Fuzzy New Number from Heart Beach

May 6, 2020 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s been a few years since Heart Beach dropped an LP, but while there’s no official announcement, the group have been hinting at something with a slew of singles in 2020, like the new one below. This new track was written while the core songwriting partnership of Claire and Jonathon McCarthy were struggling whilst living in Montreal, before moving back to Australia. You can hear some of the struggle in the lyrical content like “check the map because you don’t know where you’re going,” which in the context can work on multiple levels. I just love the interplay between the McCarthy’s, not to mention those fuzzy distorted edges swirling about the track. We’ll keep you posted if we hear news of a new record.

Cyrus Gengras Shares Soft Toned Garage Tune

August 30, 2016 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

You may know Cyrus Gengras from his touring support for artists like Jessica Pratt or Kevin Morby, but perhaps you’ve never heard of his solo efforts. Recently, Gengras decided to set out on his own and record some tracks that show off his garage inspired songwriting skills. The result, as you can sample below with the track, “Other Side,” is a blast of americana-rock that rides on the mellow mood that it dwells in. However, this track is more than just a mellow groove– as the vocals of Gengras have this infectious quality to them that keep you engrossed in the tune. Take a listen and if you like what you’re hearing, be sure to pre-order the cassette release he’s got coming for you on Death Records.
