Video Age Share Better Than Ever

September 6, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Wanted to toss a bit of joy into your listening rotation today, especially as I love the funky bop of this fresh Video Age tune. Honestly, it reminds me in construction, of early Chromeo, playing with burying really deep hooks in a track that eventually rise and hit you right in the face. That said, the New Orleans project slings it about with a little bit more modernity, tossing in dreamy notes behind the rhythmic bounce; the vocals have a nice little melodic curl, never stretching beyond their boundaries, continuing to let the hook of the tune evolve. They’ll release Away From the Castle on October 27th via Winspear.

Bright Pop from Waves of the Echo

June 18, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Our Finnish friends over in Soliti just turned 4 years old, and they aim to keep going strong with this huge pop hit from Waves of the Echo. The band ready their new album, Fading Daylight, Bright Nights, and with it will come a huge sound of synth driven pop rock that’s filled to the brim with hooks. If you’re looking to discard modern tropes completely, throw back with this jam, reminiscent of 80s dance clubs…only with a huge wall of sound. Their debut is out now, so grab it if you’re into great pop music.
