Alexei Shishkin Shares Bermuda Single

May 3, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Alexei Shishkin has decided that 2024 will be the year he just keeps writing and writing; he’s already released Dagger this past February, and is now on the way to release Open Door Policy this summer. Today, we’re offering you “Bermuda,” which has Shishkin offering up a bit of twang and a sprinkle of stomp that feels like a canoe race around some tropical island. Personally, I love how Shishkin just completely avoids tradition by ignoring the chorus moment; it feels like its in there musically, but he leaves it lyric free to kind of lock in the overall feel of the song, both nostalgic and exploratory. If, like me, you’re a fan of Alexei’s work, keep an eye out for his 10th LP, Open Door Policy, out June 28th via Candlepin Records.

Pop Rock from Mrs Magician

February 19, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Mrs. Magician have appeared on our pages before, and its time we give you an update on what they’re up to these days. The band just announced that they’ll be releasing their new album, Bermuda, on May 20th via Swami Records. Our first taste is this seriously infectious bit of pop rock titled “Forgiveness” featuring some great riffs and a nice little vocal fade coming in near the end before the band blasts off with a bounce towards the track’s end. Definitely nice to see these guys back in the mix, and back in our listening rotation.

New Club Hit from Kisses

August 8, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Okay, maybe we’re about 24 hours late on this, but I absolutely loved Kisses old jam, “Bermuda,” and I think this new track surpasses it, so I’ve got to share it with you in case you missed out. I love the groove that pulses throughout the track, thus the name of the track referencing a heartbeat. But, it still has a little bit of sunny cool that rubs you just the right way. This new single doesn’t appear to have a release date, or be associated with any release in particular, so do yourself and pick up their pretty rocking The Heart of the Nightlife from a few years back.

New Tunes from KISSES

March 4, 2010 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s been sort of a rock revival around our offices lately, but let’s not forget, we like to throw down on the dance floor too! We’ve got a new jam for you today, which really sounds a lot like Hercules and the Love Affair, only the vocals atop the disco beats sound more akin to Jens Lekman. It’s that particular warm vocal that is destined to win KISSES loads of fans when they release their debut Bermuda on April 27th. Hope you enjoy this little number, and remember boys and girls, it’s okay to shake it at the office sometimes.
