Allan Jamisen – closing in
Allan Jamisen elevates the indie genre to a new level of artistry. With his latest release, ‘Closing In’, the artist explores a mellow, surreal energy plane. And weaving through this are moody melodies, electronic features, and wiry grooves. It’s like journeying through abstract visual art. There’s a glaze coming off of the music that illuminates the mind. It’s a cerebral circle that moves as if in an optical illusion. The riffs are set to flow in soft progressions. It’s a rich soundscape because the music forms on so many levels. There is a lot of concept, incredible technique and layers that the music evolves into. All of this is then wrapped up in a gentle spiralling rhythm. If you enjoy moods set by artists like Nick Cave and Tame Impala, you’re sure to enjoy the dark storytelling and fantastically simple soundscape of this track.
Motihari Brigade – The Great Refusal
Motihari Brigade is a rock n roll band that keeps on going. The grooves are their religion and the riffs their prayers. Being present in their soundscape means to be consumed by it. Known for their rebellious spirit and concept, this track reveals a fresh gradient of it. In their single, ‘The Great Refusal’ they explore resistance with the glamour and drive of rock n roll. Power riffs and splashy basslines shuffled in with moments of smooth grooves. All tied in with an anthemic vocal frame. You’ll see a punk ethos emerging within rock n roll. It’s remarkable because it is latent, yet expansive in the underbelly of the track. It fluidly gels with the grooves and the blues, the riffs and the basslines to make itself felt.
