Cende Strikes Again

May 16, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

You don’t always need more than a few minutes to fall in love with a band, or a song for that matter. That’s all you get form the new Cende tune, and in fact, it’s not even two minutes. You won’t need it as its furious pop rock of the best sort, with the vocals and drums battling to see who can keep the pummeling pacing. Then there’s a nice little “oooooh” moment just before the minute mark and the cutting guitar solo for kicks. Their debut album, #1 Hit Single, will be out on Double Double Whammy on May 26th.

Really Enjoying This New Cende

April 19, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Listening to this new Cende track, it occurred to me that the blogosphere (god I hate name) aren’t dead. A song this good pops up on NPR/Stereogum and people listen,which shows a few people still have some good taste. From the moment it kicked off, the driving rhythm of the track had me tapping my toes and bobbing my head; it’s an infectious bit of guitar pop that just swims in your head. It doesn’t hurt that Frankie Cosmos‘ Gretta Klein offers up her voice to make listeners swoon after a few minutes; her performance almost brings in an a Camera Obscura-esque vibe that’s unavoidable. Blogs be damned, this song’s just great. Look for their album #1 Hit Single on May 26th via Double Double Whammy.
