Vallis Alps, an Australia electronic duo, has announce dates for their Fable Tour to help support their upcoming album EP Fable. Parissa Tosif and David Ansari create the soundscapes for Vallis Alps. Their latest track 'Fading' relaxing and chill music to wind down at the end of the day. The electronic music fade of using a female vocalist mix with an electronic beat is getting old fast. This band, and several acts like The Chainsmokers, Flume and ZEDD have had radio success, but it wasn't because the music had depth, it has more to do with the easy to consume nature of music.

NPR All Songs Considered noted: Rubblebucket took inspiration from a Dalai Lama quote for this track: "Our enemies are our greatest teachers." Looking to replace fear with compassion to create hope for the country, the song is about forgiveness. "If U C My Enemies" is from Rubblebucket's EP of the same name,
