Music Video: Rich Aucoin Captures the United States via Bicycle for ‘Dopamine’
It’s already been decided that Rich Aucoin’s new album, United States, is the most anticipated of the year. Having already released two slapping singles, “Reset” and “How It Breaks”, not to mention the current state of the album’s namesake we’re expecting something between a dance party and a riot. Aucoin’s latest single, “Dopamine” is more reflective of his manner for composing the album itself: through a two-year-long bike ride around the perimeter of the country with a camera in tow.

Music Video: Soap Opera Record an At-Home Version of ‘Tension Mountain’
When Soap Opera recorded their latest album, Be Fire, in the summer of 2019 it was with a certain level of uncertainty in mind. Bandmates Adam Engram and Peter Lannon found themselves going through a period of big changes while the songs were being written. But it was the normal everyday kind of changes they were experiencing: love, work, school, and the other usual events that make up a life. They weren’t expecting the kind of unifying changes that could halt any plans for touring a new album and re-recording and re-releasing a new at-home version of their single “Tension Mountain”, but here we are.
