This Week’s ‘Riffs & Roads’ List Give Us Immersive Frames

By

Ben Heyworth – Image of Roads (Montana Mix) 

Ben Heyworth explores funk in a lofi setting with latest release ‘Image of Roads (Montana Mix)’. The track is a mellow, flat place drift with tingling visuals, soft flashes and a romantic notion. The vocals are laid back, a moody flow that naturally blends into the landscape of the instrumentals. With accordions, perky percussion and curious grooves, the song is cerebral without being too intense. The riffs are especially lovely, forming as they do like crescents over the scene. While the scene loops, the layers that open up with each frame, with each installment is interesting, speaking to the band’s style, virtuoso and vision. They delve into the journey, fleshing out each piece and it’s perfect for a road trip playlist like ours. 

Valiancy – Voices 

Valiancy is a singer-songwriter and an acoustic rock artist. His soundscapes are known for their depth and immersive style. Dabbling in pop and rock, he brings them together to depict emotional complexity and the layered reality of the human experience. His latest release is ‘Voices’, a track that explores the parallel reality that might exist in people’s heads. Delving into themes of self-perception, self exploration and awareness, it is such a fascinating composition. With burning textures, hypnotic grooves, and coarse vocal power, the track is a soft spiral, an excavation almost that feels so intimate, personal and revealing. It takes you to swirling pools of consciousness and emotion, in ways that make you feel surreal.
