New Jersey singer-songwriter Hunter Moss has premiered his new single “Let You Down” via Americana UK. According to the announcement, the track deals with self-sabotage, inner conflict and the impulse to walk away from one’s life and expectations, imagery that surfaces in the song’s reference to moving to the sea.

Moss developed his guitar-based songwriting after studying through online Berklee College of Music courses and later at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, following time spent in Tucson’s local music scene as a sound engineer. His early work draws on folk and Americana, with touchstones including Mumford & Sons, Tyler Childers, Zach Bryan and Caamp, while he has said he wants to move toward more atmospheric, dream-pop-influenced territory in future releases.

Daytime TV released a music video for their new single “Meditate” on Monday. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album Rodeo, due out February 19 and produced by Pete Hutchings, whose credits include Royal Blood, Foals and Gang of Youths.

According to the band’s representatives, the album reflects frontman Will Irvine’s recovery after a serious health scare in which doctors struggled to diagnose a rare condition later identified as Still’s disease. The band describes the record as shaped by that experience.

Rodeo is available for pre-save ahead of its February release.

Bowmanville, Ontario country and Americana artist Hunter James has released his new single “Chasing A Sound,” a track blending outlaw country and Americana influences. According to the announcement, the single has earned a spot on Apple Music’s “Canada’s Country” playlist cover.

James says the song, co-written with Ariana Eagleson, reflects a three-year period of traveling between Nashville, Georgia and Kentucky in search of his sound before scrapping two previously recorded EPs and starting over. He ultimately recorded the track at home in Ontario with producer Markus Maar, cutting it live off the floor with his own touring band rather than studio musicians. The band includes Jake Lauzon, Rooster on drums, Jim Gorry on bass, Parker Farris on electric and lead guitar, Pat Walsh on harmonica and Rob Phillips on piano.

James has recently performed select dates on Gord Bamford’s “As Long As There’s A Bar” tour and opened for the Reklaws at the Kee to Bala, along with appearances at North of Nowhere, Departure Fest and Winding Roads Live.

Toronto folk-rock singer-songwriter Raina Krangle has released a new EP, ‘HEADBANGERS: A Musical Recovery After Concussion,’ chronicling her return to music following a 2019 concussion that made listening to and performing music physically difficult. The project includes a companion artistic journal with QR-linked recordings drawn from voice notes and videos she made during her recovery.

The EP was recorded with longtime musical partner Brian Siegel. Its lead track, “My Beautiful Dear,” is based on her parents’ relationship and incorporates a reference to Bruce Cockburn’s “All the Diamonds,” which Krangle says she cleared with Cockburn’s permission after connecting with him through his manager, Bernie Finkelstein, and producer Colin Linden. The remaining tracks address themes including social and technological change and calls for unity.

Krangle, who began performing at Toronto open mics including the Free Times Cafe and the El Mocambo as a teenager, released her debut album ‘Solstice’ in 2012 and has performed at festivals including Winterfolk, the Newmarket Jazz Festival and Hamilton’s Supercrawl. She will celebrate the EP’s release with a show on November 14 at The George Event Space in Newmarket, Ontario, backed by her band Raina & The Wranglers.

Canadian singer-songwriter Henry Lees has released “That Last Goodbye,” a single co-written with Nova Scotia songwriter Joanna Butler and produced by Allister Bradley. The song was written in the aftermath of Lees losing three siblings within less than a year, between late 2022 and mid-2023, following earlier losses of another sister and both parents.

Lees and Butler developed the track during a SongStudio songwriting workshop, where Bradley, then co-managing the program, first heard the piano-based demo and later agreed to produce the final version. The 2025 International Songwriting Competition named “That Last Goodbye” a semi-finalist in the Folk/Singer-Songwriter category, which the announcement describes as Lees’ twelfth honor from international music competitions since 2021.

The single follows Lees’ previous releases “Into Your Orbit” and “Smoke,” which according to the announcement have drawn more than 10,000 streams combined along with placements on Spotify’s Daylist and Mixes, plus college and community radio airplay in North America, the UK, Europe and South America. Both prior songs also received recognition from the International Songwriting Competition and Unsigned Only Music Awards, the announcement says.
