The Next Wave Ft. Jelani Aryeh, Peach Tree Rascals, and More

New songs, new artists, new playlists 🎵 [Pigeons Planes ](#) [Image](#) [Image](#) Photo By Brandon Kwon-Venice Jelani Aryeh - “Stella Brown” Jelani Aryeh is a 19-year-old artist from San Diego, and his 2019 EP Helvetica was one of the year’s best. Aryeh is an artist who—like so many other young creatives—is still evolving. He’s experimented with psychedelic sounds and hip-hop flavors, but while making “Stella Brown” he was more inspired by indie rock and artists from decades past. It’s his most upbeat and straightforward song yet, and it might also be his best. Dark times call for some moments of relief, and the bounce of “Stella Brown” is helping us cope right now.

Medhane has a lot to say, but he's not going to shove it in your face with over-the-top deliveries or generic beats, instead encouraging listeners to come into his world and really concentrate on what's being said. Medhane told us that there’s a lot more for 2020 too, namely "a full length project coming this summer, tons of videos and merch on the way as well."

He encouraged her to take up piano, but she started on violin before picking up the guitar. Also like many artists, she first got comfortable sharing that music through SoundCloud. "I had all these singles and I just wanted a place to put them," she explains. On March 27, Jordana will re-release some of those songs on her debut album Classical Notions of Happiness, but the project also hints at where things are going. "Crunch," an early favorite and one of the three newer songs added to the project, still has some of that no-frills approach from the early days, but it's a far cry from typical bedroom pop that shows potential but also puts limitations on display. Fuzzy guitar and cracking drums rile up a sense of urgency over a bassline that wouldn't be out of place on a Breeders' song.

The group is composed of producer/mixer Dominic "Dom" Pizano, rapper/singers Issac Pech, Tarrek Abdel-Khaliq, Joseph Barros, and creative director Jorge Olazaba. Influenced by music ranging from Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean to John Mayer and The Beatles, Peach Tree Rascals' sound is a seamless blend of genres, weaving patterns through dreamy pop, jazz, funk, and rap without ever losing cohesiveness or clarity. Many of the group are second generation Americans with parents who immigrated from Mexico, the Philippines, and Palestine, and their DIY spirit and unbounded creativity has propelled them from their start in 2018 to millions of streams and a recent label deal with 10K Projects. Their videos are as impressive as their music, with a clear Peach Tree Rascals aesthetic of bright colors, warm tones, and a compelling collective energy.
