Looking for new music?

This Song is about that something thats inside of us all the time that we try to fill with these superficial things. Physical pleasure, monetary pleasure and whatever else we want and think we need. It never fills that space in us. But we continue to do it over and over again hoping the next time we’ll get a different result… . This video was a story of the battle inside of ourselves we face everyday.

JMSN’s FREE residency at the Bootleg starts tomorrow night and continues through July.

The vibrant and varied arrangements are plenty approachable. Round knows her way around a hook, and she swings for the fences with every chorus. But none of that comes at the expense of her songs. Instead of writing vague tunes for the sake of easy licensing, Round uses her eclectic-pop approach as a vehicle for striking imagery and ambitious compositions.

-Bryan C. Reed, Paste Magazine review of Tigermending (7.4)
