Sis and the Lower Wisdom enchant with the lush, spiritual Alt-pop dream “Wolf Child”
Sis and the Lower Wisdom‘s new single “Wolf Child” is the second song from their upcoming album SAINTS AND ALIENS. It adds to their already amazing sound world. This song is a rich, hypnotic blend of alternative pop and spiritual jazz that is personal, otherworldly, and very moving.
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jenny Gillespie Mason started the project as an experiment at home. It then became a group of musicians from Los Angeles who worked together. The Gnostic idea that divine wisdom comes down into the physical world gave rise to the name “the Lower Wisdom.” The name is a perfect fit for the music’s purpose: to let the spirit stumble, shimmer, and take shape through sound.
“Wolf Child” makes that point clear right away. The song has many layers, is soft, and pulls you in. It makes me think of how vulnerable Dido is, how close Rhye is to the atmosphere, and how deep Joni Mitchell’s poetry is. Mason’s voice is soft but powerful, and it flows through the melody like a secret.
The first songs on SAINTS AND ALIENS, like “Wolf Child” and “Crocus Man,” discuss the magic that can be found in the people we love, the saints and aliens who live among us. There is both wonder and strangeness here, as well as the clear mark of two years of careful writing and editing. Producer and bassist Dougie Stu made the writing even sharper.

Loris Tils brings funk energy to life with “IKKI”
Loris Tils comes out swinging with “IKKI,” a single that comes with energy and musicianship right from the opening note. Borne on the unmistakable thump of Minneapolis Funk, the song surges forward with a groove that feels impressively designed and still wildly alive.
“IKKI” is a naughty conversation between slap bass and guitar, and the two instruments impressively craft around each other with both precision and flair, building a high-octane rhythm section that feels as tight as it is explosive.
The magic of “IKKI” is this tension, relentless discipline balanced by acrobats of daring improvisation. The energy never overwhelms the groove. Instead, it expands on it, making this song a celebration of rhythm, creativity, and instrumental chemistry.

Glass Mansions turn a possible goodbye into “SUNSETTING”
Glass Mansions return with “SUNSETTING,” a new single that came together during some uncertain times for the project. What began as a mini farewell to music turned out to be among the band’s most authentic and openhearted efforts yet.
The back story of the song’s creation feels almost cinematic. The day the decision was made to quit music altogether, a message came through from some big-time music executive who had heard about the band’s first Ep and wanted to collaborate. The band had agreed to share unreleased demos on request, though they hadn’t prepared any. That urgency caused a combustion of creativity that would shape the song’s trajectory.
“SUNSETTING” was written, tracked, and recorded in a home studio with scratch vocals in roughly two hours. What could have been a thrown-together demo became a surprise breakthrough. Confronted with the prospect of delivering just one last song, the writing became rather reflective, what would you say if it were your final creative curtain call.
“SUNSETTING,” produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount alongside Orb Studios’ Taylor Webb, captures the urgency of its origin story but colors it with a new reflective emotional depth. The upshot is a song that feels at once improvisational and profound, an affirmation that, sometimes, when we think we’re reaching the end of something, it’s actually only setting in motion the most powerful of new starts.
