The Head Share New Single
Atlanta’s The Head just dropped this great new single, and I feel like its definitely up my tastes as of late. Of course, on “French Girls,” there’s soft jangling, swirling and turning in the front of the mix; it’s part nostalgic pop and pop modern jangling. I’d be remiss if I didn’t give the band a little nod for the heavy tones of the vocals, which definitely will hit your ears in that Moz territory, though hopefully with a sweeter soul. Then you also get “Slipping Away,” which sort of peels away the upbeat energy in favor of a more subtle affair; I mean, pardon the obviousness here, but the song does feel like its sort of “slipping away” through your fingers. Both tunes are hits, so dig in.

It’s always great to have friends reach out to you and point you in the proper direction, so I’m glad that I heard about this new Geddy Laurance/Michael O split tape before it was too late! We’ve covered Michael O many times (as Mantles and solo), and Geddy played drums in everyone’s favorite, Boyracer, so now we get them both together! With the GL tune, you get a little more pacing, primarily with a faster strum and thicker drum beat; the Laurance vocals do have a touch of a fading daylight feel to them, sort of wilting as they hit your ears. You’ll also find a contrasting guitar line working against the strum, sort of like the counter-punch to the jangle, which was a really nice recording touch. Michael’s tune has some bop to it, so don’t think its totally gone, but his voice sounds a touch fragile in the tune below (which I adore); there’s also this backing vocal popping in that sort of reminds me of Television Personalities somehow. And, this probably sounds like a slight, but there’s just a certain feel to Mr. O’s tune that almost feels like its still in the works, like things aren’t finished or polished; its pop honest at its finest. If, like me, you’re in love, then grab the split from
