Daniel Ruiz released “Blackout Drunk Dream (Silvia Comes Flying Through the Window)” on May 28th, 2018.
The liquored up single was recorded and produced in Barcelona by the man himself, Daniel Ruiz.
The swooning single takes one on a midnight voyage through the cosmic underbelly of Daniel’s inebriated dreamworld. It’s a lush trip to behold.
Daniel will be touring around Spain this summer.
Be on the lookout for Daniel’s new album — it will be out later this year.

Kendall Core’s single “Crazy Dog” is on fire with emotion. Core shows charisma with her guitar, and that talent paired with her deep, vibrating vocals makes this track a gem of dark folk.
When she sings about her absent lover you can almost feel tendrils of loss twisting around the heart of the song. It is painfully beautiful.
The track ends with Core literally howling like a dog, but she does it so beautifully that its reminiscent of storybook witches uttering incantations to bring back the dead. In Core’s case, the dead she attempts to revive is not a human, but a sense of identity built around another person. “Who have I become?” she sings. “What have I done?”
Core’s spell-casting pours vulnerability from every verse, and when the song comes to an end her howling feels both appropriate and freeing. Keep howling at the moon, sister. You’re killin’ it.
Her album Crazy Dog is set to be released May 11th — digitally.

“Snow” is an old track, but I still can’t get enough of it. If the end of the universe was approaching and humanity had to choose one track to describe the feeling of falling into nothingness, I wouldn’t be surprised if this one made the cut.
An undercurrent of bleakness runs through the track, but the song’s soft guitar work surrounds you with warmth, soothing you into accepting your mistakes.
The idea of losing your way might be sad, but for those who’ve become entirely unconcerned about their failures it makes more sense to just let go.
“Snow” is just the right mixture of enchantment and melancholy to lull humanity into the void. While we continue to exist, however, there’s nothing wrong with letting the track sing you into a sense of peace.

Bonfire Lakes sounds familiar with sorrowful tunes, and that experience shines through their single “Two Sisters”. I’ll admit, listening to the song was a bit hard for me. Death is a part of life that no one can escape, but as sentimental beings we hope that our loved ones will never meet that fate, and if they do, hopefully not in our lifetimes. However, with lyrics such as “you left unannounced just like your sister” and “she went out in the cold and into the darkness” it’s easy to understand that the singer has lived through the death of someone special.
Although this aspect is melancholy enough to cement the single as one of Bonfire Lakes greatest laments, the song takes true emotional flight when it delves into the artist’s second loss. The two sisters, you see, both leave. One in death, and the other in terms of distance. It’s apparent that the artist feels loss for both siblings, even if one is still alive. Can you say that the death of intimacy is as poignant as true, physical death? I’m not sure. However, Bonfire Lakes will bring you to your knees with that question as the gentle lyrics “Two Sisters” spins a sad tale of complex losses.
