One thing that stood out on the last release was The Haunted North’s fine use of contrast and their united ability to shift effortlessly from softness to absolute weight & intensity. Nowhere does this ability shine more brightly than on 21 Grams.
Singles
Emily Shirley adopts a Bowie-esque exploratory, inquisitive songwriting and composition style with this uniquely ambient, interesting new single.
What Smith does is redirect our understanding, and call out to those who are older and have experienced more of life and the world, to let them know they are seen, and they matter – more than ever before.
Exploding into life with an immediately brilliant build-up and drop, Geo Moon’s We Vibe is a quickly immersive and simultaneously impressive piece of contemporary alternative pop.
Following a high-energy, thirty-second introduction, SKG proceeds to spit bars relentlessly yet with a mellow, confident rhythm for the remainder of this new track.
Come Home explores precisely what the title implies – many of us have lost our sense of home, and with it, perhaps our sense of self. The more intently you listen, the more strongly the ideas connect & even enlighten.
Creatively blending contemporary production with a ukulele lead and notably characterful vocals, Kaylee Patterson hits the indie scene with style and intention.
Smooth vibes and soulful vocals pour through the speakers in waves of warmth for this brand new single from Jae Alexndr.
Alex VanTrue, renowned vocalist and front-man of Europe’s leading Queen Tribute Band ‘One Vision’, brings this brand new single to life with faultless power, heart, and precision.
An addictive piece of music, complete with guitar & whistles, calmness & optimism, all juxtaposed by this heavy burden that is the drink & the desire to binge & intoxicate our way through the days.
Utterly unhurried, and all the better for it, Voice of Dawn looks like it’s done at around 6 minutes, then a slightly tremulous, yet controlled tender vocal comes in right at the death, before being swept away in a shocking sweep of white noise that takes us through to the end proper. Worth your full attention for its full run time. Nicely done!
The mix is a little muddy, as befits the genre, but I like it – it feels retro, knowing and modern all at once, and the hooks are all very much in place. Strap yourselves in!
