Described as rock and roll cowboy meets indie pop, the two, who are originally from Northwest Montana, use their long-standing relationship as friends and creative partners to craft a sound which is both authentic and captivating.<br /><br />Their upcoming EP is a result of Surprise Baby refusing to be pigeon-holed and see’s the two exploring a realm of different genres and sounds. Following the release of their debut single “Poison the Well,” “Motorcycle” is the second track from the EP and details a commentary on the feeling of escapism. It is a mostly fictional narrative on the desire to escape a relationship, specifically on a motorcycle heading to New York. Noice shares, “Call it a quarter life crisis, call it fear of commitment, the feeling is that of running away. There is also a sentiment of not wanting your partner to worry over you, and making the unrealistic promise that you won't die on the road. The fact that the narrator believes so deeply they won't die while simultaneously desiring to be as close to danger as possible is the irony of the song itself.”<br /><br />“Motorcycle” shimmers with muted, jangly guitars, mellow melodies and celestial harmonies, creating an iridescent soundscape that you can truly lose yourself within. Not afraid to speak her truth, Noice shares how she uses songwriting as a way to process her internal world and give intense emotions a way out of her body. She shares, “I try to create imagery that accurately captures a specific feeling and then allow myself to build lyrics in an abstract way, opposed to straightforward storytelling. This I hope leaves the songs open to the listeners’ interpretation.”</span><br /><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uHkaWV_A7WE?si=zkyVuGdKPj88G1E_" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxwvCPaA6jmCwgnKPlJpAgueqnFcDtPXk9V_S2xCgpE_2PXaEiisxHMomeN1QTE-j3s3-IUZxSOyf23pIMjFctX-fYk6MiOBsRC9aEd7ndxibgROu_2iEX5LFtUp0RtL84A4tv8wz27j_zDR5H6JZI_e4Ux_A1Sg5bgAzGxM80VMXj933W9jJPVvyIWq4/s640/pen%20pin.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxwvCPaA6jmCwgnKPlJpAgueqnFcDtPXk9V_S2xCgpE_2PXaEiisxHMomeN1QTE-j3s3-IUZxSOyf23pIMjFctX-fYk6MiOBsRC9aEd7ndxibgROu_2iEX5LFtUp0RtL84A4tv8wz27j_zDR5H6JZI_e4Ux_A1Sg5bgAzGxM80VMXj933W9jJPVvyIWq4/s320/pen%20pin.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Pen Pin</span></b> - Fringe.<br /><br />Pen Pin is the new sun-soaked indie pop project from songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Jeni Magana and Emily Moore. Both established musicians in their own right, they met while touring with Mitski and started writing and recording their debut album whenever they weren't on the road. The result of their "pen pinspiration" has become a chill, vintage pop album that sounds and feels like lounging by a Palm Desert pool when the afternoon becomes the dusk.<br /><br />The whole process of self-producing these songs has captured a moment of inspiration and a joyous collaboration between friends. The LP entitled Pony Up is about these feelings: the spark of inspiration, holding onto happiness, and friendship.<br /><br />Pen Pin's single "Fringe" details capturing a moment in a relationship that is pure joy and recalling that feeling when times get tough. The breezy track features golden-hued vocals, dreamy melodies and nostalgic piano, creating a warm and cathartic musical moment. Designed to bring you company on your evening walks through the park, Pony Up is set to be released Spring, 2024.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xnjABNtn5e8?si=M7LBccq3a3qhiTxc" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeCK4e38KdGTLbyV58W1CCnYyWuBhh7UGiznMdOm4Fw2kkxNKE5QPACt8MHtDWLDLt24CGsnjTXwUW3YUKmK8W7V0L91GMsNG4jQqJeIbPN6HVLdwG8Z07LqM9Wj4-23swrMXW63jsIobg3Q81QbkUJwHdg0R_-OM-4wUcD5Opz7YAs7Y9U5MELt-PFc/s12000/Ben%20Wildenhaus%20%E2%80%A2%20Promo%20Image%202023%20%E2%80%A2%204.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="9012" data-original-width="12000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeCK4e38KdGTLbyV58W1CCnYyWuBhh7UGiznMdOm4Fw2kkxNKE5QPACt8MHtDWLDLt24CGsnjTXwUW3YUKmK8W7V0L91GMsNG4jQqJeIbPN6HVLdwG8Z07LqM9Wj4-23swrMXW63jsIobg3Q81QbkUJwHdg0R_-OM-4wUcD5Opz7YAs7Y9U5MELt-PFc/s320/Ben%20Wildenhaus%20%E2%80%A2%20Promo%20Image%202023%20%E2%80%A2%204.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Von Wildenhaus</span></b> - Ketamine.<br /><br />Apocalyptic avant-pop artist Von Wildenhaus has shared new single “Ketamine”, ahead of a UK tour across September. In lieu of a traditional album release the artist is issuing an extended series of singles across the coming months, culminating in a new compilation ‘Von Universe’, which will be available exclusively at the UK shows.<br /><br />A spacious, sublime offering that sees Von Wildenhaus fuse alchemistic rhythms and airy instrumentals with celestial vocal delivery and a cavernously clean approach to production, “Ketamine” is the sixth track to be taken from the artist’s forthcoming compilation.<br /><br />Evoking a feeling that is as fragile as it faraway, Ben von Wildenhaus explains of the new track: ”Ketamine” embodies the feeling of dissociation that overwhelms when you separate from someone you love. We often play this as spacey folk, but here we really wanted to take it into the realm of ethereal ‘80s pop — that crisp digital world full of inorganic heartbreak.”</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5dXgiZ-JxKI?si=KXl8evqOM5v5bu8i" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-13197592294854414852023-08-29T20:05:00.000+01:002023-08-29T20:05:11.193+01:00The Artist Formally Known as Vince Band - Ashton Nyte - Shadwick Wilde <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO1ygznaeDjIO7aDntCvhPnjtZWpxoojjMaY_8zVzrWxurnja_4x1pw0FdrO8JE9S01XxBwbXYLsSRsY0tt4HiWEyafFq-yonzN7a3IEAmqgpby4e9d0zRdyzfij59OUNm124DJIH4XK0St2KOGSxhgD87HrQfmZiu3V_j4NRM-7WTSGYDThx-18bJQaI/s2048/TAFKAVB.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1364" data-original-width="2048" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO1ygznaeDjIO7aDntCvhPnjtZWpxoojjMaY_8zVzrWxurnja_4x1pw0FdrO8JE9S01XxBwbXYLsSRsY0tt4HiWEyafFq-yonzN7a3IEAmqgpby4e9d0zRdyzfij59OUNm124DJIH4XK0St2KOGSxhgD87HrQfmZiu3V_j4NRM-7WTSGYDThx-18bJQaI/s320/TAFKAVB.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Artist Formally Known as Vince Band</span></b> - A Problematic Opera (E.P).<br /><br />This one came out back in May but escaped our radar at the time, anyway it's never to late for some robust 'recent' new music when it's this good!

She can do just about anything that requires a great deal of fine motor skills. We had both been imagining the paper boat playing a lead role, but the rest was all her. The theme of water comes back a lot on this record. While writing and demoing “Forever Home”, before it had a proper title, I had jokingly titled it “Waterworld” after the behemoth film that almost ruined Kevin Costner.<br /><br />The parallels are difficult to ignore: both he and I nearly bankrupted ourselves to bring our apocalyptic visions into reality. I have been thinking and writing a lot about water these past few years; how Heraclitus said we can never step into the same river twice… both the human and the river being in a constant state of flux. Our bodies have roughly the same salinity as the ocean, the source of all life on Earth.<br /><br />I learned a lot of letting go, in the process of making this record. We all are in this river of time, everchanging. All we can do is row, row our little boat, gently down the stream– making small adjustments to our course, but ultimately heading toward the same destination: the ocean that is eternity, the infinite vastness of the cosmos. When the waves of this life come and knock us down, we have a tendency to forget that, we too are the ocean, and that in fact everything does come in waves." - Shadwick Wilde, on "Floating Away" and its video.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SUkeKPQZ2x0?si=k2ua5L6BSW_cCGmk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-68411012476778223872023-08-28T20:39:00.000+01:002023-08-28T20:39:19.876+01:00Daniel Walton - Thrillhouse - Ghost Party <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4ACPFXRQ8hNI_rK1wRhr8h874PafJQV_X50jPjOJZ5iVKtLk9Jts_Yu7KQkploBXTem2M-XKNm-GHEzsAZ7zUsYI2YzRVXQV50FyX4XKyq6eMlIQhPsylLWQ2jPOb9nOMax7UHhFhbECouLhY0omXa9J0A-JCfpszixdMsTpVl-S0idiyWcJTabVzBg/s8000/daneil%20w.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5333" data-original-width="8000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4ACPFXRQ8hNI_rK1wRhr8h874PafJQV_X50jPjOJZ5iVKtLk9Jts_Yu7KQkploBXTem2M-XKNm-GHEzsAZ7zUsYI2YzRVXQV50FyX4XKyq6eMlIQhPsylLWQ2jPOb9nOMax7UHhFhbECouLhY0omXa9J0A-JCfpszixdMsTpVl-S0idiyWcJTabVzBg/s320/daneil%20w.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Daniel Walton</span></b> - Through The Glass.<br /><br />An endless need for self expression has helped songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Walton focus on his creative vision as an independent artist to write and produce his debut EP titled Island: a beautiful, heartfelt collection of songs about love, loss and change.<br /><br />The 28-year-old from Hamilton, ON has been involved in a handful of collaborative original bands spanning many genres (Wooly Mantis, Downstream) but “Island” is the first of many projects that are from the mind of Walton as a solo act. Being able to have full creative freedom has allowed Walton to find his voice in the songwriter space.<br /><br />Reminiscent of the Laurel Canyon era of folk and singer-songwriter with a genre-blending modernism, Walton’s latest single “Through The Glass” is a drift inspiring transportive listen.<br /><br />About his songwriting intent: “My goal with songwriting is to take the listener on some kind of journey, whether it may be from lyrics, music or both. To take the listener out of the present moment and into a place that feels familiar, yet new and exciting. A place that is comfortable, where the listener does not feel alone and can drift away in peace.”</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rKwOyg9yALc?si=jQ12URaXpYQAEf7l" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl79yOytX-jfpV8quexlo9azTbLFtMYIIWGPX5q1_Gh03oxxCr8R6jWSnLRh1D8bfZ3cHsivI9VJJSx1xbdh4lhOHHgbBO0u9NmphVA1XtfElCfKA9QksS8unvwBULjOypaMvk9a060oIrOcHmrLIXI65Ya2-Fr-OW6cP2QF3r4oz33XCsYyjHHT7fl4A/s1600/thrillhouse.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl79yOytX-jfpV8quexlo9azTbLFtMYIIWGPX5q1_Gh03oxxCr8R6jWSnLRh1D8bfZ3cHsivI9VJJSx1xbdh4lhOHHgbBO0u9NmphVA1XtfElCfKA9QksS8unvwBULjOypaMvk9a060oIrOcHmrLIXI65Ya2-Fr-OW6cP2QF3r4oz33XCsYyjHHT7fl4A/s320/thrillhouse.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Thrillhouse</span></b> - Big Tree.<br /><br />Brighton duo Thrillhouse, release the intimate yet expansive new album Something About This Place, with the lead track ‘Big Tree’.<br /><br />Showcasing their electrifying Alternative-Indie-come-Alternative-Country tendencies, the album further delivers on the unique sonic approach which has seen the band garner widespread acclaim from musical luminaries such as KEXP, Radio X (John Kennedy), and BBC Introducing. The brainchild of duo Sam Strawberry and Jack Nielsen, Thrillhouse gained their name as a humorous and nostalgic nod to an old Simpsons episode, but digging a little deeper, the name also evokes the yearning of being stuck in an increasingly bleak present whilst being rooted in a fragmented and pretend past.<br /><br />Now releasing their hotly anticipated debut album 'Something About This Place', the band describe the 11 track release as: “A hark back to childhood - to simpler times, before ambition, failure and regret wrapped us up with our dreams and tossed us crashing back down to Earth.”<br /><br />Capturing a melancholic sincerity tinged with wry humour within the captivating lyricism, the band's stylistic sound shines across the album. Heartfelt and honest vocal delivery comparable to Matt Berninger glides above intricate musical backdrops of driving drums, warming, intertwining guitar tones, sparkling synths and melodic hooks to create spellbinding, genre-bending soundscapes. Comparable to The National, Nick Cave and The War On Drugs, Thrillhouse boldly challenges the boundaries of contemporary Indie music with a post-punk flare and alternative undertones.<br /><br />The new lead track ‘Big Tree’ is a perfect representation of the band's approach, blending melancholic beauty with intricate musical ideas and an underlying sense of driving energy.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/imhZnvXxN_Q?si=7qyc6YFIzUAOrJUc" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx9US_60n_HN5sYhr3bVcls3IJtaqKlHRyuv4RtfrAxojcTJ8BI8ehSWlwMVd402WBK0MPrzmTIxGE3p-EhtLv5afIDwbfsrUu_HjRDz2DzNMOGovkg9nltHCk81kGCuIL9xb0QqAR0nos0INgMAcJOyK8ZcdycHWAIPTO5nyGHlCpQyD86cbA5Zteayo/s3600/reaper.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3600" data-original-width="3600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx9US_60n_HN5sYhr3bVcls3IJtaqKlHRyuv4RtfrAxojcTJ8BI8ehSWlwMVd402WBK0MPrzmTIxGE3p-EhtLv5afIDwbfsrUu_HjRDz2DzNMOGovkg9nltHCk81kGCuIL9xb0QqAR0nos0INgMAcJOyK8ZcdycHWAIPTO5nyGHlCpQyD86cbA5Zteayo/s320/reaper.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ghost Party </span></b>- Yankee Reaper.<br /><br />"Yankee Reaper'' borrows its name from a Van Dyke Parks album, conveys a sense of nostalgia and loss through the guise of the surreal, and is treated with a vintage sounding gospel stomp arrangement, where barrelhouse piano, soaring pedal steel, fuzzed out guitar, and hand claps all create a ruckus, supported by the pulse of a finger picked acoustic guitar. Evocative of a psychedelic tent revival, "Yankee Reaper" suggests some sort of cosmic mashup between T.Rex and the White Album sessions. Ghost Party is joined by pedal steel master Will Van Horn, notable for his contributions to Khruangbin and Leon Bridges' latest collaborative EPs.<br /><br />Ghost Party is the nostalgic, retro psych revival project of McCullough Ferguson. Mixing the ingredients of classic acts from the golden era of 60s psych and Americana music with modern interpreters as well a adding a bit of the subliminal sublime, spooky nature of the great beyond, we arrive at the Ghost Party.<br /><br />Part garage rock, part cosmic country, part psych, Ghost Party came into existence in Houston Texas in 2020. As half of psychedelic rock tricksters Flower Graves, Ferguson has shared the stage with Roky Erickson, Night Beats, Holy Wave, and many more.<br /><br />Ferguson is joined by Austin Sepulvado, Victor Sanchez, and Kendrick Ballard on bass, drums, and organ/keys/mellotron, respectively. They have released two singles in 2023, tracked and produced by Steve Christensen, notable for his production work with Khruangbin. Ghost Party will be releasing their first full length album this fall and will be appearing at River Revival alongside The Black Angels.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ASaRx6xxxpE?si=IBj0P7AGWOjg_7j6" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-27543115451184728192023-08-27T19:33:00.000+01:002023-08-27T19:33:15.280+01:00Zach Berkman - Fast Romantics - Georgia Mooney - Bedolina <p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVJlg_GPP-a6JWAJTPC83veTR91tdvY8yOVOGz7uja6oafVTvS51OivBiaJQUlv1EV7BxfV6UlzvVOka_d4wbqkj7xXMtOMU0DCLcjRSDEcp1wZJ_hhbbeZU8IqkpSJke2MFASDpgIxNnyltLwpzCkTngmAtaI0ELwE50mYmVNZpIrG7DA-acKbC2Dcok/s1200/zach%20berkman%20(Nicole%20Mago).jpeg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVJlg_GPP-a6JWAJTPC83veTR91tdvY8yOVOGz7uja6oafVTvS51OivBiaJQUlv1EV7BxfV6UlzvVOka_d4wbqkj7xXMtOMU0DCLcjRSDEcp1wZJ_hhbbeZU8IqkpSJke2MFASDpgIxNnyltLwpzCkTngmAtaI0ELwE50mYmVNZpIrG7DA-acKbC2Dcok/s320/zach%20berkman%20(Nicole%20Mago).jpeg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Nicole Mago<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Zach Berkman</span></b> - Alone.<br /><br />Zach wrote "Alone" at the beginning of the end of a relationship, just when he knew he could feel something slipping away. "The verses describe a crumbling house as a metaphor for a crumbling love. The crooked pictures and fading marks of a thing untended," he says. "I thought about my grandparent’s old farmhouse where we made these recordings, left dusty and in disrepair for so long then restored and renewed, and I wondered whether you could do that with people.<br /><br />I know that when I wrote the song, the chorus was meant to be sung to someone else. It’s all in the second person, but I hear and sing those lyrics now as directed to self. The repeats of the title are at once mantra, warning, and a facing of fear. If we can’t reconcile our differences, we will end up Alone."<br /><br />A renowned songwriter whose compositions have been featured on ABC, NBC, The CW, Nickelodeon, The Travel Channel, and more, Zach had found himself at a crossroads artistically. He enlisted his inner circle to help him flesh out what would be his ninth LP, The Heart Of. Recorded over four days in his family's rejuvenated farmhouse in rural Michigan, these songs, which began as a quest for answers, became a beautiful celebration of the journey itself. It's a fantastic listen.</span><br /><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9PiuIwotVI4?si=YMI2X1a4YeeJxIKS" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia7x9R3byx9HEGg2pyc_aszqGXc4HZ0TBK5N6Ohf9AZ4VpZav1rAVi3TkhHC0XSaWW9f0KjnOW-Z23CAGujYqocuuSIpCr1d2qsdpzpJO-UcAh7v_-mmPQyztXlSk7A0Zh7ryyu5nvTQX5qOHOZYyBRW8U3Y4hBIE5D5cQN542_jWrf8MsQAuVXEtFhyo/s4084/FastRomantics_SmokeMainJenSquires.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2723" data-original-width="4084" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia7x9R3byx9HEGg2pyc_aszqGXc4HZ0TBK5N6Ohf9AZ4VpZav1rAVi3TkhHC0XSaWW9f0KjnOW-Z23CAGujYqocuuSIpCr1d2qsdpzpJO-UcAh7v_-mmPQyztXlSk7A0Zh7ryyu5nvTQX5qOHOZYyBRW8U3Y4hBIE5D5cQN542_jWrf8MsQAuVXEtFhyo/s320/FastRomantics_SmokeMainJenSquires.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Jen Squires<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Fast Romantics</span></b> - Smoke + Lightning.<br /><br />Toronto duo Fast Romantics offer up another provocative new single and video, “Smoke + Lightning,” taken from their new album, Happiness + Euphoria, scheduled to be released September 29 via Postwar Records.<br /><br />Fast Romantics never shy away from exploring the complicated or the contemplative. Kirty takes the lead on “Smoke + Lightning” with her ethereal vocals, and offers this insight on the track: "‘Smoke + Lightning’ was written during a time that I felt like I was being swallowed up in the most vivid dreams every night. It started to blur my waking hours with a twisted, colourful dream-life in my sleeping hours. This song is filled with stream-of-consciousness words and images that made up those dreams.”<br /><br />Fast Romantics have built a reputation as tenacious musical adventurers, working their way up the mountain of classic pop songwriting, eager to carve out a piece of it for themselves. Matthew Angus and Kirty - partners on and off stage, are bringing F.R. fans, ten sprawling new songs, masterfully crafted and equally and intentionally split into two distinct sides this fall.</span><br /><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xx2rOSWO9pc?si=qMjDj_Ny2tjUKyYY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIgVLVyFqUQ_4kWCvbzJ7ie4fE8VqgR9y39iox0pPmUwZgyf-i9L477RIq6V_Zgj-gjS-MW9nWDRS_MD03tepETiIBM1cRJ7RuuUNZ-W_-zyx5PZzW9pVvj1th731j52iU7UsFJvEYHxxRlcTmhCX2lLf53Lfl_RMVWTfarMwCOBfNOXlMHC0zPzHw688/s2784/Georgia%20Mooney_Press%20Photo%20(by%20Cybele%20Malinowski)%20(1).jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2666" data-original-width="2784" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIgVLVyFqUQ_4kWCvbzJ7ie4fE8VqgR9y39iox0pPmUwZgyf-i9L477RIq6V_Zgj-gjS-MW9nWDRS_MD03tepETiIBM1cRJ7RuuUNZ-W_-zyx5PZzW9pVvj1th731j52iU7UsFJvEYHxxRlcTmhCX2lLf53Lfl_RMVWTfarMwCOBfNOXlMHC0zPzHw688/s320/Georgia%20Mooney_Press%20Photo%20(by%20Cybele%20Malinowski)%20(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Cybele Malinowski<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Georgia Mooney</span></b> - Full of Moon (Album).<br /><br />Sydney-based polymath Georgia Mooney has just unveiled her stunning debut solo album ‘Full of Moon’. The record is a meticulously crafted sonic universe, the birth of which marks the stepping forward of a major talent. Carried by Mooney’s soaring ethereal voice over lush, cinematic soundscapes, Full of Moon features the singles ‘War Romance’, ‘Break It Off’, ‘I Am Not In A Hurry’, ‘Soothe You’ and ‘Nothing Is Forever. “Go look at your eyes, they’re full of moon” - Joni Mitchell<br /><br />This album is for daydreaming. Lyrically, it yearns for connection, examining intimate human relationships, and their variations in perception and fantasy. When stories have many sides, they also have many truths. Musically, it’s a glorious and cinematic sonic fresco, holding beauty, musicality and romance in highest regard. It was recorded remotely over 18 of the strangest months in living memory, linking an all-star band based across three continents. The album grew outward in response to the physical world closing in; even the more intimate songs luxuriate in their drama.<br /><br />Full of Moon’s songs were penned between All Our Exes Live in Texas tours, on solo writing trips all over the world, half on piano and half on a handmade dulcimer Mooney won in a raffle and subsequently fell in love with. Influences from every member of the Wainwright family, Joni Mitchell, the sophistication of the Great American Songbook and even classical composers sift through the songs seamlessly, alongside fuzzed out guitars and production that evokes the unsettling genius of Kate Bush. It was made during a period of global tragedy, as a way to find solace and catharsis in art and love. This record seeks someone to spend the end of the world with.</span><br /><p></p><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1663284439&color=%23a1512c&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe><div style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Interstate, Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Garuda, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: 100; line-break: anywhere; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; word-break: normal;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/georgiamooney" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Georgia Mooney">Georgia Mooney</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/georgiamooney/sets/full-of-moon-2" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Full of Moon">Full of Moon</a></div><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAViqoUyCat7qyCep5idFrCPo7bH5REeYPgX0n8NRdYvcUHGMv0DBwioO8uoiuNOiQbTeT3wQgl6iAE5zVKsEF28f7yCfW8CuG_eGt9i5RrDyBblfPgRgwTSkh_es_3LqYPdBJXsyAXqm8clxc1kH08JgGfVW9rCZrNbf4fc8o7s7MtjD6EsUOTptO754/s2000/Bedolina%20-%20Self-titled.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAViqoUyCat7qyCep5idFrCPo7bH5REeYPgX0n8NRdYvcUHGMv0DBwioO8uoiuNOiQbTeT3wQgl6iAE5zVKsEF28f7yCfW8CuG_eGt9i5RrDyBblfPgRgwTSkh_es_3LqYPdBJXsyAXqm8clxc1kH08JgGfVW9rCZrNbf4fc8o7s7MtjD6EsUOTptO754/s320/Bedolina%20-%20Self-titled.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Bedolina</span></b> - Bedolina (Album).<br /><br />Bedolina are thrilled to share their self-released debut album, Bedolina. Developed at Miner Street Recordings, the album dissects society’s greatest imperfections and their effects on human nature, all with a crooked smile.<br /><br />Philadelphia’s own Ken Gould is the heart and brain behind sleek new indie rockers, Bedolina. Debuting after previous singles “Yellow Boat” and “C’mon Fun”, Bedolina continues to test the limits of conventional pop music. With jackhammer beats and smooth guitar solos that flow effervescently throughout, the record’s eight tracks each tell a unique story.<br /><br />Altogether, Bedolina is an abstract musical cornucopia that channels the listener to ponder the faultiness of the digital age. Centerpieces of the album are “Cicadas” and “The Zoo”, with the former charging into a snapping drum beat with atmospheric sweeps in the background. About halfway through the track, Gould laments “This year’s gone so wrong”, allowing the listener to question what begins as a triumphant, happy-go-lucky sounding tune. Then there’s “The Zoo”, who’s purposely out of tune third chord creates an eerie sense of dissonance, further pulling the audience towards an unsettling atmosphere. Here, the crude message of human beings acting animalistic is put on display, building up to a shocking climax of shrieking and a nasal guitar tone that sounds like a hornet’s nest.<br /><br />Another album highlight is the final track, “Taking the Canyon”, a saturated bass-heavy dance track that invokes classic shoegaze guitar motifs of My Bloody Valentine. The repeated refrain “Boots marching in a line” showcases the narrator’s disdain for fascist dystopia as it cascades its way into a final minute of drone-like noise. Ending the album on a just as surprising note as it begins, Bedolina show that although this is their debut, their musical gusto and expertise couldn’t be clearer.</span><br /><p><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=581765746/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e99708/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://bedolina.bandcamp.com/album/bedolina">Bedolina by Bedolina</a></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-73683109024414768992023-08-25T20:27:00.000+01:002023-08-25T20:27:02.234+01:00Lilac Haze - Arielle Silver - Survival Guide - Cara Hammond <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrT1iMoxmFPftOrMSKsmMrFhfWR2Sq3hByIxzMRpigNIFQshkWbmDJy-xwSH5IH40WKxryjSfGdwBukKYfLdJSbLnL5eXyezE-65GHQNPYRn14W9qYUJjcIQKWd_0BJ3U_8W3sk8EW2uvTCyUqQzpz0j2WmdJyJoKKKJqTGmZi2M2Wrr8VDLi-P30z1S0/s5216/Lilac%20Haze%20Promo%20Shot.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3477" data-original-width="5216" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrT1iMoxmFPftOrMSKsmMrFhfWR2Sq3hByIxzMRpigNIFQshkWbmDJy-xwSH5IH40WKxryjSfGdwBukKYfLdJSbLnL5eXyezE-65GHQNPYRn14W9qYUJjcIQKWd_0BJ3U_8W3sk8EW2uvTCyUqQzpz0j2WmdJyJoKKKJqTGmZi2M2Wrr8VDLi-P30z1S0/s320/Lilac%20Haze%20Promo%20Shot.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Lilac Haze</span></b> - Daisy Girl.<br /><br />'Daisy Girl', is the stunning new single from dream pop artist Lilac Haze, released today, taken from her upcoming debut EP due later this year.<br /><br />Lilac Haze is the project name for songwriter Katrina Swift.

I wrote this song with the idea of pursuing new relationships with an open heart without letting fear paralyse an opportunity for happiness. We had a great time experimenting with different guitar sounds for this track, and had fun creating this sweet treat.”<br /></span><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vTk3LrDEuqM?si=DKNcGw13IXphr4Tw" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhDUqOSsoEzfMBFZYAgHSg1jfDkCYbfR8BfAWoS1RhkOUvvOvvvkhLml6zixdVPOZPZOXaY-5117axmfsw4RVt_HYRqAluyvFpQy7gD89Yo9Q_DGMGMK9y1sN3dnCYTM7gOv1IYZKrS1OZBwZ-W2lBpB8Ilf26UqJvPPDlo2XA5klA_e_ROijtqSQRgzs/s9504/Arielle%20Silver%20horiz%20-%20by%20Anabel%20DFlux.jpeg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6336" data-original-width="9504" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhDUqOSsoEzfMBFZYAgHSg1jfDkCYbfR8BfAWoS1RhkOUvvOvvvkhLml6zixdVPOZPZOXaY-5117axmfsw4RVt_HYRqAluyvFpQy7gD89Yo9Q_DGMGMK9y1sN3dnCYTM7gOv1IYZKrS1OZBwZ-W2lBpB8Ilf26UqJvPPDlo2XA5klA_e_ROijtqSQRgzs/s320/Arielle%20Silver%20horiz%20-%20by%20Anabel%20DFlux.jpeg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Anabel DFlux<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Arielle Silver</span></b> - Ghost Ships.<br /><br />Much of Arielle's music finds inspiration in the stories she's writing and reading as a literary writer and professor of creative writing at Antioch University, and in the various philosophies she explores as a yoga and meditation instructor at her own Bhavana Flow Studio in Los Angeles.<br /><br />"A lot of songwriters start by writing the chorus, because from an audience standpoint, that's the part that should stick in the ears," says Arielle when describing her writing and creative processes. "But I typically begin with writing verses in order to dig into the sensory-perceiving portion of a story. I typically enter songwriting (and my other creative writing) by describing setting, character, place in order to present a situation."<br /><br />A literary mind who cites inspiration in writers like Cheryl Strayed, Jane Austen, Jeanette Winterson, and Mary Oliver (to name a few), Arielle's lyrics read like moving self-contained stories, and are further elevated by her stunning instrumental and vocal performances. “Ghost Ships” is a perfect example of this approach.

These are all descriptors that fit various songs on the album as well, so it seemed like the right title for the collection.”<br /><br />"Lady Neptune" is the second single (following "Blood Perfume") off deathdreams and Em says the lyrics for the track are based on a dream she had where she had died, "It involved a chaotic battlefield where people were fighting and killing each other, and somehow, I knew that if I drowned myself, I’d come back to life and emerge from the water with the power to make the fighting stop."<br /><br />A former Northern California native now residing in San Antonio, Texas, Emily is an electronic indie-pop artist with a background in punk. Her music obsession began with Green Day, leading her to a dreams-come-true life of punk rock as she traversed continents fronting the band Tsunami Bomb as “Agent M.” Over the years, her music gradually shifted toward synth pop in The Action Design, then further into the electronic indie-pop realm as Survival Guide. Her danceable tunes evoke a sonic birthday cake: alternating layers of Depeche Mode, Metric, Peter Gabriel, and Grimes, with vibrant melodies and vocals as the icing on top. “Music is crucial to my survival,” she says wholeheartedly, adding, “Survival Guide is one woman trying to shape her own place in this world as a musician."</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a3ZJnBw3-N8?si=gaaXbCeRawkh5ak2" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilG7XLibY_ynCAALgQP0wVwO48_yPtg99kjuLjXHzSG2JEwcB0-LHwPAsnWznF7Z0pos-6iSXkYIYANAKzCQD_thqIEKRO5nKigACcANpiyLRJncYvsCLML138TK3gCy66eqdON4Nvoz8Te4x3aIo27Y_TcH8ozjG6AQjOSBm7qxo0PcPOLsyccM4eF3E/s2048/cara%20h.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1348" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilG7XLibY_ynCAALgQP0wVwO48_yPtg99kjuLjXHzSG2JEwcB0-LHwPAsnWznF7Z0pos-6iSXkYIYANAKzCQD_thqIEKRO5nKigACcANpiyLRJncYvsCLML138TK3gCy66eqdON4Nvoz8Te4x3aIo27Y_TcH8ozjG6AQjOSBm7qxo0PcPOLsyccM4eF3E/s320/cara%20h.jpeg" width="211" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Cara Hammond</span></b> - America.<br /><br />Welsh Based Artist Cara Hammond has unveiled a new video for acclaimed new single 'America' and announced her Debut UK Tour which will be in November.

Headed by Andrya Ambro (Talk Normal), the art-rock project's full album will be out October 20th via Liars' Angus Andrew's new imprint No Gold.<br /><br />Featuring Ian Douglas-Moore on bass and Jeff Tobias on alto-sax, the instrumentation on "Denise" is deeply intricate, sharp, and rigorous. Along with the single comes a video co-directed by Joe Wakeman and Ambro herself. As unflinching as the music itself, the video shows Ambro sprinting fearlessly towards the beach and into cold water.<br /><br />Regarding the music, Andrya Ambro says – “Denise” the song is about perseverance. Approaching most of my music from a cinematic perspective, Denise, the character, is on the bottom of things. With a weakened gaze, she just keeps going. No More Blue Skies? You gotta believe. The ZZ Top inspired repetitive rhythm section keeps Denise buoyant through her journey while the wailing sax by Jeff Tobias acts as her spiritual guide. As for the motivating drum beat– this was definitely under the influence of a charged live performance by Irreversible Entanglements drummer Tcheser Holmes."<br /><br />Regarding the video, directors Andrya Ambro and Joe Wakeman say – "From the onset, “Denise” feels like an endurance test with its always forward momentum. So I thought I’d run. Performing this song live can be demanding on me physically."<br /></span><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9unlPL0ShLM?si=RMlRS0y8H0Gu64nR" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpJTIMfjxDIdoNeD3rTCaV6tyYnw43qZKgLXLPrxXPI9PhJ6BOPpNTXAtxMbZlI7G-SbZvwKtgyrlvNTJwK8h12O_on-fi3gCm_qa7t-I_NZioBtz7weEorToC6FuxG71GC2Pj9EDnLHmp2zLXYn6Kyn8DSsoMoQOeSdysd_rzBOeEcT3uQCJtlFmBgR8/s1799/vera%20bloom.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpJTIMfjxDIdoNeD3rTCaV6tyYnw43qZKgLXLPrxXPI9PhJ6BOPpNTXAtxMbZlI7G-SbZvwKtgyrlvNTJwK8h12O_on-fi3gCm_qa7t-I_NZioBtz7weEorToC6FuxG71GC2Pj9EDnLHmp2zLXYn6Kyn8DSsoMoQOeSdysd_rzBOeEcT3uQCJtlFmBgR8/s320/vera%20bloom.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Vera Bloom</span></b> - Eyes On You.<br /><br />Emerging rock artist Vera Bloom, who holds nothing back in her addictive hybrid of alternative, grunge, and punk, has released her new single “Eyes On You” and announced her sophomore EP, It’s Me, will be out Friday, September 29th. The new track storms out of the gate on a galloping drumbeat and as the momentum increases, Vera sinks her teeth into a hypnotic hook punctuated by a promise, “my eyes are always on you.”<br /><br />“‘Eyes On You’ is my dance song!” shares Vera. “It started out as a love song, which is something I don’t really write often, but it leans into the possessiveness of love. It visits the loss of excitement in a relationship where things get a bit settled in and mundane. I’ve noticed that I am afraid of this stage in a relationship, so I used this song to process that. Over time, the lyrics have revealed new meanings as they always do and I can find the loss of childhood innocence where even the touch of skin is fascinating, and acknowledging the demons and darker feelings we find in adulthood.<br /><br />And, lastly, as I grow as an artist, I can see my desire to be seen and heard. My admission of wanting eyes on me and owning up to that. I wanted the video to be interesting, colorful, and also shine some light on the real rock and roll happening in the music. It’s about energy and making vibes through sound with other humans. This song, as with all my songs, really comes to life in a live band setting. I hope you like it!”</span><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GjLmRujkLI0?si=PVbuIBs1i9M65XPo" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjl8t8KOSr3LoUqLMlBUQIHATs3aoL3H60btFOU2rwmYhblnIyULmLEtFMLHA-06gHr8THig3XWtelUxAK-BoXWWgeMKAz-brt2SdOmmG4ZRoruap2uyPQiIRtRzvzd0NGpn0GVhueL6NDVz2qPSz5NApDTZfypPj0GMppYE9xF00Dkl1RSvR-5WMgpfI/s5100/OraCogan7_credStasiaGarraway.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3400" data-original-width="5100" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjl8t8KOSr3LoUqLMlBUQIHATs3aoL3H60btFOU2rwmYhblnIyULmLEtFMLHA-06gHr8THig3XWtelUxAK-BoXWWgeMKAz-brt2SdOmmG4ZRoruap2uyPQiIRtRzvzd0NGpn0GVhueL6NDVz2qPSz5NApDTZfypPj0GMppYE9xF00Dkl1RSvR-5WMgpfI/s320/OraCogan7_credStasiaGarraway.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ora Cogan</span></b> - Feel Life.<br /><br />Experimental singer-songwriter Ora Cogan will release her new album Formless this Friday, August 25, an LP that finds beauty, absurdity, humor, and unlikely joy in the bleakest of times. Ahead of the album release, Cogen shares one final gift in the urgent “Feel Life,” a track that dances through the derangement of everyday turmoil and epic, life-changing loss.<br /><br />Cormac Mac Diarmada from LANKUM plays strings on “Feel Life”, which speaks to diverse kinds of grief – losing loved ones to overdose and suicide; losing love where a connection can’t be sustained; seeking out ways to better understand love –, slashing, shimmering guitar both a foil for and echo of Cogan’s imploring, trance-like timbre. The track dances through the derangement of everyday turmoil and epic, life-changing loss. “I want you to feel life - I want love.”<br /><br />“Feel Life” is the final part of a trilogy of videos by K. Bray Jorstad created for Formless. It follows “Dyed”, which revolves around a singular character who carries water as a symbol for the human heart, and “Cowgirl”, a haunted acid trip of intense sorrow, deep solitude, and dark nights of the soul.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wEl2k6xyUKI?si=Zmh1CdejjSbokGX4" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-81850175112714972762023-08-22T19:35:00.000+01:002023-08-22T19:35:38.083+01:00CLOVES - Paige Hill - Linebeck - Popincourt <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mJkdrPL8amXqS82I6iYpCN3P7umqOuzZtabgnT9iGeP99JYOwVTmiDzMSfZ8yyRjC-zWIgh1UWTQbl_V77q71rtaqQQUonXgDjB0O_o445_gx_sIpRUES4ebdSCQxQKzscHdqGXf9iRiN4lY7HqeDX5YpBBkmH24aqW_t2_prZ6R-eIUvlzsH-yYkEc/s1600/cloves.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1061" data-original-width="1600" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mJkdrPL8amXqS82I6iYpCN3P7umqOuzZtabgnT9iGeP99JYOwVTmiDzMSfZ8yyRjC-zWIgh1UWTQbl_V77q71rtaqQQUonXgDjB0O_o445_gx_sIpRUES4ebdSCQxQKzscHdqGXf9iRiN4lY7HqeDX5YpBBkmH24aqW_t2_prZ6R-eIUvlzsH-yYkEc/s320/cloves.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">CLOVES</span></b> - Good Try.<br /><br />Talented songwriter CLOVES returns with her subtle yet hard-hitting new track titled “Good Try.” The track comes complete with a visualiser that is the perfect companion for the song’s poignant lyrics.<br /><br />Kaity Dunstan aka “CLOVES” born in Melbourne, Australia has to date generated over 300million-plus streams, attracted critical acclaim including Pigeons & Planes, i-D, Clash, NME, Vice & Consequence of Sound among many others, performed on U.S network show “Late night with Seth Myers”, toured the U.S opening for Grammy award winning artist Michael Kiwanuka,and her second album saw collaborations with Hudson Mohawke & Jake Portrait from Unknown Mortal Orchestra alongside multiple taste maker praise including her single “Nightmare” becoming BBC Radio 1’s “Hottest Record in the World ”the coveted spotalways seen as a high marker for quality artists.<br /><br />For CLOVES, now is the time she feels most creatively free and mentally strong as she steps out to release her first music independently, marking the beginning of a new relationship with herself and her music, in the midst of the often discussed & debated major label system for artists these days, CLOVES knows this is the best way forward for her make the music she wants and to do it the way she needs to.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lq-CtiIwr-A" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuFod94dVu98pXAhwjJX9f9xgakUvUABw1MH0cKZ3BX7KNJ6JkcfSZvUNfRAbO386hR0f6iQEBNc88Oh3mocY6osDR_h5B1wOuvTvyFRG1HTpFKBU6GgmufZ3OFqQ50Y9DN_RUhEwKQszpht04NjTYLUNtP-e8bNlGNIAm0gV95cyOfGlqIvbPsAkh-Rs/s2500/Paige.Hill.photo.2.by.@danimal2006.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="2500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuFod94dVu98pXAhwjJX9f9xgakUvUABw1MH0cKZ3BX7KNJ6JkcfSZvUNfRAbO386hR0f6iQEBNc88Oh3mocY6osDR_h5B1wOuvTvyFRG1HTpFKBU6GgmufZ3OFqQ50Y9DN_RUhEwKQszpht04NjTYLUNtP-e8bNlGNIAm0gV95cyOfGlqIvbPsAkh-Rs/s320/Paige.Hill.photo.2.by.@danimal2006.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Paige Hill</span></b> - Good Woman (E.P).<br /><br />Paige Hill is an independent singer and songwriter based in Dallas, Texas. She is an Austin native and "a bit west coast obsessed," living there for eight years prior to making Dallas her current location. Her music is about authentic connections to the best and most challenging parts of being a woman and a mother. Her recently released debut Americana five-song original EP, Good Woman, ranges from classic 70s country and soul to rock and blues.<br /><br />Every track weaves a story of a real woman who wants to be "good." Her soulful melodies also hint at her Austin roots. "I feel a special draw to sing songs for women and mothers that portray real and complex women. I used to think I'd have it all figured out someday, but we're all just learning and figuring it out together. I feel like music connects us, and I want to share a common thread we may have with someone."<br /><br />Good Woman was produced, engineered, and mixed by Guillermo Murillo and mastered by Greg Calbi and Steve Fallone of Sterling Sound. The EP was recorded at Acoustic Kitchen and The DuJour House in Dallas. The recording engineer was Nick Clem. Musicians on all tracks include Paige Hill (vocals), Guillermo Murillo (electric guitar), Robbie Saunders (pedal steel), Brandon Broussard (bass), Jay Brown (Wurlitzer, B3 organ, melodica), and Ethan Sedelmeier (drums.) "In the summer of 2022 I was asked to sing background vocals for a friend whose music career was taking off, then a duet.<br /><br />My producer Guillermo heard I wrote the music; the rest is history. It took us less than five months to make my EP, Good Woman. I had just lost a pregnancy, and making this music was healing. I stumbled upon a group of musicians who encouraged me that my songs had stories and experiences worth sharing with others. Guillermo and I co-write a lot together now while our daughters play in the next room, and he played guitar on Good Woman and is on my next album. I love his ear for sound, his music knowledge, his mixes, and how we co-write and realize my songs into beautiful works of art that I am so proud of. Ethan is the drummer on all my projects, as well. I trust these two to help me realize my music and treat it with care so that my original message is conveyed even more powerfully than I originally wrote. And we have so much fun doing it all."</span><br /><p><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=115220565/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e99708/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://paigehill.bandcamp.com/album/good-woman">Good Woman by Paige Hill</a></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcZorGeIDLtNjFot7_g8sfngU-KDQS2FfX2uq3RRx-MfTod2K9SH-iLdOEBLkOAYbWmUaYVfT48ulfYoNDs8DdS-bWBrkpbL4VYWBpXLYZsVqSwvy2DOsE8t0R98W_C1xfEtgrM8y1rtMeFJwIGE_LKE5V5xkf9P1XHqHY7Z-8IzuzmrLk-jmNcpbPqvw/s1350/linebeck.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcZorGeIDLtNjFot7_g8sfngU-KDQS2FfX2uq3RRx-MfTod2K9SH-iLdOEBLkOAYbWmUaYVfT48ulfYoNDs8DdS-bWBrkpbL4VYWBpXLYZsVqSwvy2DOsE8t0R98W_C1xfEtgrM8y1rtMeFJwIGE_LKE5V5xkf9P1XHqHY7Z-8IzuzmrLk-jmNcpbPqvw/s320/linebeck.png" width="256" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Linebeck</span></b> - Give Us A Try.<br /><br />'Give Us A Try' is a gorgeous hook filled affair, with an uplifting melodic vibe hitting us right from the opening chords. The band tell us: Our new single is about being in love with your best friend and deciding to just go for it, even though you might get hurt. Heavily inspired by John Hughes' Pretty in Pink, as well as some "situationships" that our friends were caught in, "Give Us A Try" was written as a love letter from Duckie to Andie, and for anyone else who has ever been too afraid to risk it all.<br /><br />Being in this in-between phase is an intense emotional roller-coaster. Honestly, I find the anticipation before a big jump to be one of the best parts of being human.<br /><br />I knew soon after writing this song that if we ever released it, I would want to have a prom themed music video as a way to pay further homage to Pretty in Pink.<br /><br />I personally think prom is so overrated. I went to two proms and it wasn't as fun as the movies always make it seem. We wanted to create a fun prom experience for all our friends. Many of the extras appreciated the opportunity to take their significant other to prom, and a few hadn't even had the chance to go to prom due to COVID. It was a very long shoot but so much fun.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kp2gujytWMU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXXiJ53-Nx64xVWVW_blPr2MYsj3ld_7hm0cObFiZEHL5Vw8KWtxq3BjupZcgnac5aGkwotwvLAspETSC7qjZGk30aWkTY3XyfNA0hax-iqtFEs49qBax9Gx6VrSuJSkFg1IcaNSb5so-U57vCBBjwIpNmqUH9j8do9yGM4MwCo59W1Ou9giDzmij7FBY/s1500/popincourt.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXXiJ53-Nx64xVWVW_blPr2MYsj3ld_7hm0cObFiZEHL5Vw8KWtxq3BjupZcgnac5aGkwotwvLAspETSC7qjZGk30aWkTY3XyfNA0hax-iqtFEs49qBax9Gx6VrSuJSkFg1IcaNSb5so-U57vCBBjwIpNmqUH9j8do9yGM4MwCo59W1Ou9giDzmij7FBY/s320/popincourt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Popincourt</span></b> - Love On the Barricades / The Worst Of Lullabies.<br /><br />Popincourt's new album 'We were bound to meet' is due to be released on September 15th, 2023. We have to really fine tracks to share ahead of the release.<br /><br />Love On the Barricades is a duo with Gabriela Giacoman, for a title inspired by both The Jam, Billy Bragg and the B'52s. The lyrics refer to the futility of angry political disputes when you are with well-meaning but essentially powerless people … especially while in complete safety around a good table (May as well enjoy yourself a bit while waiting for the revolution).<br /><br />The Worst Of Lullabies is a syncopated and groovy rhythm reminiscent of certain 60's titles by Serge Gainsbourg with superb string arrangements evoking John Barry.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KLexiWMq5X8" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CHMHMYBMHUs" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-37015254184895774902023-08-20T19:21:00.000+01:002023-08-20T19:21:14.961+01:00Tamar Berk - The Grahams - Stephen Wilson Jr - Jacob Weil <p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DWU-0GVK93Uyzkeaz55zumGqyhqkwI0cfgCGJd9C9Na-MWrm8xdMq4NyobGDkXY4CIg9j9MmrcwpIa7T-9LxEHGnZ5uboBfmha4sH74xRbQaw8C1XelPG2WXnzutBzMMqJkI8kyBuMLS7Yuo1TldefrooNqt1iFenEriAImpao6K6TZjXCeyUNC-dD0/s5184/Tamar%20Berk%20-%20Hillside%20Horizontal%20Press%20Photo%20-%20by%20Brandon%20Mosquera.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5184" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DWU-0GVK93Uyzkeaz55zumGqyhqkwI0cfgCGJd9C9Na-MWrm8xdMq4NyobGDkXY4CIg9j9MmrcwpIa7T-9LxEHGnZ5uboBfmha4sH74xRbQaw8C1XelPG2WXnzutBzMMqJkI8kyBuMLS7Yuo1TldefrooNqt1iFenEriAImpao6K6TZjXCeyUNC-dD0/s320/Tamar%20Berk%20-%20Hillside%20Horizontal%20Press%20Photo%20-%20by%20Brandon%20Mosquera.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Brandon Mosquera<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Tamar Berk</span></b> - tiny injuries (Album).<br /><br />Noted indie darling Tamar Berk is excited to unveil tiny injuries, her third solo album. The album itself follows singles “drop in the bucket” and “if u know, u know”. To celebrate the album’s release, Tamar Berk is also elated to share the music video for “cash out”, the album’s latest single. An array of emotions are explored throughout tiny injuries courtesy of songs that incorporate elements of indie pop, alternative rock, and singer-songwriter slow burns.<br /><br />Lead single "drop in the bucket" shows the evolution of emotions over time in a relationship. Alternative rock and indie pop are cleverly blended to create a fun and energetic sound. With its engrossing guitar and assertive vocals, this song evokes Liz Phair and Snail Mail with its wistful synth and pulsing guitar. The second single "If you know, you know" uses Tamar Berk's passion to explore existential crisis caused by loss, reminiscent of Soccer Mommy and Aimee Mann. With latest single "cash out" Tamar Berk blends cinematic, guitar-driven alternative pop with indie folk flavor on a track that is captivating and soothing.<br /><br />When discussing her new single, Tamar Berk writes: “In the middle of moving my mother from her house to an apartment, I wrote the two sentences for "cash out" on one of those small airplane napkins. It had been a year since my father died, so I knew this would happen, but I wasn't prepared for the emotional devastation I would undergo during those two weeks. After packing up the house and going through all of my dad's belongings, I was absolutely crushed. With each passing day, I became more and more depressed and numb. The shock was still fresh in my mother's mind, but she was mostly angry and scared, and I was dealing with my own private hell. My next stop was to get home, so I took the little napkin they give you with your drink and I wrote "I've got no promises left in me, I'm getting ready to cash out." When I got home, I sat down at the piano and wrote it. As I had written it that day, I pretty much kept it the same.</span><br /><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_k0UAnyXXd79tpHBkr9xj0BL_0ffCz8n00" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b7S3Dh5-5qY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihlpEDNrqhqLdSTRM7e0VgfINhaLROs6gmmjFCyIw-aHagz9PcucbNXDbyHR1isJ383XlM-fvwy-0_NBUiyyLC1nZ8P6SIO94IAJ03PC_8gzdnaU2-k2H--GZ2rhrhpDm5nfQ_rQQai3Idte1QVXllJCS6mvs7KOEgB6hZTEBkaiEb5ozcISlMSDSJz1E/s9076/the%20grahams.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6051" data-original-width="9076" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihlpEDNrqhqLdSTRM7e0VgfINhaLROs6gmmjFCyIw-aHagz9PcucbNXDbyHR1isJ383XlM-fvwy-0_NBUiyyLC1nZ8P6SIO94IAJ03PC_8gzdnaU2-k2H--GZ2rhrhpDm5nfQ_rQQai3Idte1QVXllJCS6mvs7KOEgB6hZTEBkaiEb5ozcISlMSDSJz1E/s320/the%20grahams.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Grahams</span></b> - A Good Man.<br /><br />The Grahams have shared their new single “A Good Man,” which appears on the duo’s upcoming self-titled album, out September 8 via 3Sirens Music Group. Accompanied by a playful music video, “A Good Man” is a vulnerable reflection on the indelible impact of experiencing true love. The new single is one of ten reimaginings from The Grahams, which finds the duo revisiting fan favorites to reflect their artistic growth over the last decade.<br /><br />“‘A Good Man’ was never a question for this project,” shares Alyssa Graham, who is one half of The Grahams with Doug Graham. “I think people love it because it’s so honest. The reimagining plays up that naked honesty with a fresh layer of tenderness and playfulness — and less of its old twang.”<br /><br />“A Good Man” follows the anthemic “Glory Bound” and the serotonin-boosting “The Wild One,” which have been praised by Magnet Magazine, RIFF Magazine, The Alternate Root, Americana UK, Americana Music Association and more. The Grahams’ new self-titled album takes 10 songs from their catalog and pours them through a new filter – what they’ve learned, how they’ve changed, and perhaps most centrally, how they sound today. While these songs bear some resemblance to their Americana roots, they lean harder in a new direction, weaving threads of the duo’s other influences: the bands they grew up with, the input of collaborators, and the ever-evolving love affair that now includes their child. Track by track, the changes are transformative, stripping the songs down in some cases and dressing them up in others.<br /><br />The Grahams credit much of their newfound ease to the record’s team who are seasoned all-stars in their own right. Recorded at their own Nashville label and studio 3Sirens, the new album was engineered by their longtime friend and producer Dex Green, and produced by Dan Molad (Lucius, Coco) who they first worked with alongside the late Richard Swift on Kids Like Us. In addition, these recording sessions feature Ray Jacildo (The Black Keys) on keys, Jack Lawrence (Jack White) on bass, and Lucius, who lend mesmerizing backing vocals to several tracks and feature on “Lay Me Down.”</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AFxjfptBkow" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUJqgRoKpEz6hNJXqQn0h-fCqFJI5Gvs0OaRiFRpBZ-QULnBR109BmBxufMYNkUcZWOjQ7hTZPDEVlebHwg2NQYGDQNAu5Lu_AysuzvOZCIAgSKpb0YJAG_5Sr66Sp0PPUJ3vIQ2MGF3mgFh45xAHmnheVhQo31f4nTsp1Mm43I1qjZmiOvKMWizGd-6U/s3600/swj.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2025" data-original-width="3600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUJqgRoKpEz6hNJXqQn0h-fCqFJI5Gvs0OaRiFRpBZ-QULnBR109BmBxufMYNkUcZWOjQ7hTZPDEVlebHwg2NQYGDQNAu5Lu_AysuzvOZCIAgSKpb0YJAG_5Sr66Sp0PPUJ3vIQ2MGF3mgFh45xAHmnheVhQo31f4nTsp1Mm43I1qjZmiOvKMWizGd-6U/s320/swj.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Stephen Wilson Jr</span></b> - patches.<br /><br />Southern Indiana-born, Nashville-based artist Stephen Wilson Jr. has released new single “patches” from his upcoming debut double album søn of dad, out September 15 via Big Loud Records. With its deceptively breezy melody and easygoing chorus underscored by melancholic slide guitars, the song touches upon the importance of learning to live with the scars, scratches and holes in our lives. Today, Wilson also announced that he will join The Lone Bellow on tour for another string of dates this winter.<br /><br />Of the song, Wilson shares: “My scars got scars. Graffiti on graffiti on graffiti. ‘patches’ is a playful song with a serious message. A life lived not avoided. øne packaged with consequences and fibrosis. A built-in collagen-based repair system showing the world the road map to where we’ve been. Wearing scars we’ve earned like we’ve earned ‘em.”<br /><br />Informed by Wilson’s wildly diverse background as a boxer, a scientist (he has a degree in microbiology and chemistry from Middle Tennessee State University) and a songwriter, søn of dad is a 22-song tribute to his late father, to be released exactly five years to the day of his death. Album centerpiece “Father’s Son” and its stirring music video received praise from CMT, Whiskey Riff and Rolling Stone who named it one of the “Best Country Songs of 2023 So Far.”<br /><br />“Writing and making this album has been very therapeutic for me to learn who I am and what my existence looks like after my father. Because life has to go on,” Wilson says. “I'm living my own life, but it's like his death bookended what life he should have had onto mine and I'm carrying it around like a train car.”</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KNxGyGowrVc" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWbjnXC6_hCido4FSV0h8WaK7Hv1uMsNiXUw4WLp_ft1GD5xfDUmDlfunIAiaFbK45jq-2L_D_DGyZV91zKd9yoqv4AApLKq2Tg_v9rTfiedXcDnN5qDOSsg6sgxUEq_kUMZUNCxgtPK_e9bO970Cswgy_lsYdBe7FkBacIKQbAtnZCqlt-SMmbte2bM/s1916/JW-LIVED-IN-PROMO-PHOTO-1.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1294" data-original-width="1916" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWbjnXC6_hCido4FSV0h8WaK7Hv1uMsNiXUw4WLp_ft1GD5xfDUmDlfunIAiaFbK45jq-2L_D_DGyZV91zKd9yoqv4AApLKq2Tg_v9rTfiedXcDnN5qDOSsg6sgxUEq_kUMZUNCxgtPK_e9bO970Cswgy_lsYdBe7FkBacIKQbAtnZCqlt-SMmbte2bM/s320/JW-LIVED-IN-PROMO-PHOTO-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Jacob Weil</span></b> - Lived In (Album).<br /><br />After years of crisscrossing North America, Europe, and the U.K., playing in bands such as Sam Weber and Luca Fogale, Jacob Weil found himself with a collection of his own songs that he was ready to share. The indie-folk debut record, Lived In, was produced by Sam Weber. The album’s production is fast, innovative, and intelligent, and the songs are filled with strength, grit, tenderness, courage, and nostalgia. And, like a string of images, Weil leads us through observations and experiences that have led him to where he is now.<br /><br />Co-written with Luca Fogale, the focus track “9999” is about multiple realities – more specifically it represents the nine-thousand-nine-hundred-ninety-nine ways out of ten thousand that your life could have gone, had you made one specific decision, as opposed to another. It’s a reflection on a life, a relationship, whatever, where you made a decision, and things ended up one way instead of another.<br /><br />In this situation, the song is about a relationship that felt so right, where everything was so perfect, and yet it didn’t work out. It’s about imagining a multitude of realities, in which, if you lived the same life 10,000 times, you just happened to be living in the one where things didn’t work out.<br /><br />“The album started off as a collection of songs from different periods of my life – periods of significant growth and change,” explains Weil. “I didn’t begin with a set throughline between them, but it became apparent later on as I was looking back at them that they all shared a commonality - a reflection on what it feels like to be part way through one’s life and have a mind, body, spirit and even home that feel ‘lived in.’”</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_nfSSA2lF4GFodwSSi_79dh7KtbvDTweLU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-66205623382897622222023-08-19T19:56:00.000+01:002023-08-19T19:56:25.069+01:00Viv & Riley - Paging Doctor Moon - Meagre Martin - Dictator Ship <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtvzbeOdrb4omA8lfYyKEP3LKTeXMLAEz1Wuo410d0IoEjyzGIWknQ0gn0BgRy9ONKIaVfGClKzba-H73fUMfqIInKSnJG2x5GFprIOcURjv8MKovr778hvTWrWRc6Jc1rbSoUI3IH0vgqaH7WbChbILhUHsxjS7XPl-6U1nGFgVram3j2PHNavQgy8go/s1500/v%20&%20r.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1052" data-original-width="1500" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtvzbeOdrb4omA8lfYyKEP3LKTeXMLAEz1Wuo410d0IoEjyzGIWknQ0gn0BgRy9ONKIaVfGClKzba-H73fUMfqIInKSnJG2x5GFprIOcURjv8MKovr778hvTWrWRc6Jc1rbSoUI3IH0vgqaH7WbChbILhUHsxjS7XPl-6U1nGFgVram3j2PHNavQgy8go/s320/v%20&%20r.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Viv & Riley</span></b> - Imaginary People.<br /><br />The new single from Durham indie roots duo Viv & Riley (formerly Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno) is a wistful look at our many selves, at the refractions of our identities as we navigate the world. "‘Imaginary People’ is about evaluating and juggling all of the different versions of myself," Leva (the songwriter) says. "Was I adventurous and a little reckless? Or was I grounded and measured? Am I kind to myself or too judgemental?"<br /><br />A bittersweet nostalgia lies at the heart of Imaginary People, the new album from Viv & Riley, coming September 15, 2023 on Free Dirt Records. Over ten tracks, the pair applies an indie roots sheen to newly composed pop gems.<br /><br />Rooted originally in the folk tradition, the pair reframe the production into experimental territory, crafting songs that speak to finding a path forward into adulthood in an uncertain world. Gifted songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Vivian Leva and Riley Calcagno’s first album under the name Viv & Riley is a subtle masterpiece of thought and reflection.</span><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_CNkZ2uvAaQ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKijOV58NVc-cPkyhU1vYHs9lWgMcwAr2-von5Uwp_ORkgL8KFKr6DRo5p8GPjVxIAgBM3l2f33IhcZtPzeo9Dv7Ev83RMgHPbY0uvuRdSuJoU9KmUE6pLs9WqeZC9OODHIo7W01AW9JbshdSqkycXBfsrkdqaELBDRIKhUTrFdn1xVm6xCWPmrv1-Cl4/s2000/paging%20d%20m.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKijOV58NVc-cPkyhU1vYHs9lWgMcwAr2-von5Uwp_ORkgL8KFKr6DRo5p8GPjVxIAgBM3l2f33IhcZtPzeo9Dv7Ev83RMgHPbY0uvuRdSuJoU9KmUE6pLs9WqeZC9OODHIo7W01AW9JbshdSqkycXBfsrkdqaELBDRIKhUTrFdn1xVm6xCWPmrv1-Cl4/s320/paging%20d%20m.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Paging Doctor Moon</span></b> - Dirty Alcoholic.<br /><br />Pittsburgh-based indie band Paging Doctor Moon has released their newest single, Dirty Alcoholic, available for streaming from August 18th.<br /><br />“This is our Spaghetti Western (Appalachian) exploration of addiction and self harm. Sonically, it feels like cowboys dreaming on a pirate ship,” says Kirsten Heibert, songwriter and founder of Paging Doctor Moon. The guitars rock us gently back and forth as the drums roll the ship through the waves; Heibert’s dreamy vocals blow wind into the sails. The band recorded the song at Audible Images in Pittsburgh, and at their producer Julian Giaimo’s studio in upstate NY.<br /><br />Paging Doctor Moon started as Heibert’s solo project in Brooklyn. With an album and EP under her belt, she relocated to her hometown in 2021. This is the first single featuring the new band members.<br /><br />Dirty Alcoholic is the first of three singles with accompanying music videos to be released this year. It will be followed by “Scars” and “Middle Management.” The music videos are scripted by Heibert and filmed/directed by Danielle Powell with creative consulting by Giuliana Fox. The content may be dark, but this group is dedicated to finding the joy in everything they create. Heibert hopes that the music makes you feel deeply…even if she is afraid to herself.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yBROWIiR-FI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2_fZ3Bv88jm6bYqDIB8hx3MCCPcrRoHlAW1MdeNho2AQNbOqvOT3-KonnGtLdXGBpjfOBLDS2kGj4wDzokeTTiiSgxuACgNeULt9kEhzxfwuvam9k5rpPGehvxjFLkV9u8KasKeZhCSgFIH4EB2h55RM7FnIrRIreH8O89wRwSoTQgAwA-Ts0TaEjBb4/s1282/meagre%20m.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1282" data-original-width="1282" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2_fZ3Bv88jm6bYqDIB8hx3MCCPcrRoHlAW1MdeNho2AQNbOqvOT3-KonnGtLdXGBpjfOBLDS2kGj4wDzokeTTiiSgxuACgNeULt9kEhzxfwuvam9k5rpPGehvxjFLkV9u8KasKeZhCSgFIH4EB2h55RM7FnIrRIreH8O89wRwSoTQgAwA-Ts0TaEjBb4/s320/meagre%20m.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Meagre Martin</span></b> - Please Clap.<br /><br />Berlin-based trio Meagre Martin has their shared new single 'Please Clap'. The single comes alongside the exciting news that on November 10th, the band will release their debut album Gut Punch via Mansions & Millions, as well as heading back to their native USA for a slew of live dates supporting Alt-J.<br /><br />The project was founded in the summer of 2021 by the African-American musician and songwriter Sarah Martin (guitar), who was quickly joined by Federico ‘Freddy’ Corazzini (drums) and Max Hirtz-Wolf (bass).<br /><br />On Gut Punch, Meagre Martin create a sound inspired by shoegaze, 90’s indie, or 'faux country,' as the band calls it, and juxtaposes these beautifully light soundscapes with lyrics that belie the sweetness of the sound with their vulnerability and depth. Sonically evoking images of California deserts and Berlin basements, of long thoughtful conversations in the twilight, days turning into nights in the park and nights turning into day again at a studio, Meagre Martin have created eleven tracks that beautifully flow into each other.<br /><br />New single, 'Please Clap', is a satirical take on the feeling of inadequacy. "The original inspiration for the song came from using performance as a means of connection and a way to feel seen," explains Sarah. "As the song was forming, a lyric I was writing reminded me of a viral video from the 2016 US Presidential race of Jeb Bush giving a 'rousing' speech, then having to ask his audience to 'please clap'." Despite being against everything the Bush family stands for, Sarah felt pity for the eldest son, since he has always been overlooked throughout his career.

Blending energetic and raw rock’n'roll with exquisite multi-layered vocal harmonies and melodies inspired by 60’s soul and doo-wop, the band has carved out their very own niche in the rock landscape, perfectly displayed on the new album.<br /><br />The second single leading up to ”Electric Jihad” is called ”City Girl” and is released on the 18th of August on The Sign Records.<br /><br />The band comments on ”City Girl”: It’s a song about romance. About meeting a fantastic someone that you really want to sleep with and hang out with but you know you won’t ever get the chance. What can you do? You just get yourself a drink and move on.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TzCKDSF4vWE" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-4043858346417699142023-08-18T19:50:00.000+01:002023-08-18T19:50:34.567+01:00Spoils - Charlie Rogers - Tilia - The Resonant Rogues <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLAnfITMlCY0BwGO0M_8E_tDhRKFK4VSi6LtYRlixAB2Arg4YgWebb5ce2X3MdGzN4bcC1C0Fyg4Yt-Rc0-V-Pf4DZmWM9dx2D9kM53wEmuY1Pp-dkpmrryPoHdrsi4J3dlt0b53J6vKExAT8uhkCi3xTPz3IdqhvvOwP9JXUFfrOnfsd6XAPfMRuMSWE/s1379/spoils.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="919" data-original-width="1379" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLAnfITMlCY0BwGO0M_8E_tDhRKFK4VSi6LtYRlixAB2Arg4YgWebb5ce2X3MdGzN4bcC1C0Fyg4Yt-Rc0-V-Pf4DZmWM9dx2D9kM53wEmuY1Pp-dkpmrryPoHdrsi4J3dlt0b53J6vKExAT8uhkCi3xTPz3IdqhvvOwP9JXUFfrOnfsd6XAPfMRuMSWE/s320/spoils.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Spoils</span></b> - Nothing For a Man (E.P).<br /><br />In the mid-90's when the giant wave of post-Nirvana A&R signings crested and broke, Cincinnati, OH experienced a blink-and-you-miss it moment in the sun birthing a sultry, greasy and noise-addled contribution to the Indie Rock lexicon with bands like Afghan Whigs, Ass Ponys, Wussy and compatriots Brainiac. But to say that Cincinnati possesses a "sound" that has any kind of throughline is a bit more difficult to place. Instead, the city like the music it produces, is a bit of a liminal zone - straddling the South and the Midwest, concentration of the world's most successful multi-national companies and a startling high poverty index. The music that makes it out feels unplaceable - how did a city of just over a million birth Why?, The National, Adrian Belew and John Bender?<br /><br />While so many of the acts named feel like they are constantly in the act of becoming, Spoils, a band formed in 2021 right on the cusp of another wave of creativity in Cincinnati, feels completely the opposite. Their songs sound as if they were plucked from the slipstream as fully formed, fully realized and hooked into a lineage much bigger than themselves. Songs by Spoils, once played, immediately dig deep caverns into your brain with a pace that feels practically metabolic. On their latest EP - Nothing For a Man (their first for the Cincy based Happy Families label) expands on the tunefulness of their debut 2022 EP Find Later - while expanding their musical vocabulary. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Violins appear on the intro and "Riverbed (Redux)" and Rhodes piano grace "David", giving these songs a bit more space to breathe while catalyzed by perfect hooks that songwriter, guitarist and violinist Nina Payiatis's is so well suited for. The tunefulness of that dog., the irresistible hooks of bands like Unrest and the scrappy economy of The Spinanes are good entry points while contemporary indie bands like Spirit of the Beehive and Horse Jumper of Love seem to be fellow travelers.<br /><br />Within the span of two years Spoils has managed to retain the accelerants that made Find Later such a treasured find allowing the simmering verses to feel out their depth a bit more. About the creation of the EP Nina Payiatis states, "The EP itself was written in the past year or so when the atmosphere felt more fertile from pandemic tensions being released. It's made of threads that tie back to growing and living here– family, friends, fables, emerging into adulthood as the world opens back up."</span><br /></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_mf8AX2yWFKfKyYWOqaEhalFHFHmpmHRC4" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKkSSLclxbOooymZ9cfdzSDNb_DNjr7uUr9aLVnnx1hlxO9jnA9IIwgqklJZFRaYAukyC67rri47xxNfZhqtHoFgHd3eYYjsI_16OKxfYng-aVRS05OwS14jwUTxRYyBUCnUcBOD3aSMLJfxacV-0AJYWoDrs9PlHygjXy35H875snq-tHs4sGXh7ZNU/s6000/CharlieRogers_WHWM_MAIN2.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKkSSLclxbOooymZ9cfdzSDNb_DNjr7uUr9aLVnnx1hlxO9jnA9IIwgqklJZFRaYAukyC67rri47xxNfZhqtHoFgHd3eYYjsI_16OKxfYng-aVRS05OwS14jwUTxRYyBUCnUcBOD3aSMLJfxacV-0AJYWoDrs9PlHygjXy35H875snq-tHs4sGXh7ZNU/s320/CharlieRogers_WHWM_MAIN2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Charlie Rogers</span></b> - When He Was Me (Acoustic Version).<br /><br />Nashville's charming country artist, Charlie Rogers, is gearing up to release the acoustic version of his latest single, "When He Was Me." This song is a heart-wrenchingly vivid account of letting love slip through one's hands and overcoming a broken relationship, all told over a distinctly Western ballad. The song was notably co-written by Shay Mooney of the famed pop duo Dan + Shay and Benjy Davis (Jake Owen, Anderson East, Maddie & Tae).<br /><br />Oregon-born and Kansas-raised, Charlie Rogers' writing and musical journey began at a very young age. His passion for musical pursuits was purposed to communicate equity and commonalities between the listener and the musician resulting in his genre-alchemizing country/singer-songwriter style.<br /><br />Now residing in Nashville, his love for representing unheard voices helped push his career to open for artists like Russell Dickerson, Brothers Osborne, and Janelle Arthur. His prominent writing and compassionate voice accelerated his musical journey, allowing him to play CMA honors ceremonies for Charley Pride and Ricky Skaggs. Rogers’ music has been praised by The Boot, Country Fancast, and more.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SM3IbQodpgY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB7VKL_gFxhXhlqkZagHwrPg6x-BZV8XIW45yJz9jqANY3dlVCQVXnOZzYrmsb1Di86088X7puhBOkuJtHl5RBqkss0bOOU9wFdDxzikuS9tPAXHY67_5XhLWj6AosLLbXfyIoU2me0C8RWQBPMOAPpTWsj4vBSg7MzI_3O_xpOOZIQwE4UX2Momw78GI/s800/tilia.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB7VKL_gFxhXhlqkZagHwrPg6x-BZV8XIW45yJz9jqANY3dlVCQVXnOZzYrmsb1Di86088X7puhBOkuJtHl5RBqkss0bOOU9wFdDxzikuS9tPAXHY67_5XhLWj6AosLLbXfyIoU2me0C8RWQBPMOAPpTWsj4vBSg7MzI_3O_xpOOZIQwE4UX2Momw78GI/s320/tilia.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Tilia</span></b> - Healing Voice.<br /><br />Tilia is a songwriter from Zurich and explores themes of escape, uprooting, and the hope of finding happiness elsewhere in her latest single «Healing Voice».<br /><br />The song tells about the search for meaning, setting out for unknown places, ending up in dead ends on detours and the confidence of always finding the right path.<br /><br />After two albums and tours in Switzerland and Germany, she took a break for 4 years ago to pursue other artistic projects.

Keith (guitar, vocals) grew up in the punk scene, and started hopping trains at 18, riding the rails all over the country and busking for a living. Sparrow grew up performing everything from music and dance, to figure skating, was a circus performer, and holds down vocals, banjo and accordion duties for The Rogues.<br /><br />They are announcing their amazing self-titled LP (out on November 10th) with its lead single "Show Me," featuring background vocals and harmonies from their pal, Sierra Ferrell. "Show Me" is a yearning track about how we all deserve to be be treated right, and it's out today August 18th.<br /><br />The album was produced by the illustrious Andrija Tokic (Hurray For The Riff Raff, Alabama Shakes) at his analog paradise, The Bomb Shelter, here in Nashville. It's the first records for The Resonant Rogues since 2019. Naming this LP after themselves was a bold move for the band - they're staking their ground, laying down roots, and giving us the best of their career with this one. It's a delicious blend of traditional music, Appalachian old-time, classic country, and vintage soul, featuring friends like Sierra, Benjamin Tod, The Deslondes' John James Tourville, and more.</span><br /><p><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4170627675/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e99708/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=1982545888/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://theresonantrogues.bandcamp.com/album/the-resonant-rogues">The Resonant Rogues by The Resonant Rogues</a></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-43086716796513725972023-08-17T22:08:00.000+01:002023-08-17T22:08:29.074+01:00Ava Vegas - Plastic Barricades - David Vertesi - Fallon Cush <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnWlkxTubYZoKRm7sFKb1Zp2uteOlOSth3H5WCz_CDhocmociv5-X2PmmJmLpMFM9FLIZ0GrZxN7cAIR_Y2HZuXDywMQGerJ2EZ0S-MJdHrbzQmlJls-7kiPqScaOO8MZdToPnO11_-dH1boCGIrSIS0dBg0JsT7kIegFz3puZghc-QZX6bAHP4P7Xng/s3939/AvaVegas_YourSecret_.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2751" data-original-width="3939" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnWlkxTubYZoKRm7sFKb1Zp2uteOlOSth3H5WCz_CDhocmociv5-X2PmmJmLpMFM9FLIZ0GrZxN7cAIR_Y2HZuXDywMQGerJ2EZ0S-MJdHrbzQmlJls-7kiPqScaOO8MZdToPnO11_-dH1boCGIrSIS0dBg0JsT7kIegFz3puZghc-QZX6bAHP4P7Xng/s320/AvaVegas_YourSecret_.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ava Vegas</span></b> - Your Secrets With Me.<br /><br />Prepare to be transported to a realm where desert landscapes blend seamlessly with dystopian, high-tech visions in the video for Berlin-based, singer-songwriter Ava Vegas captivating, "Your Secrets With Me."

This is the third introduction to the upcoming third album “We Stayed Indoors”, due in autumn this year.<br /><br />“Second-hand Dreams” explores the world where we are always on a cusp of a better life, but never quite there. Overwhelmed and overworked, we are drowning in an endless ocean of distractions and superficial communication, trying to impress people we don’t actually like.<br /><br />Our thoughts and actions are being regulated and limited and we are afraid of taking risks and breaking free from the confines of conformity. We live someone else’s dreams, which are moulded by corporations and their relentless ad agencies.<br /><br />Can we escape this never-ending rat race and find solace in discovering our own authentic path? The single comes accompanied by a quirky music video made using the latest developments in AI-assisted text-to-video algorithms. Produced by the band’s art director Elina Pasok, the video invites you on a quest through the office cubicles and winding corridors in search of a dream that’s truly yours.<br /></span><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mhfeqy6bxGQ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />======================================================================<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzwsSAJwvzbsxEug12gfANqCh8iSyCPLQfyPT5nfbe_dneZErGf2ZjcypUhxxzIRRT42SNa9aLmGmJuOpMY0j4dSGhX0hqIpcJsZzuVusJbVKlaOh-ndxykVEMpEtuikajPPfuxsF5DLcnYMjyMID8AfWFYUbZJnnoxUhq1iFrBGQPKSWfZpYyvVnCE0/s2560/Preferred-_-David-Vertesi-Press-Image-Photo-by-Justin-Broadbent-3-scaled.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1675" data-original-width="2560" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzwsSAJwvzbsxEug12gfANqCh8iSyCPLQfyPT5nfbe_dneZErGf2ZjcypUhxxzIRRT42SNa9aLmGmJuOpMY0j4dSGhX0hqIpcJsZzuVusJbVKlaOh-ndxykVEMpEtuikajPPfuxsF5DLcnYMjyMID8AfWFYUbZJnnoxUhq1iFrBGQPKSWfZpYyvVnCE0/s320/Preferred-_-David-Vertesi-Press-Image-Photo-by-Justin-Broadbent-3-scaled.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Justin Broadbent</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">David Vertesi</span></b> - Who Am I Now.<br /><br />For 15 years, David Vertesi has appeared as an integral part of some of Canada’s most exciting indie-rock projects. Whether he’s playing in Hey Ocean!, Shad, Dear Rouge, Hannah Georgas, or Said the Whale, producing Haley Blais, Noble Son, Ashleigh Ball, or Riun Garner, Vertesi brings a uniquely sensuous and brooding sensibility, an intricate sonic depth that multiplies the layers of a song.<br /><br />In his solo work, these dramatic flairs ignite on full display. Vertesi has an equal command over choreographing lush technologic atmospheres of instrumentation as he does squeezing the naked emotional core from a piano, steady bass drum, and the soft plucking rhythm of a guitar. But it’s his own voice that distinguishes these spectrums of rough-and-tumble and tightly polished stories of confusion, loneliness, death, and ennui. Vertesi’s growling inimitable baritone deepens the tender poetry and sense of humour as he emerges centre-stage as a fully formed front-man of his own musical expression.<br /><br />“This song was born out of the individual and collective renegotiation of self that I have witnessed since 2020 and the beginning of the pandemic,” Vertesi explains. “With my band of 15+ years [Hey Ocean!] on indefinite hiatus, I was attempting to do this for myself, however, I couldn't help but notice pretty much everyone around me was doing the same: leaving jobs, moving cities, ending relationships. But whether mourning or celebrating the loss of our old lives it seemed like we were all asking ourselves the same question.”<br /></span><br /><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1571242075&color=%23a1512c&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe><div style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Interstate, Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Garuda, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: 100; line-break: anywhere; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; word-break: normal;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/davidvertesiofficial" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="David Vertesi">David Vertesi</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/davidvertesiofficial/who-am-i-now" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Who Am I Now">Who Am I Now</a></div><br />======================================================================<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnxmykym_0f26GkCy63YyXcR4nuMSukvbl-72sEYKLNwWu0drk7zb5YFWUyDDwJvSefrb2mpPyjb7FwYj-oiQY099dCwZZ6X5UUmLih1_7NUrdxRL_Bnz6TySLIpYdSA0LRdu8BZB08l_b1nXI9H6164tSlWwgojZ6trkQ96R7-rMkdcRpsGkNvHwyAKg/s1200/fallon%20cush.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnxmykym_0f26GkCy63YyXcR4nuMSukvbl-72sEYKLNwWu0drk7zb5YFWUyDDwJvSefrb2mpPyjb7FwYj-oiQY099dCwZZ6X5UUmLih1_7NUrdxRL_Bnz6TySLIpYdSA0LRdu8BZB08l_b1nXI9H6164tSlWwgojZ6trkQ96R7-rMkdcRpsGkNvHwyAKg/s320/fallon%20cush.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Fallon Cush</span></b> - Hang On To Me.<br /><br />The release of Fallon Cush's 2019 album, Stranger Things Have Happened was to have been the next step in their progression, with the band preparing to head to Melbourne for shows when the Covid pandemic lockdowns forced the cancellation of their plans.<br /><br />Mental health issues are spoken about far more frequently than they once were but for Steve Smith, the head honcho of Fallon Cush, the breakdown he suffered at the beginning of 2020 came as a complete shock. Left with crippling anxiety, Smith stopped work, become increasingly isolated and barely pickup a guitar as he disengaged with the world.<br /><br />Following a period of recovery and change, Smith and Fallon Cush unexpectedly re-emerged in 2023 with the single ‘Grain Of Salt’. Performed by Smith and Josh Schuberth who also recorded, mixed and mastered the track, 'Grain Of Salt' proved to be another soulful, melodic gem from the band. "<br /><br />Now the band proudly unveil the second single from their forthcoming five track EP Tricks. 'Hang On To Me', is a song that again finds Smith seemingly effortlessly crafting a sublime vocal melody in his affecting and unassuming style. Complemented by equally emotive pedal steel and keys, the warm and breezy country rock song explores the theme of self-care, with a real emphasis on the 'me' of the title.<br /><br />"I was addressing the song to myself from me but trying to do it in such a way that it could’ve been from someone else as well." Smith reveals. "At that time I was trying to be kinder to myself and the song was a bit of a statement that I’d look after myself better than I had been and that if I did, I’d get through."</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RTFAkNqc9Pw" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-65655962711363089622023-08-15T19:34:00.000+01:002023-08-15T19:34:11.042+01:00The Bones of J.R.

Jones</span></b> - The Good Life.<br /><br />Today, the New York-based artist The Bones of J.R. Jones released “The Good Life” from Slow Lightning, his first studio album in more than 5 years that will be released on October 13 via Tone Tree Music. The new single arrives alongside a moving official video where actress Maggie McDowell does what we all dream of: ditch the chaos of your day job, light a cigarette and hit the open road in search of fireworks, open fields, amusement parks and just a moment of pure joy. <br /><br />About the new song, Jonathon Linaberry (best known by his stage name The Bones of J.R. Jones) explains:,“'The Good Life' was definitely a product of me trying to break through and learn to enjoy the moment I am in. Even if that moment is hard. Even if it is frustrating. Even if it feels like treading water, which in my mind is a synonym for death. I suppose I wrote ‘The Good Life’ to help remind myself of that. That we can always find a way out.”<br /><br />“I wanted this video to walk the line of joy and heaviness of life. I wanted it to feel real enough so that we could all relate to that moment where Maggie leaves it all behind (even though we all, always come back). I think that's one of the beautifully sad things about what we do to ourselves as humans. We are gluttons for punishment. We torture ourselves because we don't think there is any other way to move forward. The original concept had Maggie raising a little more hell. Fist fights. Stealing cigarettes. Breaking windows. But I think if we went down that path it would be tough to find the joy in what ultimately is a hopeful song,” he adds about the video.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6iQsHDv30n0" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-29885277627601598272023-08-13T20:09:00.000+01:002023-08-13T20:09:31.256+01:00Edie Yvonne - Grace Enger - Callum Gaudet - The Haptics <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK1vUElJg7J7ZjfRoY2fWOC-IRNgi3CrW3RQVvIoPyeXn5VG0RsHz8Jur_nMc7bWedCs5XXP3yeUsCBYk4ObecO30nV8VFqd7-w7XQr_VDb6iD4Nm2NimpXVQtOedwfdc2eKCVxFILByun_8lzrIBWiYFvbUHRPfkzYOQbCqPLS0Awjsy7fFMf0ozZIQg/s700/Edie%20Yvonne%20-%20OYM_Landscape.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="700" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK1vUElJg7J7ZjfRoY2fWOC-IRNgi3CrW3RQVvIoPyeXn5VG0RsHz8Jur_nMc7bWedCs5XXP3yeUsCBYk4ObecO30nV8VFqd7-w7XQr_VDb6iD4Nm2NimpXVQtOedwfdc2eKCVxFILByun_8lzrIBWiYFvbUHRPfkzYOQbCqPLS0Awjsy7fFMf0ozZIQg/s320/Edie%20Yvonne%20-%20OYM_Landscape.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Edie Yvonne</span></b> - On Your Mind.<br /><br />Up-and-coming indie pop artist Edie Yvonne has released her formidable new single, “On Your Mind,” a groove that showcases the teen’s lyrical power.

"I wrote 'On Your Mind' after feeling like I couldn’t get through to a loved one,” explains Edie Yvonne offering a heartfelt glimpse into her inner world. “I was questioning how to be close with someone and feel so far away, so disconnected." This upbeat, guitar-driven anthem tells a story that resonates deeply, drawing listeners into her situation and igniting a sense of connection and relatability. Through the power of her words, Edie delves into the tempestuous distance between two souls, wondering what occupies the mind of the other person and why they struggle to find a lasting bond. With a desire to understand and embrace the complexities within her relationship, Edie is determined to navigate and mend them while actively seeking to bridge the distance between them.<br /><br />In her latest single, Edie Yvonne intimately explores the vivid turbulence of being unable to connect with someone she has a personal relationship with. Her lyrics resonate with raw feelings, shedding light on the challenging dynamics of a troubled relationship. “On Your Mind” was written by Edie and is a collaboration with producers Nicky Swedin and Cormac Liotta for Rrose Productions.

When I moved to the city after graduating from high school, I was enamored with the cultural diversity, the food, and the fact that live music happened every weekend.”<br /><br />That said, trading locales created a dissonance between Gaudet’s youth and early adulthood. “By leaning so far into a new direction, I lost my old self,” he said. “I realized that I missed the outdoors, I missed finding myself in situations that I wasn’t prepared for. Doing camping trips and long distance treks put me in situations that required human spirit to overcome, and that resilience, the ability to laugh at trouble, was what I realized I was looking for from a partnership. This song is an ode to resilience, support in the face of adversity, and a love of bad weather.”<br /><br /> “Winnebago Lovers” hails from Gaudet’s album, Ghosts, out this October. “This process has been like publishing a collection of short stories,” he said. “About half of these songs started with characters. As soon as I could see these characters I started searching for what happened to them. Sometimes this was a practice in writing, and sometimes this was an exploration of my own emotions. I could look back at something that happened in my life and appreciate the significance, retelling the story to myself with a fresh perspective.”</span><br /><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uhlU-1Rt0Pw" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3JQY6dYHVexDSe5-56INPBNzzfV8KfLIvdNVUPlZxWGg9sYTVc3EyhiLJQ49yMeVssQuJHWUBY_3GlKKLabEIKejB8T5UZ8V2vwAF2F6LLT-H5RbK0ROhsy-FmxDnvkJ3P7vbgOMAW3xTwVIE2Pei2tM5VK4qFYOHe4drDNlbzkARPYNgqBrBuxYofLA/s692/haptics.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="461" data-original-width="692" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3JQY6dYHVexDSe5-56INPBNzzfV8KfLIvdNVUPlZxWGg9sYTVc3EyhiLJQ49yMeVssQuJHWUBY_3GlKKLabEIKejB8T5UZ8V2vwAF2F6LLT-H5RbK0ROhsy-FmxDnvkJ3P7vbgOMAW3xTwVIE2Pei2tM5VK4qFYOHe4drDNlbzkARPYNgqBrBuxYofLA/s320/haptics.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Haptics</span></b> - Zeroes.<br /><br />The Haptics Illuminate the Depths of Mental Health with Latest Release 'Zeroes' which is a Heartfelt Tribute to Shared Journeys and Unyielding Unity<br /><br />Zeroes: Anyone who's spent time in psychiatric care, especially in a hospital setting, knows the hopelessness of their long hallways and empty gazes. But there's also a powerful unity in suffering together, even at your lowest point. That's what inspired these words and propels this song to its conclusion, which is an acknowledgement of a mental health patient that Jin met years ago who unfortunately passed during her care. - explains the band.<br /><br />The Haptics formed in 2022, united by a love for post-punk. Based in Vancouver, their music blends dark post-punk beats with Alternative Rock and Grunge. Their name signifies a focus on sensory experiences. Influenced by Joy Division and The Cure, they modernize the genre. Their live shows captivate with high energy and introspective lyrics. The debut album from late 2022 received acclaim for emotion and instrumentals. The band is involved in visual arts, reflecting their aesthetic. Strong social media presence and collaborations have expanded their fanbase. The Haptics' willingness to experiment keeps their sound fresh.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/21-cDcBjuBg" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-33587219060049907472023-08-12T19:48:00.000+01:002023-08-12T19:48:55.770+01:00Bo Milli - Margo Cilker - Montao - The Breath <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja1PpwLz1IYk7SwJS7E43EE0-bLORhC2i2lSHasUf6KKGHao_KhK6JXktKhspSBDV5p92xJ_WCZEXN0U5pichSXkPcFC1lKTVT3PjheJLWCh_q0dfkVgCCs2JXDmsMPWoojy-WKsD1Inh3Et9xYUved8lNwEv27L7px1h21Y3ztmWi0-WpmOFd4v8oSnk/s2048/bo%20milli.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1532" data-original-width="2048" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja1PpwLz1IYk7SwJS7E43EE0-bLORhC2i2lSHasUf6KKGHao_KhK6JXktKhspSBDV5p92xJ_WCZEXN0U5pichSXkPcFC1lKTVT3PjheJLWCh_q0dfkVgCCs2JXDmsMPWoojy-WKsD1Inh3Et9xYUved8lNwEv27L7px1h21Y3ztmWi0-WpmOFd4v8oSnk/s320/bo%20milli.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Bo Milli</span></b> - Come After Me.<br /><br />Bergen, Norway-based indie-rock starlet Bo Milli has announced her long awaited debut EP will be released this autumn and has released its latest taster, new single "Come After Me".<br /><br />Tipped by many to be one of the next breakout Norwegian artists, Bo Milli's new single "Come After Me" follows recent track "Making Friends" and arrives ahead of a coveted slot at Øya Festival this Saturday.<br /><br />Blending richly textured dream-pop with surging indie rock, Bo Milli's new single "Come After Me" is adorned with an irresistibly youthful edge. "I'm on my own / overthinking" Milli cries in the track's exhilarating chorus; punctuated by crushing guitar strums and propelled forward by a zestful rhythm section.<br /><br />Co-produced by Odd Martin (Sigrid, Sløtface) and co-written with Henrik Michelsen (Maisie Peters, Little Mix), "Come After Me" is again emotionally fuelled by the cold Bergen night life - a recurring theme across her debut EP - with Bo Milli this time specifically overthinking on her journey home from a party...<br /><br />Speaking more on "Come After Me", Bo Milli said: "I'm fantasising about a big romantic gesture from someone I'm worried might not be that interested. I'm walking home from a party they're still at, overthinking the whole night and feeling that if they come after me, that'll somehow prove we're on the same page. Although I haven't told them how I feel, I hope they'll know to leave the party and run after me like in the movies."</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5SiJ_dlWG-I" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGX9xunG81LjR-2vgVA0fCMqVz3N-5QdkLBoZ36FHs-APwjnN7aqUrBL-LqDK-gPhNgWD1Z8eOg85bwNO9BE5l20Dc1TxFX5tdqIdXfBzESQpkQ1FZKdsSN4X8VWCqwBAiD79SOzEG7wOZMEZcXH63pHzhudeH5GZ_MMDWEgq-V03clwrw1FY28lnJC1E/s2048/Margo%20C.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1293" data-original-width="2048" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGX9xunG81LjR-2vgVA0fCMqVz3N-5QdkLBoZ36FHs-APwjnN7aqUrBL-LqDK-gPhNgWD1Z8eOg85bwNO9BE5l20Dc1TxFX5tdqIdXfBzESQpkQ1FZKdsSN4X8VWCqwBAiD79SOzEG7wOZMEZcXH63pHzhudeH5GZ_MMDWEgq-V03clwrw1FY28lnJC1E/s320/Margo%20C.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Margo Cilker</span></b> - With The Middle.<br /><br />Margo Cilker is set to return with her highly anticipated second album Valley Of Heart’s Delight on September 15 via Loose.

I guess this is a song for those of us who can’t nap. It takes me to a time when I felt incredibly fragile. I like the way Sera’s production bolsters the song; the track was almost unbearably lonely before the drums, bass, piano and steel."<br /><br />Cilker initially announced Valley Of Heart’s Delight with opener “Lowland Trail,” which saw Rolling Stone exclaim, “The singer-songwriter is poised to have a breakout year.” They went on to name the track one of the "20 Best Country Songs of 2023 So Far" listing Cilker among standouts like Megan Moroney, Zach Bryan, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Leon Bridges, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Ashley McBryde, Morgan Wade, Lainey Wilson, and more.<br /><br />The forthcoming 11-track set was produced by Sub Pop alum Sera Cahoone (who also contributes drums) and recorded by John Morgan Askew (Neko Case, Laura Gibson) with studio players from The Decemberists, Band Of Horses, and Beirut. The title Valley Of Heart’s Delight refers to a place where Cilker can't return: California’s Santa Clara Valley, as it was known before the orchards were paved over and became more famous for Silicon than apricots. She is the fifth generation of her namesake born there, and in this new collection of songs, family and nature intertwine as guiding motifs, at once precious and endangered, beautiful and exhausting.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KLZajJXiW6Q" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEt1i18Mey3BOmLA9m3yCpz8_tARbUNyQ5_NicVU38j_6db2KXMhktv91inhYej9jUaUflQVeW4h2MFOQpEaKbSDV-x00mlF9ulKcEdDZ-yyIoGF8uR5_oCaEQshVWe1p7D1MUu34F73Pmfu3u7m4vC9q_hQS6NrR0dey4PGglKXZtsIY29NlbeamJ5e8/s2048/montao.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEt1i18Mey3BOmLA9m3yCpz8_tARbUNyQ5_NicVU38j_6db2KXMhktv91inhYej9jUaUflQVeW4h2MFOQpEaKbSDV-x00mlF9ulKcEdDZ-yyIoGF8uR5_oCaEQshVWe1p7D1MUu34F73Pmfu3u7m4vC9q_hQS6NrR0dey4PGglKXZtsIY29NlbeamJ5e8/s320/montao.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Montao</span></b> - Costa Del Mersey.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Oh this is really good and it's an opportunity for Beehive Candy to add some more genre traveling under our belt! For me it's a mixture of 'Old School Meets Today' and it's done with creativity and style, so enjoy, as we add the background story. As a homage to his home town of Liverpool, Montao has returned with a dreamy sun drenched track, lovingly named after the coastline along Merseyside. The track interweaves amidst a variety of nuances and musical suggestions, whilst slapping a massive smile on your face.<br /><br />The head nodding laid back vibe transcends the picture being painted with simple instructions...to kick back, spin this over the summer months, and to simply have some fun! This hazy ray of trip hop brings Montao back onto the scene, and Costa Del Mersey is a welcome addition to his collection<br /><br />After decades of experience as a multi instrumentalist, recording artist, music publicist, artist manager, and everything else in between, these aspects have fused together and spawned a new musical landscape in the world of Montao. Following the incredible success of his single releases to date, including a plethora of international radio support, multiple blog features, and playlist placements, Montao returns with string of releases dropping throughout the rest of 2023 under the umbrella of Def Pressé Records.<br /><br />His up coming collaborations will include tracks featuring Slug (Atmosphere), Copywrite, Koncept, RoQy TyRaid, and Lane Shuler. His music transcends from the depths of quirky samples, sofa style beats, and paints a cinematic story based around all the elements of the stories he creates combining elements of Trip hop, Hip hop, and Lo-fi influences. Encapsulated amidst the terrain of a curious and sometimes confusing world, Montao is putting things right…one beat at a time.</span><br /></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N2dN9ZH0sqQ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhwBPU2C_0KwK1QmukkSIGsCEKXetT4rO1BR-1oxkmZJklmwvfRSJtOkmficKig2igKJCYl9aVtwmyG2Ky-sqQQhVHNcLJPznD41Ekj6eo_jJx0aTakbW2n963OjTi2UssvH5OkRbXvz_A8iLm7E738cqeXn04pWG1U8KKQctReNK6YN_vJsmxC7MpTQ/s2170/the%20breath.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="2170" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhwBPU2C_0KwK1QmukkSIGsCEKXetT4rO1BR-1oxkmZJklmwvfRSJtOkmficKig2igKJCYl9aVtwmyG2Ky-sqQQhVHNcLJPznD41Ekj6eo_jJx0aTakbW2n963OjTi2UssvH5OkRbXvz_A8iLm7E738cqeXn04pWG1U8KKQctReNK6YN_vJsmxC7MpTQ/s320/the%20breath.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Breath</span></b> - Don't Rush It.<br /><br />The Breath announce details of their new album, ‘Land Of My Other' and share new track "Don't Rush It". Ten original tracks of raw, gorgeous, acoustic-minded music. Songs that tell stories in ways that soothe, stir, exalt, and touch emotional chords that will bring tears of lamenting joy, to your eyes. ‘Land of My Other’ is set for release on vinyl, CD and digital via Real World Records on 13th October 2023.<br /><br />"If it all falls tomorrow, be glad of today" …sings Ríoghnach Connolly, on "Don’t Rush It", the first song to feature from the album. It might be about the toll we pay for leaving home, the mistakes we make by hurrying grief or something else… it’s the opening track of an album where Connolly’s emotions run the gamut: righteous, sorrowful, joyous. Authenticity is at a premium. Shame is cast aside.<br />‘Land of My Other’ is written and performed by the sublime partnership of Ríoghnach [Ree-uh-na] Connolly and guitarist Stuart McCallum. For the widely acclaimed duo, this is the third album under their moniker The Breath.<br /><br />"We work like two halves of a single songwriter," says McCallum, the Manchester-based composer and producer. "Imagine a guitarist and a singer who are not separate but are separate people. We just have this really special connection that lets us listen, adapt and evolve a piece of music together."<br /><br />Connolly nods her agreement. "Stuart is the yin to my yang," says the BBC Folk Singer of the Year, her north of Ireland accent un-tempered by two decades of Manchester living. "He has one face. I have many. He's very measured. I'm not. I like mayhem. He doesn't. I know where I am with him."</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VvFI3YrGZKA" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-12051501899119506182023-08-11T19:26:00.000+01:002023-08-11T19:26:22.201+01:00Lucy Lorenne & The Early Birds - Laura Groves - Ora Cogan - Echo Ladies <p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNcKecQzv44NiwjcS0OUOa6VdvmbtkLCYRHxJdR80ZyLaIGbGW5-bWqB149yGLGWOORB3NfX90x2I73RPBL-2ZIbf4glrXx2uM9R70b6pz25LZd6ZyGH2JDjoRNGF_fcZiIIedhjg0Oij-xaLJ_M8AaKrOQEWCfLHE4Ptsz-Np1X67jLwfQw1q_Rol2iA/s6960/%5BPress%20Image%203%5D%20Lucy%20Lorenne_July%202023%20-%20Credit%20Mediaroid.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4640" data-original-width="6960" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNcKecQzv44NiwjcS0OUOa6VdvmbtkLCYRHxJdR80ZyLaIGbGW5-bWqB149yGLGWOORB3NfX90x2I73RPBL-2ZIbf4glrXx2uM9R70b6pz25LZd6ZyGH2JDjoRNGF_fcZiIIedhjg0Oij-xaLJ_M8AaKrOQEWCfLHE4Ptsz-Np1X67jLwfQw1q_Rol2iA/s320/%5BPress%20Image%203%5D%20Lucy%20Lorenne_July%202023%20-%20Credit%20Mediaroid.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Mediaroid<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Lucy Lorenne & The Early Birds</span></b> - Tamagotchi Nights.<br /><br />Melbourne's dynamic six-piece indie pop rock outfit, Lucy Lorenne & The Early Birds, are dropping a vibrant and nostalgia-driven pop anthem, 'Tamagotchi Nights', accompanied by an equally charming music video today Friday, August 11.<br /><br />With her debut EP, 'Summers Gone', already under her belt, the charismatic Lucy Lorenne and her band continue to grow their endearing sound as they explore new depths of sonic and lyrical maturity with this power pop anthem that takes a colourful trip down memory lane.<br /><br />'Tamagotchi Nights' – co-written by Lucy Lorenne, Matt Hargreaves and Flagrant Artists producer Ben Oldland (Ūla, Ashwarya, Alley Eley, Genes, Sian Fuller) – is a vibrant boppy number that pays homage to childhood innocence and fantasy. With an air of melancholy for the more innocent times gone by, the song captures the essence of post-millennial nostalgia.<br /><br />Lucy Lorenne & The Early Birds create a captivating soundscape that goes on a joyful trip down memory lane. Opening with an 8-bit synth riff, the track bursts with a delightful blend of upbeat guitars and charming video game-like synth lines, infusing the song with a playful atmosphere. The driving drums keep the energy soaring, while Lucy Lorenne's absolutely adorable vocals and heartfelt lyricism add a touch of innocence and sincerity to the mix. Effortlessly weaving together the catchy 8-bit elements with infectious indie-pop hooks, the track is a mixed bag of emotions that builds to an exhilarating and euphoric chorus.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3-v6Y321PZI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirpCwnaZYogH_xELarayxpc4_oZne2JRWhAidru_fs6nuDnPPUAKAIebniUqNyg1uEwiiH6NYJTatRVzIf4-NSEmfPtZCL3N8uqd_uubWTjfCQWIb6mUgLq7ZqFqrE1ocAOwwabDHkYhuwPzDUkm0gcMAt8t_mPDh2Mpx1ibA2G7soQSI8s16zajYKAO8/s300/Laura%20Groves.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirpCwnaZYogH_xELarayxpc4_oZne2JRWhAidru_fs6nuDnPPUAKAIebniUqNyg1uEwiiH6NYJTatRVzIf4-NSEmfPtZCL3N8uqd_uubWTjfCQWIb6mUgLq7ZqFqrE1ocAOwwabDHkYhuwPzDUkm0gcMAt8t_mPDh2Mpx1ibA2G7soQSI8s16zajYKAO8/s1600/Laura%20Groves.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Laura Groves</span></b> – Radio Red (Album).<br /><br />Much of Radio Red, the first full length album Laura Groves has released under her own name, was written, produced and recorded by Groves in her studio, watched over by two radio transmitting towers. “I became very drawn to them and they became like symbols to me; they were always awake, sending their messages, the red lights always came on at night and watched over whatever was going on in my life.” The album deals with themes of communication - missed and intercepted signals, chance meetings, synchronicities, the channels through which we try to express our true feelings, the outside interference that can get in the way and the joy of letting go and allowing the messages to flow freely.<br /><br />Working its way through years of Laura’s life as an artist - early experiences of releasing music, live performance, touring, build up and breakdown, the record was a way to tune in to the many, often conflicting signals of fragmented memories. “I’ve always been very sensitive and open to what’s happening around me, and also struggle with the sheer amount of noise sometimes. There was a radio tower on the hill opposite the house where I grew up - I would look out at the network of streetlights winding up towards it and it all had a sort of mystery to me. It was a kind of escapism and a comfort, with an undertone of melancholy that was hard to put into words. I think that glow, that strange feeling, is what I’m always searching for and exploring through making music and artwork.”<br /><br />This is the wavelength Laura is tuning into and trying to pin down in “Sky at Night” and the “faraway feeling” that she talks about being consumed by in the hymn to miscommunication and determination “Any Day Now”. This faraway feeling makes itself known as the need to open up and show emotion in the chord voicing of “Synchronicity”, true friendship, togetherness and isolation in our online world in “Sarah” and the heartbreak that can come with the breakdown of communication in electric piano love song “I’m Not Crying”. The “Silver Lining” of the final track, which returns to Laura’s early love for fingerpicked guitar, leads us back to the power of the redemptive love that always seems to show up just when everything seems lost.<br /><br />Self-recording and production is a core part of Laura’s songwriting process. “I remember years ago getting hold of some basic recording software and being instantly drawn in. The idea of being able to layer up my voice was a dream, like building an orchestra out of what I had at home.” The passion for home-recording, using the resources available at the time, working through limitations and capturing textures through layering, forms the foundation of Groves’ experimental and off-centre pop music and electrified folk music. The sound world of Radio Red is made up of echoes and snapshots of half-remembered pop songs, piano ballads, chopped up TV theme tunes, ambient synthesized sounds and electronic music; tuning in between channels without fully belonging to any one of them, with the comfort, familiarity and strangeness that can come with hearing voices on the radio.<br /></span><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_nAn4e7QlEqlwL-fVXFyxtcReUmZ9YQRkA" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQFtsaloXUy4lSM7ibMNi8VCog4CnUhc9o5DzYXn0Wkaj2sXKUWV5gX_uB4kFJ493MpU8CfjofQp4-xzR4WvdLhDm2m7oYlFJzzg9iXQmtDifYj3mUckw0S0rd6dKJQL1lP5415_qq1n-TB9Hz5maJQZlmMLHnp1A12AjcMipju9z9h9ZAuwOOwf5IPew/s5100/OraCogan5_credStasiaGarraway.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3400" data-original-width="5100" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQFtsaloXUy4lSM7ibMNi8VCog4CnUhc9o5DzYXn0Wkaj2sXKUWV5gX_uB4kFJ493MpU8CfjofQp4-xzR4WvdLhDm2m7oYlFJzzg9iXQmtDifYj3mUckw0S0rd6dKJQL1lP5415_qq1n-TB9Hz5maJQZlmMLHnp1A12AjcMipju9z9h9ZAuwOOwf5IPew/s320/OraCogan5_credStasiaGarraway.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Stasia Garraway<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ora Cogan </span></b>- Katie Cruel.<br /><br />Experimental singer-songwriter Ora Cogan will release her new album Formless on Aug 25, an LP that finds beauty, absurdity, humor, and unlikely joy in the bleakest of times. Cogan’s smoky, psychedelic approach to gothic country and hazy folk merges with post-punk, groove, psych rock, and traditional balladry.<br /><br />This week Cogan releases "Katie Cruel,” a tragic ballad about a sex worker traveling with light infantry soldiers. ‘Once they called me the roving jewel, now they call me Katie Cruel.’ The haunting track is a defiant, vindicating, feminist proclamation that flips the script on the way women are vilified.<br /><br />Ethereal vocals and a shuffling brush snare lay over a sitar-like guitar pattern to underscore the strength of the lyrical message. "You can demean a woman and call her 'Katie Cruel’," said Cogan. “So what… F if I care!”<br /><br />Formless, finds beauty, absurdity, humor, and unlikely joy in the bleakest of times. Cogan’s smoky, psychedelic approach to gothic country and hazy folk merges with post-punk, groove, psych rock, and traditional balladry. "Katie Cruel" follows the VHS/Super 8 video for the first single “Cowgirl” and the haunting "Dyed."<br /><br />Recorded in mostly off-the-floor takes with rhythm section David Proctor and Finn Smith on analog tape at Vancouver Island’s Risque Disque studio and co-produced by Cogan and Loving’s David Parry, the album features international guest stars including Cormac Mac Diarmada from LANKUM, who plays strings on “Feel Life,” and a duet with Y La Bamba on “Ways of Losing.”</span><br /><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EEgMlBnNkWo" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiRZ-dy_4dT2xJqo4iSkCyNmvx4dRJi883Znk5o33mOzGNoGiXox3BN70VyJX2iNWN8fFdED121GigyuzUhvyrR4_EMOLNtbwl053Gj02MgeqjLyGaidwQNbqoMqsQCMbkXJw3FS8hbuQo4AgOzeVXIa7E2awAO1hzURgnU9el9SZiN1wMKFT5l6XBcUo/s4896/Echo%20Ladies%20press%20photo%20by%20Albin%20Bogren.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4896" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiRZ-dy_4dT2xJqo4iSkCyNmvx4dRJi883Znk5o33mOzGNoGiXox3BN70VyJX2iNWN8fFdED121GigyuzUhvyrR4_EMOLNtbwl053Gj02MgeqjLyGaidwQNbqoMqsQCMbkXJw3FS8hbuQo4AgOzeVXIa7E2awAO1hzURgnU9el9SZiN1wMKFT5l6XBcUo/s320/Echo%20Ladies%20press%20photo%20by%20Albin%20Bogren.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Echo Ladies</span></b> - Coming Home.<br /><br />Last month, Malmö, Sweden shoegaze/dreampop trio Echo Ladies announced that they have signed to Rama Lama Records/Gazehop Records and will release their second album Lillies on 8th September 2023.<br /><br />Commenting on the track, the band say: “‘This song is heavily inspired by two of our favourite bands, A Place To Bury Strangers and The Jesus & Mary Chain. Our aim was to make the song feel like a big wave of noise, feedback and guitars that hits you in the face. Can’t remember how many layers of fuzzed and distorted guitars are on this track, but it’s maaany.”<br /><br />Echo Ladies are Matilda Bogren, Mattis Andersson and Joar Andersén—three school-friends who, after playing together in a few different bands, realised that they worked best on their own. In 2014, after looking for “a name that represented our sound”, they became Echo Ladies, partly inspired by the name of the drum machine from another of their favourite bands, Echo & The Bunnymen (though their own drum machine, for now, remains nameless).<br /><br />Following a quiet spell for the band while the rest of the world turned upside down, Echo Ladies are now proudly returning with their second album Lillies, recorded and mastered by Joakim Lindberg at Studio Sickan in Malmö, and following on from their acclaimed 2018 debut Pink Noise on Sonic Cathedral, which was one of Rough Trade’s albums of the year.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-BSzv9n-h0g" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-78788566069362732542023-08-09T19:19:00.000+01:002023-08-09T19:19:08.006+01:00Tiiva - Enny Owl - Steep Canyon Rangers <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzrgGvByg8nmGrH08pY6RJXYrUq9DF06DOnC4eEVfL03vmA2hmlEoY1F4DhWo7CR_7RQlie7MIN6Uf_YmQpg-a_tvvixHij3C1NKa_2LsjAVgS2MPrP_AeUwTJYG8MzCWKOXvfijjEBslDm2jEN6gYGM-Elxl4cnoxMd9A-O3TKrXPFa5W8oCMtx7qOGA/s3000/tiiva.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="3000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzrgGvByg8nmGrH08pY6RJXYrUq9DF06DOnC4eEVfL03vmA2hmlEoY1F4DhWo7CR_7RQlie7MIN6Uf_YmQpg-a_tvvixHij3C1NKa_2LsjAVgS2MPrP_AeUwTJYG8MzCWKOXvfijjEBslDm2jEN6gYGM-Elxl4cnoxMd9A-O3TKrXPFa5W8oCMtx7qOGA/s320/tiiva.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Tiiva</span></b> - Fireflies.<br /><br />Immersive and captivating, Fireflies takes shape as a love letter to London.

Going to the big city to find my identity was a beautiful awakening and I felt like I needed to write this love song to the place that helped me.<br /><br />The new single arrives as the follow up to Cellophane which came out back in June in collaboration with Polly Scattergood.

Writing songs with humbling transparency, Tiiva’s fearless approach to music has resonated with many, already scooping support from the likes of Clash, DIVA, Them., The Line of Best Fit, Wonderland and many more.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uMjAsWbheB8" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNI6C8BSr7AiIOFEdZmp_QB20FpzbohKP27NltDz5yCPLxBmdzUquhkkEzpp40LSAVA8BFvm3pzegacycvRineGo0MMKLdXjpesBhR-EAkkfEGYa_RpPW_U1pFE0XKBVsMNJiz-76A-q4IUeVyoFzVZORpaw4ye3kZxmyvNihjaJ6gMOrSkdlE489UrD8/s2936/Press%20Photo%20%231%20-%20Credit%20to%20Paula%20Crichton.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1652" data-original-width="2936" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNI6C8BSr7AiIOFEdZmp_QB20FpzbohKP27NltDz5yCPLxBmdzUquhkkEzpp40LSAVA8BFvm3pzegacycvRineGo0MMKLdXjpesBhR-EAkkfEGYa_RpPW_U1pFE0XKBVsMNJiz-76A-q4IUeVyoFzVZORpaw4ye3kZxmyvNihjaJ6gMOrSkdlE489UrD8/s320/Press%20Photo%20%231%20-%20Credit%20to%20Paula%20Crichton.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Paula Crichton<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Enny Owl </span></b>- Nicolette.<br /><br />The British-born, Los Angeles-based musician Enny Owl is thrilled to announce her forthcoming album, Homes in Humans, set for release November 3, 2023 on Weird Sister Records. Alongside the album announcement comes the full-length’s lead single, “Nicolette,” and its beautiful accompanying music video, directed by Paula Crichton. The ethereal siren song that is Enny Owl’s voice is fantastical throughout the new song, replete with dazzling harmonies and a plethora of fascinating instrumentation backing her up, and lyrics readymade to fend off all the dark forces in your life.<br /><br />Speaking on the themes of the song, Enny says “This song is about the fear of opening up after being hurt so many times before. It’s for the quiet and gentle hearted. “Nicolette” is a reminder to be brave enough to find the strength and magic that was within you all along.”<br /><br />Homes in Humans is a concept album based on the overall theme of healing and finding oneself. During the lockdown in March of 2020, Enny connected with her listeners by asking them to submit their names and what was on their mind at the time. She created different songs inspired by each response. Homes in Humans sees the singer-songwriter expand upon some of those songs to create a cinematic collection. Musically, the album explores a combination of Enny’s folksy storytelling roots, her love for the celtic/fantasy soundscape, and an experimental nod to pop music.</span><br /><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rLD6HbBu5_c" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXhI3Wyqjt7QrTOlwb7O_Q5l0yeMXJCq6onCpq8q2_get7FPyKeSleuSa2YAqh5EmENkljWRvXfNNeZxv0Xrb03t0RWv2Jq-6cx7C4cE-ZP9tTG0tn99WB7wp99qkyl_NTq33uvX6SsnZTGJQWG2jhSXY4yPfzp-0fyJm-Yksmd86FyZc9jurksp68QQk/s1000/steep-canyon-rangers-10-22-66-fxd.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXhI3Wyqjt7QrTOlwb7O_Q5l0yeMXJCq6onCpq8q2_get7FPyKeSleuSa2YAqh5EmENkljWRvXfNNeZxv0Xrb03t0RWv2Jq-6cx7C4cE-ZP9tTG0tn99WB7wp99qkyl_NTq33uvX6SsnZTGJQWG2jhSXY4yPfzp-0fyJm-Yksmd86FyZc9jurksp68QQk/s320/steep-canyon-rangers-10-22-66-fxd.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Steep Canyon Rangers</span></b> - Recommend Me.<br /><br />Asheville, NC - Many a great tune has been inspired by a more long-form literary work—Zeppelin’s “Ramble On,” “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane, and Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights,” to name just a few. Now, North Carolina’s Steep Canyon Rangers are the latest to add their names to that list with “Recommend Me,” their latest single from an upcoming album entitled Morning Shift.<br /><br />The song’s co-writer and lead vocalist, Rangers’ banjo man Graham Sharp, remembers its origins clearly: “My friend Wiley Cash wrote a wonderful book called When Ghosts Come Home. He sent me a copy of it and asked if there were any songs that I might find in the story.” Luckily, Sharp and co-conspirator (and newest Steep Canyon Ranger) Aaron Burdett chiseled out a tender, album-closing song inspired by When Ghosts Come Home’s father-daughter relationship. With Sharp on guitar instead of his usual 5-string banjo, “Recommend Me” evolves from a finger-picked solo piece to a full, classic-Rangers sound; the refrain a charming reassurance from once character to the other. “When they start talking you'll defend me / When the roll is called you'll recommend me.”<br /><br />“Recommend Me” is the latest single from Steep Canyon Rangers’ upcoming album, Morning Shift—due out September 8th on Yep Roc Records. Produced by the distinguished Darrell Scott and engineered by the legendary Dave Sinko, Morning Shift found the Rangers recording their 14th studio album in Bat Cave, North Carolina, at the Inn Bat Cave, a historical refuge settled near a long-forgotten crossroads of Southern Appalachia. This was the perfect space to feel confident in expanding upon that Carolina sound, the perfect runway to let their well-oiled machine do what it does best- craft stories from the ground up, as a unit. “It was like going to recording camp,” said Scott, “We ate together, we stayed at the Inn together the whole time, and we recorded. Going about it that way made for a very organic record. We had a great engineer with Dave Sinko, who could in essence create a studio space in a rustic, historic home.”</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/moPlwNew_xw" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-87018187733684008842023-08-08T19:16:00.000+01:002023-08-08T19:16:17.490+01:00Chloey Rose - Saveria <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeNhkjqRQ0v1LtkS0sSTEgBY0-7HlTb2P_msLbFCwm8l2ncHMuqO7zW1R153YUmdvII-seguAYh6iLIZD113WgVIG0SuaZ1zXW4vjyTSJaMmk_8f0rjOFVSWsKnggIRkiP2NFThWFKQdLxNm9z8lFVCzjX-JJ3mCS4MC0Jg8Mhgi0J5GW2oSMRfqKGtSk/s1049/chloey%20rose.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="702" data-original-width="1049" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeNhkjqRQ0v1LtkS0sSTEgBY0-7HlTb2P_msLbFCwm8l2ncHMuqO7zW1R153YUmdvII-seguAYh6iLIZD113WgVIG0SuaZ1zXW4vjyTSJaMmk_8f0rjOFVSWsKnggIRkiP2NFThWFKQdLxNm9z8lFVCzjX-JJ3mCS4MC0Jg8Mhgi0J5GW2oSMRfqKGtSk/s320/chloey%20rose.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Chloey Rose</span></b> - Shot You Down.<br /><br />Delivering powerful pop songs with a theatrical twist, Chloey Rose has been captivating audiences at major venues up and down the UK and in Europe with her dramatic, soaring vocals that have attracted comparisons to Adele and Paloma Faith.<br /><br />Drawing inspiration from Kate Bush and Taylor Swift, Chloey has just released brand new single ‘Shot You Down’, an edgy pop ballad full of dark sounds that could become the theme tune for the next James Bond Movie.<br /><br />‘Shot You Down’ follows the story of being in an unhealthy relationship and the strength it can take to walk away. Written by Chloey Rose and produced by Aron Bicskey, the track builds from smoky late night piano atmospheres to become a powerful anthem for getting up again once you’ve been cut down, with a nod to Nancy Sinatra’s classic track ‘Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)’.<br /><br />As a songwriter, Rose’s debut single ‘Golden Dreams’ was released in 2016, followed by a string of singles including ‘Hearts On The Line’, which was named Track Of The Week on BBC Radio Lincolnshire and A Best Track of 2021. Not only, a talented singer-songwriter, Rose was a finalist in Miss Lincolnshire in 2018/19 and has also been cutting her acting chops, with the leading role as Ruth Ellis in ‘The Thrill of Love’ and as Leading lady Nina in the BBC’s ‘First World War Musical Show’, amongst numerous other stage and TV appearances.<br /><br />The video for ‘Shot You Down’ sees Chloey on neon-lit streets in the twilight hours as she searches for answers. The track weaves its hypnotic repeating refrains around her, growing and growing with intensity as she works through her emotions. “I’ll paint your name all over this town”, Chloey sings in this epically woven ballad which combines big production values with raw feelings to really work its way under the listener’s skin.</span><br /><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xzH0cITturs" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5K-ef63BKC-YQI2rqVa4czfmCDEuWXEsT8MUb-8ArZqaI8Uyl15p75faFW6EB9e0jz-rxOuRthwXZx_6HKWhs4DTiYx4r0kTgolT8rz1jsnPNcTw6jjkavhukiHySlu2YR5dCNnDH8JiGl1071RfGFCaAreSscu8z-zQUa7qnhmtACUBfA3tz3NEAlXM/s965/Saveria%20.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="965" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5K-ef63BKC-YQI2rqVa4czfmCDEuWXEsT8MUb-8ArZqaI8Uyl15p75faFW6EB9e0jz-rxOuRthwXZx_6HKWhs4DTiYx4r0kTgolT8rz1jsnPNcTw6jjkavhukiHySlu2YR5dCNnDH8JiGl1071RfGFCaAreSscu8z-zQUa7qnhmtACUBfA3tz3NEAlXM/s320/Saveria%20.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Saveria</span></b> - mosaic.<br /><br />Get ready to be amazed as Canada's own Saveria takes the world by storm with her mind-blowing vocals and ground-breaking style!

Her poetic lyrics, in tandem with the atmospheric sounds of her vocals, acoustic guitar, and musical compositions, appeal to a diverse, multi-generational audience. Born and raised in Woodstock, NY, Stella, who is nearing the end of her teenage years, is now living in Nashville.<br /><br />Stella Prince’s musical influences span decades—from country and folk music’s renowned voices of Judy Garland, Karen Carpenter, Patsy Cline, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton; to the pop icon Taylor Swift. Think Country Press says, “Imagine the perfect mixture of Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Judy Collins all packed into one young musician.”<br /><br />Stella independently released her 8th single, “Two Faced,” on August 4. For this newest single, Stella had the pleasure of working with Steve Fishell, a Nashville-based pedal steel guitarist, Grammy-winning record producer, and educator [Dolly Parton, John Prine, Mavis Staples, Emmylou Harris].<br /><br />“No one sings like Stella Prince,” says Fishell. “I was transported the first time I heard her and I bet you will be too.”<br /><br />Emotionally moving from the start, accentuated by Fishell’s pedal steel, with the harrowing opening lines, “You got her right where you wanted… Lonely enough so she’d take the bait… Blinded by words that were only an empty promise… Desperation paves way for mistakes.” The heart of the song is in the chorus: ‘There’s all kinds of empty… but the hardest one to take… is lies that seem tempting… Loneliness is two faced.’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EFfn1OWY9lg" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibSAgmh1W37_Yv5rRI0sBgmFqt6Qke6cUw4J8wn7cRP1PoK66dmfxRbQG9vsQIHqvqtxjqb9xMOr6xZD7lPD6vxzyAITNZgnubFoMoZhmfGsAap3Lxcr1_7S8vBysprOR5y5Zo6aF83jHTMP7gbf792IhscKTZGpQPEdnkIQ9BxqVB6UojggIPcuDe0jc/s1000/luluc.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="996" data-original-width="1000" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibSAgmh1W37_Yv5rRI0sBgmFqt6Qke6cUw4J8wn7cRP1PoK66dmfxRbQG9vsQIHqvqtxjqb9xMOr6xZD7lPD6vxzyAITNZgnubFoMoZhmfGsAap3Lxcr1_7S8vBysprOR5y5Zo6aF83jHTMP7gbf792IhscKTZGpQPEdnkIQ9BxqVB6UojggIPcuDe0jc/s320/luluc.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Luluc</span></b> - Moonbeam.<br /><br />Community Music is excited to share another gorgeous song and video from Luluc out today! The video for Moonbeam was directed by Giraffe Studios who also created the immensely beautiful video for latest single 'Diamonds'.<br /><br />“Moonbeam” captures in just over two minutes the calm essence of a Sunday morning, one scored with sparse arrangements, a touch of melancholia and singer Zoe Randell’s velveteen vocal melody. With cello offering a subtle countermelody, she moves with the understated grace of Nico on the first Velvet Underground album, especially when Randell lingers on the phrase, “There is happiness to find.” Her phrasing exudes warmth, as if she’s assuring herself in a moment of doubt.<br /><br />Zoe speaks on Moonbeam, “None of us knows when our time is up. And in order to know, when time does come, when that bell does toll, that I have put my energies and attention towards the right things, taken care of and appreciated the right things, is a daily art and practice. And one I hope to master. Under this moon, under this sun.”<br /><br />The release of Moonbeam comes shortly after the announcement of new album Diamonds alongside the release of the title-track. In just over a month ‘Diamonds’ has amassed over 300k streams across platforms, and is getting consistent airplay across a number of radio stations in the US. </span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C464mRDuwz8" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-77485701305970384972023-08-05T19:30:00.000+01:002023-08-05T19:30:29.354+01:00Jill Andrews - Burr Island - Megan Wyn <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHbsaIhkV2ctpYxy7YJzxC92Qk4YseD7fIFNFKT088hm1uW5b_fXbBQOR-4GIr3HHr67YuaWHtehbU9oePTedtlT8eEQ04Z9rs539tulvtcTK_l0fJI_qoUfkqf2V9MhcPtAVB52_7Rck1iEuO4AmTobd-l6iozA9t9868jrCLHOYWqb6wuyl8Rbp55Vs/s2688/jill%20andrews.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1792" data-original-width="2688" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHbsaIhkV2ctpYxy7YJzxC92Qk4YseD7fIFNFKT088hm1uW5b_fXbBQOR-4GIr3HHr67YuaWHtehbU9oePTedtlT8eEQ04Z9rs539tulvtcTK_l0fJI_qoUfkqf2V9MhcPtAVB52_7Rck1iEuO4AmTobd-l6iozA9t9868jrCLHOYWqb6wuyl8Rbp55Vs/s320/jill%20andrews.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Jill Andrews</span></b> - 80's Baby.<br /><br />Ahead of her anticipated new album Modern Age arriving on August 18th, Nashville singer-songwriter Jill Andrews has released her new single "80's Baby." With the slow burning nostalgic leadoff track, Andrews remarks with wistfulness on just how different the world has come to be since the days of making mixtapes and cruising the cul-de-sacs.<br /><br />Of the new single, Andrews said “I grew up in a small town in East Tennessee. We lived in middle class suburbia with green lawns, fenced dogs, and nice neighbors for the most part. If my homework was done, I had freedom to run around the neighborhood and explore with my friends. Friday night was a trip to Blockbuster and The Dairy Queen for a couple chocolate dipped cones for my brother and I. My family would all gather on the couch with a bowl of popcorn to watch the latest Indiana Jones movie. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As a child, I loved the feeling of togetherness with my friends and family. My life was centered around other people. In writing this song, I was comparing my experience of childhood to my own children’s. There has been more isolation in their experiences brought on by the pandemic and by the proliferation of personal devices. Now kids can be entertained at every moment. The outdoors isn’t as exciting as watching television or playing video games. There isn’t as much time to dream and create. It makes me miss the simplicity of my childhood and wish that I could go back in time a few decades and take my kids with me.”<br /><br />Standing at the intersection of memory lane and tomorrow, Modern Age is an ode to simpler times, an album that goes beyond nostalgia to veneration of what were to so many, the golden years. It’s a stunning reflection on how far we’ve all come, but one that leaves the listener wondering about the price of “progress.” Produced by Lucas Morton at 4115 Studios, it features ten tracks that range from anthemic, pop dreams with ethereal synths and rich vocals, to intimate acoustic confessions. It’s a meditation on childhood and changing times, growing up and looking back. In moments, the epitome of 90s pop perfection with airy synths and shimmering vocals and in others, pared down and heart-wrenchingly intimate, Modern Age is dripping in reverence for a simpler time, when the world was as big as your high school, when love was waiting by the phone, when we wondered about the future instead of lived in it. With addictive melodies that evoke Susannah Hoffs and Kate Bush, Modern Age is at once a time capsule of and a love letter to the places we all began.</span><br /></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zXM49ItoIC4" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU3-b6cw83hoZa--AFTQAMpjhcdR8luUuyLYw0D0K2rMei1FajH4PmcHqJ1yLEgI-SAhQPDnyD9UTex2qbzCVohy5oKzlFTFDCebW3TeSMMOxuLGT6d8Jj2JlBAvYeA5S7-xdYO2gBWPSmuAnp0B6pUqKa8Tr_bN5ctps0kaxpJ_3Ac21gty9HQOY8pzU/s958/burr%20i.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="639" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU3-b6cw83hoZa--AFTQAMpjhcdR8luUuyLYw0D0K2rMei1FajH4PmcHqJ1yLEgI-SAhQPDnyD9UTex2qbzCVohy5oKzlFTFDCebW3TeSMMOxuLGT6d8Jj2JlBAvYeA5S7-xdYO2gBWPSmuAnp0B6pUqKa8Tr_bN5ctps0kaxpJ_3Ac21gty9HQOY8pzU/s320/burr%20i.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Burr Island</span></b> - English Roses.<br /><br />From the UK’s West Country, Burr Island are duo and best friends, Tom England and Oskar Porter. After garnering support from Mark Radcliffe at BBC Radio 2 for their second single, ‘Nunney Town’, Burr Island dive into more political waters with their third release, ‘English Roses’.<br /><br />Having harnessed a core following round the Glastonbury type fields of yore, Burr Island have brought comparison to the iconic Simon & Garfunkel, however, their originals and equally introspective lyrics bring new meaning to that golden era of San Francisco ‘happening’ hippie spirit, as channelled through their beloved West Country, as they take you on their own Burr Island; an intimate, melodic journey and state, in search of meaning and humane value.<br /><br />‘English Roses’ is a folk song about xenophobia and how growing up in small towns, the duo saw the insidiousness of unconscious racism, notably during Brexit when there was so much hostility in the air. “You only grow English roses, calling the other flowers weeds”. Now, with the government forcing this cruel rhetoric again, with ‘STOP THE BOATS’, aiming to divide us once more, Burr Island look to remind us that there is an inherent commonality among humans.<br /><br />Recorded at Kundalini Studios in Devon and produced by Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene/Paul Weller/The Specials/P.P. Arnold), ‘English Roses’ encases its politically charged lyrics in a sentimental and warm vintage sound, which builds from its poignant beginnings to powerful and thought-provoking heights. It’s a classic sound but with the duo’s perfect heartfelt harmonies echoing important social and political issues of our modern era.<br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o73cnLtLvFw" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span><p></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRD7F8P9yTHdvHXD6vxQJno8Tl3_0nFR68BqYxnvBaa3Y9lifc461DA8pPtmkbC7ySIOI4H6FqO0i0bwfn2Q3V8eMLJLHcLPF1VTmMb6xp2Rwco0xlLCBUVcl22TJ_2Hyi1eTeMPRBRpTfyhwtnoeOe09N-2zijzOCkklZ39IX-HaRzayog0fz2ztm7GM/s6000/megyn%20w%20pic%20Sam_Crowston.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRD7F8P9yTHdvHXD6vxQJno8Tl3_0nFR68BqYxnvBaa3Y9lifc461DA8pPtmkbC7ySIOI4H6FqO0i0bwfn2Q3V8eMLJLHcLPF1VTmMb6xp2Rwco0xlLCBUVcl22TJ_2Hyi1eTeMPRBRpTfyhwtnoeOe09N-2zijzOCkklZ39IX-HaRzayog0fz2ztm7GM/s320/megyn%20w%20pic%20Sam_Crowston.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Megan Wyn</span></b> - You Don't Get It.<br /><br />They say no artist's journey is the same. And in the case of Megan Wyn that statement could not be more true. Megan has been playing festivals and shows on the circuit since she was 16. At the ripe age of 18 she has already done the toilet tour more than most musicians ten years her senior, thanks to the kind help of her mum, Nerys.<br /><br />It is rare that an artist's first single release comes after sets at The Great Escape, Truck Festival, Y Not and Isle Of Wight Festival. Especially when they completed their debut headline tour earlier in the year. But no story is the same.<br /><br /> An old head on young shoulders, Megan rightly feels that she has reached her starting point. With live experiences already in the bag, it was just a matter of honing her sound and landing on something that was truly representative of herself. It's also true that moving from her native Anglesey just off the Welsh coast, to her now home of Manchester at the age of 16, would have helped Megan develop not only as a musician but most importantly as a woman.<br /><br />Megan grew up wanting exactly what she has now, the ability to put pen to paper and have songs fall out of her, to play shows to packed out venues in Manchester, as well as, elsewhere. And most importantly, play the festivals she probably would have attended anyway. 'You Don't Get It', sounds like a cut from the Ayoade classic, Submarine. It is a quintessentially British sounding record full of hope and desperation in equal measure.</span><br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zudtcgy63uY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-29260822476570408432023-08-04T19:26:00.000+01:002023-08-04T19:26:23.753+01:00Born Days - Sandy Bailey - Ribs - Lindsay Lou <p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE4Jsi0x5fFYesqQSJ3QaelyQwznF9jqr0cFF0fhQImo8X7tZWup0I2ZnsPWtIAvwbZu0T8C1l_FFAbNjGKKd0UoL1FbNQszZohVWdCsfESgHv4d2ytqvsV5aMvdOCgeBNdPHow40iwTHjbRTcyGtfBXp92-R0o9bfyViNZaxTk5vtQIdLhn9SpDK_n9k/s4072/BORN_DAYS_4_Photo_by_Erica_Contreras.png" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3087" data-original-width="4072" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE4Jsi0x5fFYesqQSJ3QaelyQwznF9jqr0cFF0fhQImo8X7tZWup0I2ZnsPWtIAvwbZu0T8C1l_FFAbNjGKKd0UoL1FbNQszZohVWdCsfESgHv4d2ytqvsV5aMvdOCgeBNdPHow40iwTHjbRTcyGtfBXp92-R0o9bfyViNZaxTk5vtQIdLhn9SpDK_n9k/s320/BORN_DAYS_4_Photo_by_Erica_Contreras.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Erica Contreras<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Born Days</span></b> - My Little Dark.<br /><br />Born Days is the conceptual darkwave synth-pop project from Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter, and producer Melissa Harris. Her first full-length album My Little Dark is set to release on October 6, 2023, through AudioSport Records.<br /><br />Candidly vulnerable and emotionally complex, My Little Dark is a concept album that draws inspiration from the confessional poetry of Sylvia Plath and the childlike innocence of Dr. Seuss to narrate a mystical, sci-fi, coming-of-age, adventure of a young woman trying to survive the psychological limitations she has placed on her own reality. Mystical and melancholic, Harris’s ethereal voice escapes into dark symphonic soundscapes driven by dreamy, synth-heavy polyrhythms that paint a cinematic electronic pop soundtrack soaked in moody, hazy textures.<br /><br />Drawing influences from alternative, darkwave, dreampop, and goth culture, Harris plays with a sonic palette of soft, dark, and dusty tones that mix elements of grunge, post-punk, neo-psychedelia, shoegaze, and modern pop. Deeply nostalgic and profoundly personal, My Little Dark explores Harris’s struggles with mental illness, trauma, and destructive cycling. Her distinctively soft and sweet voice is saturated with otherworldly essence that explodes into apocalyptic crescendos and escapes into ghostly innocence. Harris’s songs are brilliantly enchanting and sonically dripping with haunted textures, little spirits from the ether, and dystopian landscapes that leave you longing for a more innocent and beautiful time.<br /><br />My Little Dark is a project that has been several years and several thousand miles in the making. Harris began making experimental music under the name Born Days in 2017 as a way to express herself, process her memories, and heal from the complexities of trauma to reconnect with the purity and innocence that is part of the innate order of nature. After receiving critical acclaim on her first two self-released EPs from Bandcamp, Chicago Tribune, Destroy//Exist, and Audiotree, she went on to perform live sets and music festivals with globally recognized talent like Neggy Gemmy, George Clanton, Kedr Livanskiy, and Caroline Polachek.</span><p></p><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1525371457&color=%239e354c&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe><div style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Interstate, Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Garuda, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: 100; line-break: anywhere; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; word-break: normal;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/borndays" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Born Days">Born Days</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/borndays/my-little-dark" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="My Little Dark">My Little Dark</a></div><div style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Interstate, Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Garuda, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: 100; line-break: anywhere; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; word-break: normal;"> </div><p>======================================================================<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMGKdT2S2Ha6mHCSkZGol77U2TGk_RVZXxqczZ-6kScpARMJBb--2akJS-a5KzA7RAQEE1kid6rc_2gBlkNzUXhWD_3yN71lUdVSEv-5Ity9SsqlDjgS-zWkSRGdbXWPpB-7uMHVG05EY1cjoH0BF_8XHgcJdpyKg8veA7H0eTdn2NJ9vvojPsOgwvmo/s6140/sandy%20b.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6140" data-original-width="4912" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMGKdT2S2Ha6mHCSkZGol77U2TGk_RVZXxqczZ-6kScpARMJBb--2akJS-a5KzA7RAQEE1kid6rc_2gBlkNzUXhWD_3yN71lUdVSEv-5Ity9SsqlDjgS-zWkSRGdbXWPpB-7uMHVG05EY1cjoH0BF_8XHgcJdpyKg8veA7H0eTdn2NJ9vvojPsOgwvmo/s320/sandy%20b.jpeg" width="256" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Sandy Bailey </span></b>- I Ain't Your Honey.<br /><br />Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter Sandy Bailey has unveiled “I Ain’t Your Honey,” a sassy new track from her forthcoming LP, Daughter Of Abraham, out August 18th viaRed Parlor Records.<br /><br />“The impact of the digital age on our social interactions is a topic that’s often circling around in my brain,” explains Bailey. “It really is bizarre to me the way we connect through our online personas. It gets especially weird when it involves internet dating. I’m fascinated by the packaging and wrapping paper we put on ourselves when we are seeking true intimacy. I wrote an earlier version of this song that had the lyric ‘I’m never crying in my pictures.’ My friends and I have gone on our share of Tinder dates and at best we would be able to laugh about how they went afterward,” she continues. “I often wonder how different things would be if our dating profiles had a list of our personality flaws and photos of our morning hair rather than our prettiest scenes and best angles.”<br /><br />“I Ain’t Your Honey” follows title track “Daughter Of Abraham,” in which Bailey channels her ancestors for a tale about a former slave walking to freedom along the Underground Railroad, and “Get The Message Through,” about the irony of the current environment that we live in, where we are more connected than ever through the internet but also lonelier than ever.<br /><br />”The depth of Bailey’s songwriting stems from her life and identity as a biracial woman and single mother who abandoned a Pentecostal upbringing in favor of a life of art-making and rock n’ roll. Her sound has often been compared to acts like Norah Jones, Patsy Cline, and Susan Tedeschi, though the upcoming 10-song collection, expertly produced by Bailey, showcases her bolder, more idiosyncratic attention to detail.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ogEja1bsRog" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HYHhgDHuTnGrPjnu7psJ_zu_mE1tMJkKX0JO0T7TvOuKOE1ZET-j-Q5T31xzhhMO8O0_b5ummN7VIlREFTSpgQQuJ3DAxMwGC8eabORVO8mMWWdqxhVq4ZcaHowJu9pNe1kAOpKfZnDYtkhm7EbuvD25z5ZGsX-fYe7p45wwibWKNxfaEG4JomLJEzU/s2000/%5BPress-Image-1-Square%5D-Ribs_July-2023---Grace-Sanders---Ribs-Music.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HYHhgDHuTnGrPjnu7psJ_zu_mE1tMJkKX0JO0T7TvOuKOE1ZET-j-Q5T31xzhhMO8O0_b5ummN7VIlREFTSpgQQuJ3DAxMwGC8eabORVO8mMWWdqxhVq4ZcaHowJu9pNe1kAOpKfZnDYtkhm7EbuvD25z5ZGsX-fYe7p45wwibWKNxfaEG4JomLJEzU/s320/%5BPress-Image-1-Square%5D-Ribs_July-2023---Grace-Sanders---Ribs-Music.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ribs</span></b> - Claws.<br /><br />Ribs, the Boorloo-based (Perth, AUS) indie-pop band known for creating honest and expressive music, Have released their latest single, 'Claws', today Friday, August 4. With a passion for connecting with others on topics that are often challenging to discuss, such as mental health, social power constructs, and healing from trauma, Ribs delivers a clashing and cathartic anthem that explores the journey of healing from intimate partner violence.<br /><br />Originally conceived as a solo, stripped-back lyrical piano project by Georgina Cramond, Ribs received critical acclaim and emotional responses from audiences in her one-woman music and storytelling show, 'Interrupting a Crisis'.<br /><br />Driven by a desire for collaboration and connection with other artists, Cramond found like-minded creatives to join the project, resulting in the dynamic four-piece band that exists today, with each member contributing to Ribs' authentic songwriting, supported by vibrant, immersive sounds.<br /><br />Now, 'Claws' is Ribs' heaviest release to date, both in terms of content and sound. The song serves as a powerful anthem for those who have endured abuse and have embarked on a journey of healing from intimate partner violence. Drawing from her own lived experience, Georgina Cramond's poignant songwriting delves into the pain, anger, and growth that are intertwined with this transformative process.<br /><br />Cramond shares, "Growing claws is about learning what you will no longer accept, how anger can be a protective and productive force, and regaining control over the jagged parts of your history." Her guarded vocals in the verses are contrasted by a commanding, hardened chorus, where she screams out, "I grew claws", to reclaim her own power and control in her life.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UhTnVNwFCvs" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkl7W5VqIcmSCLEZALnFbchR2h00XMUjp-DelwE1zJYM_maqy0DyWsP1bJkGJR8ZwTBQcGnq8CCvxRbC2kLQJLwV5FI6JGOsv1fFsTvOOPCIoOviTOf7gGV5LVcmGbYZAm79uMRdCrqGVQnVysGn-IgauRJzjGyOipR74sfwjILp-6tJZgXEQHzlixwHw/s6720/lindsay%20lou.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4480" data-original-width="6720" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkl7W5VqIcmSCLEZALnFbchR2h00XMUjp-DelwE1zJYM_maqy0DyWsP1bJkGJR8ZwTBQcGnq8CCvxRbC2kLQJLwV5FI6JGOsv1fFsTvOOPCIoOviTOf7gGV5LVcmGbYZAm79uMRdCrqGVQnVysGn-IgauRJzjGyOipR74sfwjILp-6tJZgXEQHzlixwHw/s320/lindsay%20lou.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Lindsay Lou</span></b> - Shame.<br /><br />Lindsay Lou shares the dreamy new single “Shame” from her forthcoming album Queen of Time, out September 29 on Kill Rock Stars Nashville. Featuring an anthemic solo from Grammy-winning guitar virtuoso Billy Strings, the song and its accompanying music video highlight the album’s continued theme of duality. “Shame” challenges the notion that we should hide any part of ourselves and celebrates the multitudes women contain.<br /><br />"I don’t think shame does us any favors,” says Lindsay Lou. “There’s this lie that’s been passed down and around that we need shame, that it keeps us safe or something. I'm calling bullshit on that. We contain multitudes, and each aspect is as deserving of love as the next.” She continues, “May we all embrace the balance of feminine and masculine aspects in our nature. May we reclaim our own self-expression and uncouple ourselves from systems that aim to oppress or cast shadows of shame on the beauty of our bodies."<br /><br />After the loss of her grandmother, the end of her marriage, and the overwhelming turmoil of COVID lockdowns, Lou sought out a hallucinogenic ritual that would not only inform the way she processed the waves of grief ahead of her, but led to a profound realization about her own feminine power. With a new vision of womanhood in mind, she began to see a throughline from her grandmother, to herself, to the art she was creating. Queen of Time is the result of that deeply personal spiritual journey, unfolding across eleven tracks of tender, heartbreakingly beautiful music. Lou has previously shared two singles from the album, including the title track “Queen of Time” and the folk-pop ballad “Nothing Else Matters” featuring Grammy Award-winner Jerry Douglas.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m-A3rEIb6nk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-67703110990481020442023-08-03T19:44:00.001+01:002023-08-03T19:44:51.540+01:00Soft Science - Sloppy Heads - The Connells <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfCQEu6LE7Cc-c1iqh6cbm0JqZAoyi0rj5j3T0Y4xI8aen6N5P_XyZa0MuyumTTY3gog99TcqxeL9ceubcDLUeIfC6REcojUnN7scXdalEal0aL1EWZf1fKtl6NtD61epXmo5FA35FVEzuZgFJK8nc8zuhlYjznoyZDnRhTnDQCiN0R7RwmBkDF2jWfXU/s800/soft%20s.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="532" data-original-width="800" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfCQEu6LE7Cc-c1iqh6cbm0JqZAoyi0rj5j3T0Y4xI8aen6N5P_XyZa0MuyumTTY3gog99TcqxeL9ceubcDLUeIfC6REcojUnN7scXdalEal0aL1EWZf1fKtl6NtD61epXmo5FA35FVEzuZgFJK8nc8zuhlYjznoyZDnRhTnDQCiN0R7RwmBkDF2jWfXU/s320/soft%20s.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Soft Science</span></b> - Kerosene.<br /><br />Soft Science have just released their new dreampop single "Kerosene" off their upcoming new album 'Lines' on Shelflife (US) / Spinout Nuggets (UK) / Fastcut (Japan).<br /><br />Soft Science began working on their recently completed album Lines in 2019, forging the record in their home studios together and at times in isolation from each other during the height of the pandemic, swapping tracks and making adjustments from a distance for what felt like an eternity. Reuniting in person to finalize the mix created a palpable excitement, an energy that can be felt throughout the record. Lines addresses living and loving within the complexities and challenges of everyday life in our fast-paced digital world.<br /><br />Formed in 2009 by longtime collaborators Katie Haley (Holiday Flyer, California Oranges) and brothers Ross and Matt Levine (Welt, The Tank, California Oranges), the group was later joined by partners Tony and Becky Cale (English Singles, Arts & Leisure), and Hans Munz. With alluring vocals, two 12-string guitars, bass, drums, and synthesizers, the ensemble layers copious melodies, celestial harmonies, and propulsive rhythms with lush electronic soundscapes to create "a sound built to outlast trends" (Chicago Tribune).

The new one's got a stoned and sun-kissed psychedelia that makes it feel like the perfect high summer jam. I've been playing it on repeat and the pleasure gets deeper with each spin of the blissful and patiently dynamic 6-minute track.<br /><br />The band says that "'Try Again' is a meditation on escaping the somnambulance of day-to-day life, of floating away on a breeze and viewing the world from a remove, at peace." Do yourself the pleasure.<br /><br />I hear Sloppy Heads as situating somewhere in a brilliant constellation of spirited rock music adventurer stars like Half Japanese and The Vaselines and The Fugs. The record features contributions from James McNew of Yo La Tengo across all tracks. This music is imbued with a sense of pure adventure and joy that is all at once familiar and totally refreshing. It's music made to be loved.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BHtsuOX4PBU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-pxYVMBpMi6xYlb84EmunQt88oySYtkn9RAR_wDW6p0vBRJQKqt4qk7CIZHprEitn4BjQRcovbzPFYs3_ct8W9JU1ei6VHQoc2En7uEMyNFhyRq2VQEWGxm096pYBymoUVzb2WW9HzcajRkTrSVVVxIk8VRtUffVQkJlxQco8-2r3Qe8SoCejTrw17DY/s3520/connells.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2359" data-original-width="3520" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-pxYVMBpMi6xYlb84EmunQt88oySYtkn9RAR_wDW6p0vBRJQKqt4qk7CIZHprEitn4BjQRcovbzPFYs3_ct8W9JU1ei6VHQoc2En7uEMyNFhyRq2VQEWGxm096pYBymoUVzb2WW9HzcajRkTrSVVVxIk8VRtUffVQkJlxQco8-2r3Qe8SoCejTrw17DY/s320/connells.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Connells</span></b> - Running Mary (Live Acoustic Version).<br /><br />Craft Recordings is celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Connells’ breakthrough album, Ring, with its first widely available vinyl reissue and a bonus-filled CD. Today the group has also shared a previously unheard live acoustic version of “Running Mary” which is featured along with other recently discovered versions of tracks from Ring on this bonus-filled release.<br /><br />"For me the songwriting process can be somewhat accidental..." writes guitarist and songwriter Mike Connell. "And often times, it's only long after the fact that I realize that I really like a song. That was the case with 'Running Mary.' It's become one of my favorite songs to perform live."<br /><br />Long heralded as one of North Carolina’s most successful indie rock bands, The Connells carved out a niche for themselves in the early ‘90s alt-rock scene with their special brand of introspective jangle pop. The band was formed in Raleigh in the early to mid-80s by brothers Mike Connell (vocals, guitar) and David Connell (bass), and soon expanded to include Doug McMillan (vocals), Peele Wimberley (percussion), and George Huntley (guitar, vocals). They played their first show ever in September of 1984, and in 1986, the band released their debut LP, Darker Days, followed by the Mitch Easter-produced Boylan Heights (1987). They continued to build momentum, entering the Billboard 200 with 1989’s Fun & Games and 1990’s One Simple Word, and scoring a string of college radio hits like “Something to Say,” “Stone Cold Yesterday,” and “Get a Gun.”<br /></span><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GUICp7ghgHE" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-42572729714825416912023-08-02T19:31:00.001+01:002023-08-02T19:31:21.954+01:00Sneakpeek - The Kind Hills - Amon Tobin <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ2lp8qZPUdWwH09m1vyZwMSWddetGifZQFu6kS6sDYo0DIYplqRxs9WFJLwFSWAd2HSuMssnVNjVWAevZwZmtP9OiHEcM6Y4TAd188vAF_btUld35Ugmvm2WG9OKbmmBXt6gAb7azS6dbOJONyXa9jzlO2fDyp158luiCGdECYMvL03Yb5hduVmUryV4/s2431/Sneakpeek_GreenLight.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1612" data-original-width="2431" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ2lp8qZPUdWwH09m1vyZwMSWddetGifZQFu6kS6sDYo0DIYplqRxs9WFJLwFSWAd2HSuMssnVNjVWAevZwZmtP9OiHEcM6Y4TAd188vAF_btUld35Ugmvm2WG9OKbmmBXt6gAb7azS6dbOJONyXa9jzlO2fDyp158luiCGdECYMvL03Yb5hduVmUryV4/s320/Sneakpeek_GreenLight.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Sneakpeek</span></b> - Green Light.<br /><br />Los Angeles-based psychedelic synth-pop duo Sneakpeek have shared a video for their single “Green Light.” The track is featured on their long-awaited sophomore album, Scene Within A Dream, which dropped earlier this summer.<br /><br />Discussing the inspiration for “Green Light”, Sneakpeek’s Dora Hiller noted, "I was reflecting on an alien experience I had where I was camping in the middle of nowhere with some friends years ago, where we all saw a bright green shining orb. It circled all around us and then flew away insanely fast through the darkness."<br /><br />Sneakpeek released their self-titled debut album in 2013 on Burger Records, with the LA Times hailing it as a, “noisy nine-track album offering up heavy, druggy guitar riffs that’d make Kurt Vile (or Lou Reed) proud.” While that record combined elements of dream pop with grungy, garage-rock sludge, Scene Within A Dream finds Hiller and Aric Bohn heading in new directions.<br /><br />Surrounded by walls of synthesizers and vintage drum machines in their Glassell Park studio, Dora and Aric leaned into their psychedelic abandonments, pushing their mostly analogue gear to its limits. “We love obscure electronic music from the 70s, 80s + 90s,” notes Hiller, “and wanted to experiment with a new sound that embodied those elements but with our own spin on it.”<br /><br />Throughout Scene Within A Dream, Sneakpeek explores the world of dreams, the mysteries of nature, mortality, magic and manifestation; old Hollywood studios, non linear timelines, synchronicity, and paranormal experiences, leading the listener out onto a surreal, dreamy dancefloor.</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BUyBC3anQkg" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaj_AbvmThsVOu6XZGkEqMiFMZORGfw8KM5ijU7MyqiECBjAs-7vVgEG7iUdf7wzGR-Jg9Qilh05xePGA4A3CH9srYfdZMG2nXIowMm4DaUWEhtTuL8jsmFFWTN489Eoe7CBjifv4zNM1JckbtZT41V2IHs3Vu_xJ2eV6lzU8F-88RWxBT99p6usQcjqg/s3720/kind%20hills.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3720" data-original-width="3720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaj_AbvmThsVOu6XZGkEqMiFMZORGfw8KM5ijU7MyqiECBjAs-7vVgEG7iUdf7wzGR-Jg9Qilh05xePGA4A3CH9srYfdZMG2nXIowMm4DaUWEhtTuL8jsmFFWTN489Eoe7CBjifv4zNM1JckbtZT41V2IHs3Vu_xJ2eV6lzU8F-88RWxBT99p6usQcjqg/s320/kind%20hills.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Kind Hills</span></b> - Clusterluck (Album).<br /><br />The album Clusterluck by The Kind Hills features 10 warm and relaxed indie-tunes that are the perfect soundtrack for a chilled picnic in the countryside, an exhausted or hung-over moment in bed or a long, beautiful road trip. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The band call it 'music to fall asleep to' and they mean that in a positive way.

The band, a cohort of long-standing friends who met while studying in Australia, now create captivating soundscapes from their respective homes worldwide. Their innovative approach to songwriting and recording has given rise to a deeply personal yet universally relatable body of work.

After three European Tours that included an Americanafest-UK showcase and a support slot with Lucinda Williams at the Paradiso in Amsterdam, as well as a 36-date cross-Canadian tour with blues-roots icon Matt Andersen with sold-out stops at Massey Hall and National Arts Centre along the way, The Hello Darlins are just getting started.<br /><br />The latest taste of their new music is the single “Don’t You Fall,” an upbeat, radio-friendly track that showcases Candace’s unmistakable vocals. The song delivers a message to persevere through hard times by enjoying the wonder of life, and the love and support of those closest to us. “I wrote it after a dream,” Candace says. “I was watching someone have a conversation with an old tree and they were both saying the same thing to each another: ‘Hold on, friend. You’ve seen so much, but don’t resign, because there is still so much more.’”<br /><br />The video for “Don’t You Fall” is a playful variation on the same theme. “As a society, we’re so obsessed with preserving our youth, but age is just a relative concept,” says Candace, who conceptualized and created the video based on animation techniques often used in children’s television programs from the 1960s and ‘70s. “Who didn’t love Romper Room, Mr. Dressup, Mr. Rogers, or Sesame Street,” she says. “Kindergarten is the age of innocence and imagination—you never think about getting old when you’re five.”</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1aggVyfCD5c" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdTA7yLt-u881ZCZxMFXTZg2Cx39r_LUz8_zf84XmkHQaG8fxRgV_U7XaiVJ9rvhBVmIDiup7BiCvzQ5h_1C-18bz_4Fs_zlVNQ7uAP67f3pmMjRKKTifIaXrm78HentPWtnATq6IvOC-ztpDjs0kfyxMln0PCe4QD4nKKZ3tyN502L8WHIIh5ItB1_4s/s1565/Screenshot%202023-07-30%20at%2018-47-50%20CLEMENTINE%20VALENTINE%20RELEASE%20NEW%20SINGLE%20VIDEO%20'THE%20ROPE'.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="732" data-original-width="1565" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdTA7yLt-u881ZCZxMFXTZg2Cx39r_LUz8_zf84XmkHQaG8fxRgV_U7XaiVJ9rvhBVmIDiup7BiCvzQ5h_1C-18bz_4Fs_zlVNQ7uAP67f3pmMjRKKTifIaXrm78HentPWtnATq6IvOC-ztpDjs0kfyxMln0PCe4QD4nKKZ3tyN502L8WHIIh5ItB1_4s/s320/Screenshot%202023-07-30%20at%2018-47-50%20CLEMENTINE%20VALENTINE%20RELEASE%20NEW%20SINGLE%20VIDEO%20'THE%20ROPE'.png" width="320" /></a></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Clementine Valentine</span></b> - The Rope.<br /><br />Clementine Valentine, the Coromandel-based art-pop duo formerly known as Purple Pilgrims, share a new single ‘The Rope’ off their upcoming album, The Coin that Broke the Fountain Floor, out August 25th via Flying Nun Records. To celebrate the album's release, the duo will perform four intimate shows around the country this September as well as a show in August alongside Roy Montgomery for the Christchurch WORD festival.<br /><br />Following their previous album singles ‘Endless Night’ and ‘Time and Tide’, the new single ‘The Rope’ is a captivating siren song, that entices the listener, inviting them into a world of both safety and potential darkness. Produced by Randall Dunn — known for his work with acclaimed artists like Björk, Oneohtrix Point Never and Jim Jarmusch —the track features expressive percussion by Matt Chamberlain, who’s worked with the likes of Lana Del Rey, David Bowie, Fiona Apple to name a few<br /><br />The accompanying visuals, directed by the Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland-based duo PICTVRE (Veronica Crockford-Pound and Joseph Griffen) and made with the support of NZ on Air, draw inspiration from 1960s films such as Jean-Luc Godard's sci-fi/noir classic 'Alphaville' and Ingmar Bergman's psychological drama 'Persona'.

Characterized by sweeping cinematography and long, slow zooms, the video finds Mooney and her dulcimer in an ethereal, serene state against a backdrop of majestic ancient trees, rocks, and waterfalls - a perfect visual complement to the inherent drama of the single. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Of the video, Mooney says “With dulcimer in tow, Nick and I scrambled through bush and fell (literally) into creeks, finding captivating and evocative places for me to perch, strum and sing into the trees. We started at noon and by nightfall had explored waterfalls, valleys, and watched the sunset over the treetops. I enjoyed the contrast of singing ‘Nothing Is Forever’ in an environment so ancient. One wonders how many people and birds have sung to those trees. The video became a love letter to that part of the world, which of course I hope is forever.”<br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GVOqOPm93Tg" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span></p><p>======================================================================</p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTI6XpNAG_KlSn3ZACcgojI33BlgJ2lGE86sH7oVTVYV3T2aD8gdpW2iUZmGYyz98nX2hOxhxZdQA-_A-gPXoOEl8-baxu5Wq2-Xqbqv7MuNMzAYJ5ECvZfxzltBKr0GkBUMGjeP7SpJS4xG5tioF-8Ed5vhn50-r1Ep7gKKBP7Rv4iv8norH5wpmD0HE/s2048/the%20grahams.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTI6XpNAG_KlSn3ZACcgojI33BlgJ2lGE86sH7oVTVYV3T2aD8gdpW2iUZmGYyz98nX2hOxhxZdQA-_A-gPXoOEl8-baxu5Wq2-Xqbqv7MuNMzAYJ5ECvZfxzltBKr0GkBUMGjeP7SpJS4xG5tioF-8Ed5vhn50-r1Ep7gKKBP7Rv4iv8norH5wpmD0HE/s320/the%20grahams.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Grahams</span></b> - Glory Bound.<br /><br />The Grahams have shared their uplifting anthem “Glory Bound,” the next offering from the duo’s upcoming self-titled album, out September 8 via 3Sirens Music Group. Arriving with a golden-hued music video showcasing the importance of family and love, this meditative song finds The Grahams reflecting on life’s journey, regrets and all, with bright eyes toward a hopeful future. “Glory Bound” was recently featured by Magnet Magazine and is one of ten reimaginings slated to appear on The Grahams, which sees the duo revisiting fan favorites to reflect their artistic growth over the last decade. The Grahams is now available for pre-order.<br /><br />“On ‘Glory Bound,’ what was once a bold, from-the-chest manifesto becomes a shimmering reflection on hope and regret, building around a subtle, hypnotizing riff,” shares Alyssa Graham, who is one half of The Grahams with Doug Graham. “Listening back to my approach, originally and now, I'm a different person. You can hear it in my voice.”<br /><br />“Glory Bound” follows the serotonin-boosting “The Wild One,” which was praised by the The Alternate Root, Americana UK, Americana Music Association and more upon its release. On The Grahams, the duo pays homage to a fulfilled commitment they made a decade ago: three concept albums over 10 years, which found them exploring America and its rich tapestry of music. The new self-titled album takes 10 songs from The Grahams’ catalog and pours them through a new filter – what they’ve learned, how they’ve changed, and perhaps most centrally, how they sound today. While these songs bear some resemblance to their Americana roots, they lean harder in a new direction, weaving threads of the duo’s other influences: the bands they grew up with, the input of collaborators, and the ever-evolving love affair that now includes their child. Track by track, the changes are transformative, stripping the songs down in some cases and dressing them up in others.<br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t2on4p4h-6c" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span><p></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinrJgU20EqUt6ROET_qIuaedIYdacCs_1I0Rmi4njpwsJ7YOCDn2lXLcY47o2jXCpJH69m__QwD4_nP5ahzF1zSSw3ZpkPgtqTipC6_UiPAXffx3GKQuB_m__TdJup9EtA9P8zdNuMwUd_Kz7-3c3GejtvZtxjBczYw13rd3MPzA6_ID363B36C5qUWUY/s698/shadwick.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="523" data-original-width="698" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinrJgU20EqUt6ROET_qIuaedIYdacCs_1I0Rmi4njpwsJ7YOCDn2lXLcY47o2jXCpJH69m__QwD4_nP5ahzF1zSSw3ZpkPgtqTipC6_UiPAXffx3GKQuB_m__TdJup9EtA9P8zdNuMwUd_Kz7-3c3GejtvZtxjBczYw13rd3MPzA6_ID363B36C5qUWUY/s320/shadwick.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Shadwick Wilde</span></b> - Without You.<br /><br />Shadwick Wilde has released "Without You," the second single from his upcoming solo record Forever Home, produced by renowned Nashville drummer Ken Coomer (Billy Bragg, Will Hoge, Margo Price, Vance Joy, Al Green, Wilco and Uncle Tupelo), available everywhere September 22nd.<br /><br />“Without You” is an existentialist love ballad… examining the frailty of memory, the truth of impermanence, and our clinging to one another. Wilde, who lives with major depressive disorder, is a self-described Buddhist-Nihilist, but credits meditation, therapy and a focus on compassion and presence to saving his life. The recording of this album was a practice in surrender for Shadwick… Coomer pushed for live recording and minimal takes to preserve the spontaneity of the creative process, and to let the songs unfold on their own.<br /><br />“Without You” was the first song recorded live as a group with Shadwick on guitar, Coomer on Drums, and Ted Pecchio on Bass. Sam Wilson was brought in to add some beautifully tasteful guitar work, and Shadwick overdubbed piano and synthesizer parts, resulting in a beautiful rich orchestration to juxtapose the song’s darker subject matter.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t__eqkIJB4E" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824306075730353816.post-9191877914774718172023-07-29T19:15:00.000+01:002023-07-29T19:15:39.567+01:00TANDM - T.G.

But the deeper you dig, the more Toronto duo TANDM’s songs seem to transcend time, place, and even stylistic categorization. The core duo of vocalist/guitarist Maxine Beck-Sinderby and drummer Thomas Franklin first met in their mid-teens and quickly united over a unique creative chemistry.<br /><br />Their new collection, Sirens, finds the duo teeing up their most engaging and enveloping output to date – a potent distillation of the magical individual components that comprise TANDM’s masterful take on alternative pop but with a newfound polish and elevated production style. The rhythms are entrancing and engaging, drawing the listener into a warm, dreamlike world of stirring melodic dynamism and delicate-but-dauntless vocals.<br /><br />The title track, “Sirens,” blasts the hopefulness and excitement of youth, with lyrics referencing the Greek myths of Odysseus and Icarus. TANDM describe the painful truths of growing up, independence and severing the connection from family.<br /><br />“I have always tried to tell a lesson or a story in our music,” says Maxine. “With our first two EPs, the majority of our songs were about teenagehood, with many of the themes touching on negative experiences of growing up. With this upcoming EP Sirens, the music is much more about the transition, post teenage angst. The upcoming songs are about the progress and the ‘moving on’ of past troubles, and how we overcame them. Consider it a sequel to our previous chapter.”</span><br /><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_k-JPJUDYdpQHDafcklKNGnO-huA7s58NA" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p>======================================================================<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitkoJIhCp42sDwuXBImQyA8FbiokA8SXhDuEUGLLQi47beVAwPOYGJ4pfj-WePaxenQw58dDfg548m_3FHMh--WnjwWo45i8vY0v5ekYu0eLvAR0v4wtI0mkNjS-vnKRkC77LLnHV0HNSk-2HAk8YQqRWJ9lKLCYsPZaEhbm4XQl58DWf8HLTKz_JJxm8/s4736/TG%20Shand.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2663" data-original-width="4736" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitkoJIhCp42sDwuXBImQyA8FbiokA8SXhDuEUGLLQi47beVAwPOYGJ4pfj-WePaxenQw58dDfg548m_3FHMh--WnjwWo45i8vY0v5ekYu0eLvAR0v4wtI0mkNjS-vnKRkC77LLnHV0HNSk-2HAk8YQqRWJ9lKLCYsPZaEhbm4XQl58DWf8HLTKz_JJxm8/s320/TG%20Shand.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">T.G.

Influenced by Lana Del Reyand Fleetwood Mac, America is a summer anthem about what happens after theAmerican dream. Country guitar slides, gospel organ and 60s girl group harmoniesblend together in creating a classic Americana sound that slowly disintegrates viaharmonic shifts.<br /><br />I wrote America after returning from showcasing at SXSW 2022. At the beginning of 2022 I’d been dropped by my label & left my management, so when I was invited to play this huge festival in Austin, Texas, I couldn’t have been happier.<br /><br />I spent all my time practicing, planning and emailing industry in the lead up that I didn’t give anything else much thought. SXSW was a dream so when it ended, I landed home with a bump. The weeks after that I felt very lost and unsure what my next step was. Luckily songwriting held the answer and America was born on a rainy day in Dolgellau, North Wales.</span><br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hJ5VN7MbWi8" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p></p><p>======================================================================</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge49az0WrAP7q-WuQI2Xl-mKSSl0XhJvqzk-Ijkt9QsBqzx6HxMjrMEOkxPbFSPmI_8kUjaaGMRSKO_6zeIbFI-POBs2nZUnMFEnrLDMQT4Mjk3AkcfkxqmOoFv8cF1CPzYCjssShrCa2DUkh78Iut7aVJ3zkI47r78eiH8HGFMjndQ_SIVU1oerwu2bA/s1200/m%20i%20tucson.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge49az0WrAP7q-WuQI2Xl-mKSSl0XhJvqzk-Ijkt9QsBqzx6HxMjrMEOkxPbFSPmI_8kUjaaGMRSKO_6zeIbFI-POBs2nZUnMFEnrLDMQT4Mjk3AkcfkxqmOoFv8cF1CPzYCjssShrCa2DUkh78Iut7aVJ3zkI47r78eiH8HGFMjndQ_SIVU1oerwu2bA/s320/m%20i%20tucson.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Moving Into Tucson</span></b> - Moving Into Tucson.<br /><br />Hey, come along.
