Electronic Groove from Grounders

April 3, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

When I first pressed play on this Grounders track, I honestly expected something a little different. The first twenty seconds or so have this glittery electronic fold to them, leading me to believe it was going to be a hard-hitting piece of electro-pop. But, rather than push forward with a heavy (beat-laden) hand, the band pull the pace, slowing things down to allow the track to unfold in a fashion that’s built more for foggy mornings than late night ragers. You’ll find songs such as these on the bands self-titled full length, which hits on May 12th.

Hooked On This New Grounders Track

March 2, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’m not really sure what it is about Grounders, but I’m entirely hooked on their sound. Seemingly, the song is all over the place, touching on various genres, from electronic-induced pop to swirling dreamgaze. That being said, there’s an undeniable pull that draws the listener (in this case me) into the track. There’s so much going on in this tune, that you’re almost begging to play it again before it’s finished, just so you can go back and check all the musical highlights occurring within. The group releases their self-titled album on May 12 via Nevado Records.

Creative Pop from Grounders

April 29, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Toronto is known to be a musical hot bed, though that seems to have died down just a bit. That won’t be the case once people get a chance to hear the new EP from Grounders. Listening to their Wreck of a Smile EP, it’s difficult to really place their music, though the band’s creativity is clearly obvious. Cleverly, they’ve layered sounds atop sounds, all the while promoting a playful bounce that serves as the backbone for the track. If you’re interested in what you’re listening to, and you should be, then you can pick up the group’s EP on July 7th from Park the Van Records. Enjoy your day.
