Unpredictable yet satisfying, thought provoking, hypnotic and blissfully mighty as a form of contemporary escapism.
Songwriter
An ever-expressive and thoughtful Amadante releases perhaps his most immersive and beautiful single yet with the faultlessly crafted, heartfelt and catchy Waken Dreams.
Indie rock rhythms and intimate songwriting back up distorted, subtly catchy arrangements as Crow Hardly tease four original tracks from the soon to be released, aptly-titled album Heart Deep.
The writing is top notch, and the classic, organic and humble arrangement helps draw focus to that; making you appreciate the purpose and honesty of the song all the more so.
Acoustic folk-pop rising into pure pop warmth unites with melancholic, characterful vocals as James Arellano digs deep into heartache.
The album promises a series of infectious hooks and the stylish organic swagger of country intertwined under a cleanly-mixed pop production-light.
Slowly but surely, the imagery and the implications offer a powerful hit of escapism – an appropriate response considering the personal lyrical journey towards the hypnotic repeat of ‘I’m on the moon’.
Leading with creatively uninhibited, surf-rock and indie anthem vibes, Grammy-winning producer Zane Birdwell introduces a boldly colourful album of originals, under the intriguing title of Shame Jungle.
Brilliant, beautiful, poignant, often relatable. You can’t help but like it, lose yourself to the groove, and soon find yourself contemplating greater depths.
“Living like this keeps me ill” resounds as a near-falsetto peak, right before the fall back to acoustic softness, and it kicks in for this placement – it lingers, it engages, it’s memorable.
Expressively uniting a deeply immersive, moving musicality, with a series of lyrical explorations of love and life and, aptly, The Weight Of The World, Barcelona duo Morningblind take listeners somewhere completely new.
A loving album, hard-hitting and intimate in equal parts, with its roots firmly planted in the dreamy euphoria of EDEN but a clear thread of realness intertwined amidst that.
