Skinner Shares Calling in Sick

Irish outfit Skinner offered up the perfect single for a Monday, especially if you’re like me and just got home late last night from a traveling adventure. While the tension and vocal delivery will feel hyper-familiar to those of you following modern post-punk trends, this song’s momentum picks up on the tension and delivers in the latter half. Indifferent vocal deliveries hop on the back of the rhythm, riding it up and down; you can feel that drive, that anger building, but you’re never quite sure you’re going to get what you deserve. Just before the 2 minute mark, the guitars begin to shriek a bit more, the vocals take on a bit of a growl, and then it explodes. It’s the perfect Monday tune, so don’t be afraid to call in sick and just crank this one up.

Lone Striker Share Dunno Single

All our favorite labels of love have their hands in this Lone Striker album coming your way, and this first single should establish the group as one of your favorites too. It should come as no surprise that we’ve also covered the project in various ways, as the lone striker himself, Tom Brown, is also part of great acts like Rural France and Teenage Tom Petties. So, here we are, with a debut single, seeing Brown relishing his role as a pop extraordinaire is immediately evident; the burst of horns in the arrangement set up his voice to kind of crest and cool in the middle of the mix. All of this chilled pop works around a lightly strummed jangle, sitting right alongside the percussive element, tapping toes and bobbing heads in the best way. For now, we can thank Repeating Cloud/Safe Suburban Home/Hidden Bay for getting this tune our way…the debut album is out next year!
