Stem Afternoon

Fort Worth psych dub collective Stem Afternoon’s latest single “Ornette” is a tribute to jazz great Ornette Coleman featuring guest saxophonist Keylan Stone.

Known for their mix of psychedelic rock, dub, and trip-hop, the band has been steadily building a catalog that includes Bandit From Beyond (2022), Seminary Gates (2023), and recent singles “Odd Job” and “Motorkit.” A full album is slated for 2026.

After A Night of Unsettling Dreams

A Night of Unsettling Dreams reflects on the ever-changing face of Dallas�� Deep Ellum in their new single, “Yeah, I Remember Deep Ellum.” The title for the nostalgic track was inspired by graffiti songwriter Lulio Guevara spotted after one of the neighborhood’s many transformations.

“The truth is places and people are always changing,” Guevara said in his submission, “but each of us just latches on to the version we enjoyed the most.”

Shelley Q

Shelley Q shares her latest single, “Run to the Moon,” a soaring blend of alternative folk-rock and soul. The Australian-born, Denton-based artist is known for pairing cinematic storytelling with raw emotional depth, continuing a journey that began with her earliest performances in rural Western Australia.
