We Are Joiners Drop White Thread
Feel like every place I turn, someone is struggling or someone is bummed or someone is seeking a better day, so I wanted to kick off the day with this We Are Joiners tune. The Dutch trio open up pretty aggressively, even embracing that maniacal manner with a screaming vocal nipping at the heels of the world. But, what sold me completely was the beautiful chorus, collecting the noise and swirling it around in a pot of delicious hooks; they continue to mix in melody and noise throughout the song’s final minute, and each time I press play, I’m falling further with the group’s sound. Crank it up and piss off your neighbors!

Now that we’ve looked at last week’s tunes, I wanted to start off with this real slowly unfolding pop ballad from Dutch outfit, Feng Suave. The opening minute is almost like a lounge singer, crooning to his audience, slow and charming. But, just after the 1 minute mark, you get this nuanced build, texturing the song with these nice little string arrangements and tickling piano notes. Just don’t think they’re settling there, as the group continues to let the song build and swell, all the while holding tight to the track’s early charms. If you dig it, be sure to give a listen to their So Much for Gardening EP.
