Essential New Music: Innode's "Grain" - Magnet Magazine
Grain is the third recording by Innode, a trio founded by ex-Radian and Lokai guitarist Stefan Németh. If you had to sum up his creative process in a phrase, it would be “change within clear parameters.” Over the past quarter century, his collaborators, tools and procedures have shifted with time so that even the decision to surrender to circumstances, which is what it took to make Grain, is a consciously executed plan.

The emotional and artistic fulcrum of Babes In Canyon is Ebert and husband Nathan Hamer, the latter a founding member of folk/pop outfit Kuinka, which has built up a robust following with headlining tours and festival performances. Babes is rounded out by bassist/percussionist Michelle Nuño, another Kuinka member.
MAGNET Exclusive: Premiere Of Rose Hotel's "Fruit Tree" Video - Magnet Magazine
It might be smidge over-the-top to say that Rose Hotel’s Jordan Reynolds was at the end of her tether when she wrote “Fruit Tree” … but only a smidge. “I was thinking about what I wanted from music and my career, and if that dream was even possible anymore,” says Reynolds of the latest single from her upcoming LP, A Pawn Surrender, out June 7 on Strolling Bones. “I wanted to personify the temptation of success in music as something sensual and lusted over, which brought up the image of the forbidden fruit.”
MAGNET Exclusive: Premiere Of Warren Dunes' "Inspiration Blues" Video - Magnet Magazine
Anyone who’s experienced writer’s block can tell you it’s no fun. And Warren Dunes’ Julia Massey has seen her share of creative dry spells. “I wrote ‘Inspiration Blues’ because I was stuck in one of the inevitable storms of the artist’s journey,” says the leader of the exceedingly eclectic (and philanthropic) Seattle-based indie-pop trio. “I couldn’t figure out what to write about, so I wrote about that. I really enjoyed fleshing out that simple idea and trying to capture the feeling of losing your muse—not just with words but also with music.”
