Red Sleeping Beauty’s October Pop Single

October 2, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

What a treat this year has been for fans of the Swedish pop outfit, Red Sleeping Beauty, and here we are in October with their new single from their monthly pop series. This is a heavy synth wash, working really carefully by driving a heavy bubble beneath the smoothed vocal delivery. Vocals and drum samples weave in and out, with synthetic musical spotlights shining through to put a little shine on the hooks that drive the band’s sound. The sad thing? There’s only two more months of delicious pop, and we’re salivating to hear what’s in store before 2024 wraps up.

Brand New Beauty from The Helio Sequence

July 12, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There are some bands who you wonder how they’ve remained in obscurity for so long. I know it’s been four years since The Helio Sequence last released Keep Your Eyes Ahead, but even still, that record is super solid. And now, with the band set to release Negotiations on September 11th via Sub Pop Records, you expect big things, even if no one else does. Listening to this track, it has the marks of the current indie climate, capturing both beauty and melody simultaneously, while still maintaining the intimacy I’ve always appreciated about the group. If there was one band more people need to love, it’s this one. Listen in to see if you don’t agree.

New Music from Golden Bear

September 21, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We were fortunate enough to throw some love to Golden Bear on our Summer Mixtape, offering up the new track “Who We Are” for you to enjoy. Still, as the October release date for the band’s new record, Alive, nears, we wanted to throw out another track that’s been floating around. It’s more pop rock goodness from these local boys, indicating that you’re set to have a whole new record worth of tunes for your vast enjoyment. The light keyboard/piano sound in the background really provides some great little details to this number. Hope you enjoy it, and get behind this great local act.
