It seems that any track called 'Crocodile' is destined to be amazing. It's intense, the frenzied beat, the horns, the chant-like vocals. Fresh I think would be the best way to sum it up. I can definitely see this one being played at indie nights and getting people either up and moving or intensely confused.... Continue Reading →
Released: 11th October 1997Producer: James RobbinsBand Members: Davey von Bohlen (Vocals, Guitar), Jason Gnewikow (Guitar), Scott Beschta (Bass) & Dan Didier (Drums) I have always loved The Promise Ring, Davey Von Bohlen has a knack for writing really bizarre yet catchy lyrics, especially in their early days. Nothing Feels Good really paved the way for... Continue Reading →
The Strokes. Love them or hate them, they are seemingly omnipresent. I like the Strokes, they have a way of just being there, easy to listen to, easy to sing along to. When I first heard this song (much like the rest of their records) it took a little while to get it. So, it... Continue Reading →
It's Sunday, we are all stuck indoors, let's have a bit of noise to shake up the day. Starting slow and building fast, Backseat Vinyl get into things fast with downtrodden lyrics and loud music. I get a Michael Stipe vibe from this track, mixed with a pop-punk musical style, what do you think? https://open.spotify.com/track/2DGgBH4x8Fn1IG63vtJf2o?si=PcY0-exXR8WmQJp6BFtvZA
So after giving 'Vultures' by Chemtrails a listen I was under the impression that the band were a bouncy Indie Pop outfit, listening to the newer material they seemed to have had a slight shift of focus into a more abrasive niche. Give it a listen and tell me your thoughts. https://open.spotify.com/track/0lVLQ3jLvkLUPCb3dTbyFm?si=AYblS6zeRB27JU4pt1mmCw
Shrouded in darkness and oppressively bleak, it's magnificent. Musically, it has twinges of Aphex Twin or Massive Attack, the darker side of EDM. Lyrically thinking Glasvegas? Let me know what you think, tell me I'm wrong or if you agree! Check us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Soundcloud etc etc etc you know the drill. https://open.spotify.com/track/17NCFnePb3mvBRyNNupk1E?si=Qz6m1UAuSvK_JuzfT65wcg
Khruangbin are incredibly talented, incredibly, effortlessly cool and so laid back it's amazing they make it to gigs. If you need an escape, crank this up and drift off into paradise. Their previous album, Con Todo El Mundo has pretty much been on my playlist since the day it came out and this new album... Continue Reading →
Let's have a break from the world, take a listen to Cosmo Sheldrake and forget about your cares. More of a composer than Indie artist, this track is something straight out of a musical. It's quite possibly the most elaborate and spectacular thing I've heard all year. https://open.spotify.com/track/0atQ9OT5OlguxE1tT5LTm0?si=Gwe_oQsASz-071ZMMwFL-A
LIFE give off a 'I Don't Care' vibe, which works for them. This is very reminiscent of Bearsuit or Milburn. The fast burning injection of disinterested cool is over far too quickly. They were/are on tour currently with a new album in the works by the looks of things... https://open.spotify.com/track/0l7rYFOfRnzZt0fGWWxVdH?si=rzwHP16AQ1K1vt9JYQHsdg
It is so incredibly refreshing. Its an indie track wrapped in a show tune inspired by folk. What's not to like?? You may have ran into Walter Martin before under the guise of the Walkmen of Jonathan Fire*Eater, so this solo outing won't come as much of a surprise. Reminiscent of Orlando Weeks' solo efforts...
