The Sunday Shamans – Hey Man 

The Sunday Shamans make music exactly like their banner suggests. It’s chill classic rock floated into a moody bracket of soft psychedelics and gloomy tunes. It’s perfect to unwind to and exist in. Their latest is ‘Hey Man’, a track that is crafted with electric guitar accents. Dazing vocals drift through the soft soundscape. And then the riffs come on, progressively hardening and deepening. More layers pile on, and just like that, the sound gains dimensions. The visuals have a blurred vibrance, a retro feel and a sensibilities reminiscent of 70s artists. This song is sure to make your drifts interesting, especially if you’re feeling cerebral. 

The Lillypillies – Teleport Back 

The Lillypillies is a genre-blending duo. They bring pop rock to life with a whole different pulse. It is passionate, vibrant, and invokes dynamic visuals. Their latest release is the ‘Teleport Back’ album, a collection that explores the duo’s nostalgia for the olden days, simpler times. The title track astutely captures the theme of the album. With its indie rock blended into synth pop and active beats, they seem to create a plane of time travel, transporting you to the time they’re in. It has elements of lost love, heartache, and a romantic magnetism to it. The riffs are smoothly blended into the synth textures and beat tempo. An interesting way to create compact layers across the soundscape. It’s melancholic but wrapped up in a feel-good energy line. Listen Now!
