Pop Number from Ravennas

Seattle duo Ravennas have been making music together since grade school, but they’re just now popping on our radar with this brilliant little single, produced by DoM. The production duties are important here, as the structure of the song is seemingly fit for bedroom pop, but this song moves beyond those limits. Verses are cooly covered in the dense wash of the song, with the chorus built for euphoric eruption by the listener. Personally, I love the way the song drifts to a close, capturing the dreamy element in the best way possible. Look for more from this promising duo in the near future.

Sioux Falls Have an Interesting Sound

sueI can’t place it exactly, but something about Sioux Falls sounds really familiar. I feel like I’ve heard it before, but I mean that in a good way. At times, it sounds like a less restrained Doug Martsch, as the band crashes the cymbals and the guitar chords billow through your speakers. I’d say it’s some sort of post-punk, but there’s a sensibility that makes the track immediately more accessible to listeners. I’m particularly enjoying the breakdown that wraps up the end of the track; there’s a huge hook waiting for you! Look for their album, Rot Forever, on February 19th of next year.
