Extra Space Share Something Strange
I was completely fooled by the cover art on the new Extra Space LP; it looks and feels like you’re going to get something in the vein of post-punk, something sharp and angular. But, the band are more of a sort of pastoral brand of indie rock, akin to what you’d hear on a record by the Clientele, only with a little more precision and less fogginess. Vocals are quiet, hanging on the edge of the mix like they could drop out at any time here; this method, along with the drifting nature of the music is like a witch’s beckoning finger, calling you into the confines of the track, mesmerizing you with the melodic movement permeating your soul. Look for New Colors to drop on April 24th.
ATH got her groove back! Okay, maybe not entirely, but feel like we’ve gotten some solid coverage this week, bringing you some stuff that the other hit promoters might have missed. I wanted to start the playlist off this week with the new single from Massage, as that track made me rush out and count my quarters to grab a copy. RayRay reminded us that Shy Boys are still a force to be reckoned with, while B.Gray is out there encouraging those remaining tickets for Levitation to get picked up. Otherwise, we’re a little all over the place, stylistically, moving between the post-punk of Optic Sink and electronica of Sam Prekop to the quiet beauty of Greg Jamie; there’s a little something for everyone if you click play below!
