Ker – Love To You All
Ker is back again with another acoustic rock number, ‘Love To You All’. You know those tracks that make you think, feel and unravel as human beings. This belongs to that category. With literary lyrics that swirl with poetry, storytelling and sentiment, the listener is instantly transported. There’s a lot of romanticism in the style. Melodies are soft and curving into crafting the theme. If you enjoy artists like Nick Drake, Neil Young and the like, you’re sure to love the style, tone and mood of this track. The reflective melancholy really puts you in a sphere of explorative solitude where imagery springs into feeling into memory. And somewhere, as you’re travelling in between these worlds, you gain a connection that takes you deeper and deeper.
The Snow Ponies – Oh My God
The Snow Ponies bring charisma. They bring entertainment. They bring variety and versatility. Their latest release is ‘Oh My God’, a scaling rock track that journeys from the 70s to the modern era and back, hitting all the decades in between. It is stylistically fluid, executed with seamless technique that will have you writing home about it. Opening with a dynamic beat line, coarse grooves, rolling riffs and chords, the old school rock formula sets the scene. The vocals take you back to The Kinks, The Who, phasing to the electric voice style of David Bowie. And the atmosphere phases and changes into an 80s electric disco set. We come back to rock n roll in the verses, before splitting at a stylistic fork. It’s so fun. Especially the way the band uses the riffs to travel across the styles. There’s no sound like this.
CAR287 – Muddy Waters
‘Muddy Waters’ by CAR287 sounds exactly like you think it would sound. It is rough, coarse and full of raw texture. There’s an authenticity that gives the song an incredible character. The riffs and the bass groove open the scene. Dusty and dangerous with a tinge of contemplative melancholy. Sparked and twinkling with blues, the sound has a resounding country dimension that lightens the atmosphere. The vocals are unstoppable. Like an unstoppable sludge, it keeps slowly but steadily inching into the song. In fact, all the elements in the track are set to this pace. But it’s done without the feeling of doom or despair. There’s almost a sense of heroism to it, a cool guy enigma that you get compelled by. And all this drawn into a rolling landscape of riffs, blues, and old school country music.
Reetoxa – You Deserve Better Than Me
ReeToxA’s ‘You Deserve Better Than Me’ is a classic rock gem that flows and flows with a sentiment that takes over. It’s a song tinged with melancholy. But not in a way that drags you down. There’s a thoughtfulness to it that transports you. Perhaps it takes you to moments in your past or present. The riffs and chords project an expansive landscape for the track. A conventional bassline travels and spreads throughout the track. The magic is not in the novelty of the song design. But in the emotion, in the feeling that the band invokes with storytelling. Not just with the vocals. Every element of the track seems to be speaking. It’s heartfelt. It is alive and full of that brooding dusk energy that lifts into the heart. And it’s romantic and full of blues that you can travel with all the way into the night. Listen Now!
