Quick Tune from Loose

August 6, 2018 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Loose have graced these little pages a few times before, and we’d like to devote the next minute to the band as they drop another single. While this song has the tendency to lean towards trimmed down punk number, the song mostly resembles the badge of the Pacific Northwest…though perhaps more in the vein of Idaho. Even in a short span of a minute, the song bursts, recedes then bursts again, only to fade out quickly. Mostly, I love the band because they just seem to be having fun, and that goes a long way to me having fun. The trio will release their debut EP on August 17th.

New Rocker from Loose

July 19, 2018 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Loose is a brand new act out of Portland, but the various members all have quite a pedigree of their own. Together they’ve just announced their debut LP, pulling in from all sorts of areas to get me excited. There’s an obvious element that definitely wears the badge of the Pacific Northwest, be it the way the melody is used or the sounds as a whole. But, they also throw in these math rock-y spasms, not unlike Pinback, though here it’s pushed much faster and angrier. Exciting things on the horizon from this act…hear for yourself.

Chilled Electronic Pop from Henry Green

February 9, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I have a feeling todays’ going to be a mellow one, so I wanted to set the mood with this delicate piece of electronic pop from Henry Green. This is perfect for the feels; it’s playful yet at the same time has this quiet strength to it. Perhaps that comes from Green’s androgynous vocal approach, whichallows you to give more attention to the concept of realness that he’s bringing on his Real EP. It’s a collection of songs just about living in the moment, absorbing all the world has to offer emotionally, good or bad. It’s being released on February 10th via Akira Records.
