built on fingerstyle runs that snag like barbed wire and vocals gravelly enough to scrape the soul. Eyal leans into those mid-song swells, letting the melody fray at the edges to mirror the mess of memory—pure singer-songwriter gold that rewards a headphone dive.

The Levontin live clip seals it, raw footage of Eyal owning the room with zero safety net of a large scale production, turning ache into something almost communal. In an industry bloated with TikTok fluff, this is indie doing what it does best: sticking the knife in and twisting just right. Keep an eye on Eyal Erlich—his full record’s gonna rattle more cages.

October 3, 2025 Jairic Delivers a Tense Hip-Hop Cut with ‘Don’t Let Me Put A Track On You’ Video

Jairic put out his new single ‘Don’t Let Me Put A Track On You’ last week on September 25 through Rich Air Music, keeping his streak of do-it-all releases alive. The guy got his start in Detroit, where music filled the house from day one, and he spent those early years making tracks for rappers around town before going solo with a sound that’s all his own. He pulls from Nas and Wu-Tang Clan for the weight in his words, folds in the grit of Detroit’s lesser-known spots, throws in some classic funk grooves, ’60s rock bite, and those big film-score swells. Over the summer, he turned heads with low-key sets at Château Les Alouettes in Cannes and Villa Balbiano on Lake Como, and popped up live for the Paris debut of the short film Azur. Jairic handles the writing, the beats, the vocals—everything—then pairs it with visuals that balance sharp luxury against rough edges, landing him right where rap rubs up against cinema and high fashion.

What makes this one stick is the way Jairic layers his delivery: straight-talk bars over a beat that builds from knotted-up chaos to a smoother vocal turn, then kicks back into a full-throttle hip-hop drive. It’s got that forward momentum, the kind his production always carries, making you lean in for the next switch. The video takes it deeper, shot by Vansh Luthra, the Indian director out of Prague who’s built a rep on films like Two Words as the Key and the award-pulling Destination Paradise—it even grabbed an “Honorable Mention by the Press” at the Academy-qualifying Festival Internacional de Cine Lebu. Jairic shows up sharp in a suit, caught in this drawn-out push-pull with assistant director Julie Weber playing the part of someone who drifts in close with a loaded stare. They move through empty nighttime streets, lights carving hard lines across faces, and a single rose keeps popping up as this quiet thread—turning the whole thing into a tight story about who ends up holding the cards. 

Jairic shared: “The video is built around the symbol of a rose. It moves through a dark, seductive world, exploring power, obsession, and how the hunter can quickly become the hunted. The song itself carries that same energy — a warning, a dare, a promise: don’t let me put a track on you.
