This Week’s ‘Riffs & Roads’ presents Resounding Alt Rock Soundscapes

By

Paul Gehl – Through the Darkness 

Paul Gehl explores the textures and dimensions of darkness with his latest riff-heavy and riff-powered single, ‘Through the Darkness’. The track is a slow burn with a drifting rhythm. Echoes from emotions long felt come up bubbling into the burning frames. Paul Gehl’s baritones ring low with a hypnotic tone. There’s something grounding in it, that anchors you to the theme, keeps you within the burning darkness. The hard rock song grows alive, it opens up with a warmth that you wouldn’t expect. It does not present the usual, predictable interpretation. But actually holds artistic substance and a novel idea, all executed with charisma. 

Ker – Wondering on Giants 

Coming out of Paul Gehl’s deep and grounding flow, you feel strangely awakened. Which is the perfect time to fill yourself with Ker’s acoustic rock single, ‘Wondering on Giants’. The energy shift is quite pleasurable and only grows profound and joyful as you progress through the track. The melodies are expressive and the vocals bring such beautiful imagery to life. It gives you a different kind of grounding, one that draws from thoughtful reflections and observations. Ker uses a tinge of blues, letting it flower in the guitar work and in some of the background flows. It’s soft and enjoyable, energizing the listener with a meaningful piece. 

Ava Valianti – Deep Fuschia 

Ava Valianti is known for her bold soundscapes. Her use of emphatic elements with vulnerable emotions has a way of always disarming her listeners. Her latest release is ‘Deep Fuschia’, a pop rock track that consorts with a melting pot of acoustic rock, pop, and country.

Her voice holds the theme of love with so much heartache and mature emotion. As you let yourself be taken by the song, you will feel such vivid moments of love. So many shades, but all of it deepening into a burning fuschia flame. Listen Now!
