Puddled Prep Self-Titled EP

Naomi Davidoff is no stranger to writing great tracks, having played in Baltimore’s Spooled Up. But, things change, life moves on, and Naomi began Puddled, who are prepping their self-titled EP for the masses this Fall. What hasn’t changed, however, is Naomi’s drive to incorporate a love of 90s alternative rock into her songwriting, with names like the Breeders being thrown around most often. Personally, that seems mostly due to some of the vocal tones that Davidoff takes on, as there’s certainly a modern flex in the craft, embracing the adoration for driving walls of noise as drums echo like artillery shells. And sure, the vocals do their job to hold tight to nostalgia, but a sound this powerful is built for the present, so keep your eyes out for their Puddled EP, out via Crafted Sounds on September 26th.

New Tune from High Pines

When you name drop Felt, Serge Gainsbourg and the Fall in your influences, you better believe I’m going to have my eyes on your work…so here I am with this new tune from High Pines. In a way, it reminds me a lot of the Black Watch, utilizing this darkly tinged guitar lines that have just the faintest hint of a sparkle, like a glint off metal in the moonlight. Plus, I’m a sucker for sweeping string arrangements, which add a beautiful texture to this tune. And, in the vocals, you get this heaviness, almost like a pained beauty, if you will. Super digging this today; it appears on Between, a new LP dropping August 20th.
