Steady Groove from Childhood

It’s been a rather slow Monday in terms of new music and whatnots, so why not throw this gem your way. It’s the latest single from Childhood, and it hit the web late last week, offering a look at the band’s forthcoming album, Lacuna. It took me a bit to get into this song; it didn’t hit as immediately as the bright-colored art work would have had me believe. Instead, there’s a bubbling undercurrent of steady pop grooves, taking an approach that’s rarely used; I actually appreciate the fact that you’ve got to immerse yourself in the tune a bit. You have time? Give it a listen; the record comes out on August 11th.

Smooth Listening from Childhood

April 8, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I felt like Monday was a really slow day for new music news, but luckily this dreamy track from Childhood made it into my inbox. The construction of the song is in line with a lot of the music coming out right now, carefully crafting this swelling pop song that rises and falls all over the place. Me? I’m just in love with the way that the vocals come across. They’re delivered almost effortlessly, allowing with this gentle affectation that really soothes the listener. This song is the first listen from their much anticipated debut album, which should arrive at some point during the summertime.
