Traitrs Drop Dark Wave Single
Wanted to wake up this morning to a bit of brooding energy, and Traitr‘s latest single is doing the trick, and I’m hoping that it returns the favor to you. You’ll find a thunderous beat pounding on the floor, with a gothic vocal performance dominating the road ahead; I do think there are some slight little tonal twists too, altering the way the song is to be heard. When the chorus drops in, the background music opens up, throwing in the slightest hint of danceable hook into the mix, which is absolutely perfect for us all. This brand new single is ready for all of you choosing to live in the shadowy corners!

After a long absence from recording, Canadian lot Pike are back with a couple of new songs you should get into while you can. I like the straddling pop styles of the tune below; it kind of seems like it’s playing a musical hopscotch, bopping from side to side in the speakers. Erik Hamilton and Katie Laine trade vocal spars, often overlapping one another to build this textured melody that gets cut into pieces as the song takes on a more angular approach in the track’s latter half. If you’re looking for a solid vibe of cool, then you can’t get much better than pressing play on the new single below.

Those of you with an inclination towards a classic indie rock sound should be sure to spend some time with this post, as nothing feels like the history of the sound more than what
Honestly, there’s not really a lot of information about OWF; there’s no Instagram or Bandcamp, and barely a presence on Spotify. That said, there’s something intriguing about the music that I’ve heard from the artists. There are moments when there’s the wry humor and heart-on-the-sleeve sincerity of Stephin Merritt, but at other times, there’s this sort of poetic playfulness like a Juan Wauters. It’s a quick little jaunt of sparse bedroom pop material, but the more I listen, the more I’m fascinated by this sort of outsider pop approach. I’ll keep you posted if we get to hear more!
