Singles of the Week (23//21)

1) Meat Wave - Volcano Park 

  

News from noise / punk from Chicago, Illinois band

Meat Wave thought they’d spend most of 2020 touring and preparing for the release of their next, yet-to-be-titled album. As was the case for most in the world, the band’s plans wouldn’t come anywhere close to materializing. Determined to push forward, they’ve created Volcano Park, a six song EP, recorded at the end of everyone-in-the-world’s least favorite year. Meat Wave, made up of vocalist/guitarist Chris Sutter, drummer Ryan Wizniak and bassist/engineer Joe Gac, managed to stay connected as a band throughout the global lockdown, through occasional practices and writing sessions. Toward the end of the year, eager to keep things sharp and creative, the group went to their rehearsal space to record a single. Volcano Park soon went from an intended single to a full-fledged six song EP, and the extra material began to surprise the band. They’d quickly put together a concise, intentional collection of songs. With much of the new material, it was “jam sessions'' that found the band experimenting in more psychedelic and spaced-out territory, showcased in songs like “Truth Died” or “Nursing.” On the other hand, Meat Wave’s stabs at post-hardcore melodies and riff-raging are all the more honed. “Tugboat,” the leading track on the EP, as well as it’s blistering follow-up “For Sale,” rival the same level of thoughtful intensity of their... more credits released June 11, 2021 Recorded by Joe Gac at Kildare Studios in Chicago, Illinois December 2020

3) syrup, go on - Lavender Sky

 

 

New single from dreampop / shoegaze Gold Coast, Australia
Following the release of their debut album 'Last Light', Syrup, Go On focused the majority of 2020 aiming to write songs in as simple a way as possible - often with just an acoustic guitar and vocals. A second full length album was written and scrapped before the band found themselves satisfied with the new direction that is presented through Lavender Sky. The song shares the feeling of new-found freedom and rediscovered autonomy. The simpler approach to presenting a feeling or story has given way to production choices which elevate and highlight the song rather than convolute it. Embracing technology and sounds popular with growing and difficult to ignore genres such as hyperpop, the track implements formant shifted vocals as well as programmed drums to create a fresh space within a crowded dreampop genre. released June 10, 2021

Singles of the Week (22//21)

1) Clinic - Fine Dining

 

 

 
Clinic - "Fine Dining" - the new single, out now on Domino...
John Peel favourite band from Liverpool, UK
Amidst pulsing synths and a disco drum, Clinic’s new track folds in a sense of 1970's American Fantasy Drama that adds a poppier element to their distinctive sound. credits released June 2, 2021 2021, Domino Recording Co Ltd

2) Slowly - Reverse

 

 

 
Some guy from Toronto who makes noisy, shoegazey, post-rock-y music of some sort. These tracks were initially developed during the writing sessions for Slowly's 2019 album 'Reveal'. Charlie thought the album was getting a bit long, so he shelved these 4 tracks and kinda forgot about them. While working on a brand new Slowly album (11 brand-spankin'-new tracks, coming soon!), Charlie decided to revisit these tracks, flesh them out and release them before putting finishing-touches on the new album - because, that's the kinda guy he is this month. This EP could maybe be considered a companion piece to Reveal?...maybe like the musical equivalent of one of those fancy post-credit movie scenes that are all the rage these days?...or, like, maybe these songs could be considered some 'super awesome bonus tracks' for the Reveal album...just, released on a separate EP instead of being bundled with the original album? Sure, why not?...let's go with that!
credits releases June 4, 2021 All of the things (writing, performance, recording, production and artwork) by Slowly. Mastered by Michael Briggs.

3) Glia - Pinned down​ /​ Hutchins st

5) BOLEHLAV - Anxieta

 

 

já dorazil až kolem páty - bolehlav...22.08.14 15:37
Bolehlav spojuje ty nejlepší okamžiky tvrdého dubstepu s drum’n’bassovým švihem, úderností industrialu a šmakem špinavých experimentů. Výsledkem je hudba jako neurotická porucha, zlámané beaty, zkroucené basy a texty rozkrájené Occamovou břitvou jen na ta nejdůležitější sdělení.
Kdyby Nine Inch Nails a Skrillex měli dítě, byl by to Bolehlav.
Tohle je nové video s EP Don't Believe in No Ghosts released June 30, 2019
