MUSIC MONDAY | SondorBlue takes over this week's playlist
Movers + shakers of the "new bohemian movement," Sonder Blue, has taken over #musicmonday
11.12.17
Beatles and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, oh my.
Despite being in their early twenties, SondorBlue is often compared with those legendary acts. They are a Charleston based alternative rock quartet featuring three part harmonies that harken back to the days before Pro-tools made real vocal talent optional. Originally hailing from Hilton Head, the band relocated to attended school at College of Charleston. SondorBlue have been touring the east coast extensively in 2017 and were recently tapped as a local opener for NPR's Tiny Desk tour. Check out some of their upcoming tour dates here:
December 20 – Charlotte, NC - The Evening Muse
December 31 – Columbia, SC- Famously Hot New Year w/Elle King, Nappy Roots, Fatrat Da Czar
January 12 – Charleston, SC- The Royal American
January 18 – Philadelphia, PA – Grape Room
January 19 – Lancaster, PA – Tellus 360
January 20 – Wildwood, NJ – Dog Tooth Bar & Grill
January 22 – New York, NY – Arlene's Grocery
In addition to an exciting east coast tour, the band recently released an EP entitled, You Will Found Love on Ashley Avenue. The bittersweet album features five songs that take you on a journey of growing pains, love, heartbreak, and more. The Beatles influence is definitely recognizable but is no where near the same; but, don't take my word for it. Listen to their EP here.
Escape! Is my personal favorite song, so you could imagine how excited I was to see there is a visual for it. Check the music video out here and keep reading to listen to the playlist they curated just for Popdust readers!
<h2>The Playlist</h2><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="380" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/user/therapscallionclub/playlist/6S02c2xq5cWelmm89TlaYP" width="300"></iframe></div><div class="rm-embed embed-media">Play by Play Commentary for SondorBlue's Popdust Playlist Takeover, as Narrated by Lead Vocalist and Bassist, Andrew Hall</div><h2>"I Wanna Prove to You" | The Lemon Twigs</h2><div class="rm-embed embed-media"> Our producer, Omar Colon, played us one of their songs (I think it was either "Baby, Baby" or "As Long As We're Together") amidst a break from recording our second EP, "You Will Find Love on Ashley Avenue", and we were really digging their sound, especially since we were working on our song, "I Hate Living Like This", which definitely dabbles in that power pop / baroque pop realm of music—much like some of The Lemon Twigs's songs. But, we really started getting into their music about three or four months ago, after I found a live concert of their's from a festival in France called, "Cabaret Vert".</div>

WATCH: Billie Eilish Declares Your Opinion Of Her "Not My Responsibility" In Powerful New Short Film
The young star bears all in "NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY."
28.05.20
Break out pop star and five time Grammy-award-winner Billie Eilish is sick of your body shaming.
The 18-year-old just dropped a powerful new short film in which she slowly removes her clothes as we hear her voice hypnotically decry the media's obsession with her body. She says, "Some people hate what I wear. Some people praise it. Some people use it to shame others. Some people use it to shame me. But I feel you watching, always, and nothing I do goes unseen. So, whether I feel your stares, your disapproval, or your sigh of relief—if I lived by them, I'd never be able to move. Would you like me to be smaller? Weaker? Softer? Taller? Would you like me to be quiet? Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest? Am I my stomach, my hips?" Meanwhile, she strips to a black bikini in slow motion, eventually sinking into a pool of black viscous liquid and declaring your opinion "not my responsibility."
<p>The video is a powerful act of self-reclamation, and makes it clear that while Eilish recognizes that sexualization and critique is an inevitable part of being in the public eye, she doesn't plan to succumb to it. Instead, she chose to reveal her body (which has always been obscured by oversized clothes) on her own terms, in her own time. As a new generation of young women grow up, perhaps we can hope that they feel more comfortable in their skin than previous generations thanks to a role model like Billie Eilish. </p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>
