Go Dreamer – Outta Here Music Video Drop (Video)

Hollyweerd alum, current member of Grammy nominated production crew The Flush, and one of #NewAtlanta’s torch bearers of the old school ATL infused/stream of consciousness rap/lo-fi/pop/indie rock sound, Go Dreamer has hipped us up on the first visual drop for his next mixtape release ‘Animals vs Machines 2 Side: (M)achines’.  The first AvM made waves last year, and so far, from what we’ve experienced from this go around, one would expect the same.

Indie Pop Fave Teams With Quirky Composer 

We spent an undue amount of time in 2010 rocking out to Bethany Cosentino’s instant-retro-indie debut album as Best Coast, mostly because it reminded us equal parts 1990s Riot Grrl heyday, ’70s Runaways punk mischief, and ’60s Shangri-La’s pop perfection.
