“River Road” – The Reflections
Brooklyn, NY
If you dig bands that mix chill indie rock with a wholesome touch, the identical twins (Tim and Dan McGuigan) that make up The Reflections have you covered! Their single “River Road” paints a picture of being completely present in the moment, exploring the river bend, though the river could be a metaphor for life.

If you currently have a crush on someone you’ve known for a while, this is a sweet song to add to your mixtape for them, (do people still do that these days?)

The juxtaposing raw sadness in the lyrics, while keeping the vibe musically upbeat, makes “low;” anthemic. This song was appropriately released nearing the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, and I feel like the upbeat music is symbolic of keeping your chin up while you’re in your feels. I’ve just heard of these artists, but already see this collaboration between Glooms and Baby AK will be played everywhere for a very long time!
