Sean Tweedley – Ooola Hooora
Sean Tweedley is a Toronto based singer-songwriter and composer. He has a very distinct style and musical spirit. All his tracks contain it and are contained by it. His latest release is ‘Ooola Hooora’, a storytelling track with dramatic scenes and moments of human emotion. Blending coarse acoustic riffs with a festive air and shiny, floating melodies, Sean sets up a light atmosphere. The best way to enjoy the track is to just go with the rhythm, blend with the groove, the melodic shuffle and the fresh vocal moments. It’s fun but also moody but also light and evocative. It’s a flow and a well made one at that.
Gerry Farrow and Rue Randall – it’s your tomorrow
Gerry Farrow and Rue Randall revives a Nick Drake, Neil Young era of folk with latest release, ‘It’s Your Tomorrow’. The atmosphere of the song is crafted to make you think, to feel, an appeal to the listener’s humanity. The track, made with slow, natural rhythms, acoustic lulls and pausing vocals is meant to make the listener stop for a minute. To step out of the whirlwind of their lives and think about the future. Think with love, consideration, and compassion for the future generation. With varying string textures and piercing vocal sound, the song grows vivid the more you listen to it. By the end of it, you’re drenched in it. In its appeal, in its feeling, in its ideas.
