This Week’s ‘Riffs & Roads’ is all About Dual Concepts

By

Eddie Cohn – Weight of the World 

Eddie Cohn’s latest release, ‘Weight of the World’ is a powerful classic rock track. Flush with blues and a contemplative melancholy, it’s a slow burn track. The riffs are piercing and deep. The basslines disperse and open with an incredible power. It creates the atmosphere of the track. Eddie’s vocals are the heart of the track. He holds the theme of the track with so much emotion, one that is informed by intense experiences and lofty thought. That brow beaten feeling and the defeat when you take on the weight of the world. He carves the earth with this pain, crawls through it and delivers it to the listener. Such a complex experience that he projects with affecting layers. One that validates your experience but also empowers you. 

The Yacht Club – The Greatest Misadventure 

The Yacht Club’s ‘The Greatest Misadventure’ is a dynamic indie rock track. It has an emphatic beat, a lovable vocal energy, and uplifting riff trajectory. The song has a kind of mercurial warmth, that even within the darting thematic points feels relatable and you can’t help but sympathise with it. There’s a light hearted melancholy that opens into frames of heartache, wisdom, clarity and growing understanding. It’s such a complex track because of how layered the feelings and sensibilities are. The tides of the song are definitely unpredictable, but it feels authentic, natural, and real. The riffs are active and buoyant, out there curating an atmosphere for this compellingly dramatic rock track. Listen Now! 

Lakeside X – Factory Flowers 

Lakeside X is an alternative band with an edge that you won’t forget in a hurry. It’s electric, dark and an outlying style. It takes you to riveting and youthful spaces. Their latest release is ‘Factory Flowers’, a track that smoothly blends the industrial/ experimental facets of the theme with an emo softness that opens a whole new world of music. It’s coarse, unforgiving, but also adventurous and full of that underground lift. It bolsters you but also takes you apart. Powerful moments of pop rock. There are anthemic raises in the chorus that relieves you from the tunneling burn in the verses. If love alt work and an electric air that challenges you, then you’ll love this atmospheric sound.
