Mandow – Burned Down
Mandow and GregVK have just released their latest single, ‘Burned Down’. It is an interesting interpretation of alt rock. It is urgent and restless but full of soul. With rhythm and riff breaks that play into the spontaneity of the theme, the song gets to be unique. Especially in how the soundscape plays out. Right off the bat, they set up an asymmetric groove and beat formula and keep reinforcing it. Despite the repetition, it feels sporadic in a way that keeps the song exciting and alive. Like a jazz style rhythm, it does not let you settle down into the song. It keeps you guessing. Of course, it’s all worth it because the artists keep building on it so well. The vocals have a pleasing chromatism to them which pairs well with the theatrical energy of it. Listening to the track is like chasing a ribbon in the wind. It’s fun and playful and takes you to interesting moments. The bass is an effusion, oozing out and coloring the soundscape, almost like a shoegaze scene. Just like that, the artists marry rock hard rock with rock ballads and nu metal, fusing them all into a cinematic jazz atmosphere. If you enjoy bands like Queen, you’ll definitely enjoy the path that these artists have forged with this track.
Spiral Orbit – Isolation Zone
Spiral Orbit is a five piece rock band from Midlands UK. They have a larger than life energy. Starting from classic rock, they fly to such incredible moments of 80s reminiscent synth/ electro rock. So dynamic, colorful and fun. Their latest release is called ‘Isolation Zone’. Forming in the territory of psychedelic/ space rock, hazy guitars, heavy grooves and memorable instrumental passages, the band creates a sound to be reckoned with. This single has an expansive showcase. There’s something really cool about how they stretch the psychedelics into a new genre space. It’s melodic, but there’s a cerebral depth that the listener is given a taste of. There’s a peak that is teased and risen to. With instrumental frames that literally leave an imprint on the brain, the band takes you from one to another. If you enjoy artists like Samsara Blues Experiment, Comacozer, and Colour Haze, you’ll love this band.
