lazy octopus records - Austin Town Hall

Give Growth a Listen

September 8, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Looks like the Swedish label, Lazy Octopus Records, is going to be my new “it” label…just wrote about Lion’s Den last week, and now they’ve got this great smoky bit of not-pop for you to enjoy from Growth. Guitar here’s kept to a minimum, angular shaking in the background whilst the vocalsunfold in a smoky haze; the latter half of the track sees all musical notes taking on a more discordant vibe. This song features on the group’s upcoming Colour Cut & Clarity EP, which is being released by the label on what’s quickly becoming a packed release day, September 16th.

Upbeat Pop from Lion’s Den

August 30, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’ve got a soft spot for Swedish bands, and it looks like I’ll be adding Lion’s Den to the mix. They offer up a nice little blend of jagged pop rock…think the Hives but far less frantic. They’re working on their full-length at the moment, so they’ve tossed out this early teaser to get you anticipating their work. I’m partial to the instrumental jam that comes in the song’s latter half, building you up to fall back in love with the memorable hook of the final chorus. Feel like this is a good day to get back into the swing of the week. Look for their full length from Lazy Octopus Records.
