Joseph Coward Returns with New Album

josephcowardI’m fairly new to the Joseph Coward game, but I’m not new to the incredible sound he’s spinning on his latest single. His voice is up front in the song’s mix, which creates the perfect arena for the guitars to ring in the background, reinforcing the melody as needed…particularly in the chorus. His lyrical delivery, and the overall song construction are something quite nostalgic; it reminds me of early Robyn Hitchcock, creating this sense of magic in your ear drums, creating an escapism within the confines of his own personal confession. His new album, Win Big Prizes, will be out on October 24th via Styffy Byng.

 

Pleased to Meet You: The Lymbs Ready EP

lymbsSo many tracks come across my track on a daily basis, and while I claim to fawn over so many, I’ll admit that the favorite I’ve found this week is this brand new song from The Lymbs (now based in Oakland). It has this crunchy style of rock to it, stuttering at moments, before lurching forward into a full-fledged rocker. Since relocating from New Mexico, the band have been hard at work trying to get things up and running, so expect a full EP or album to come from the band in just a short span of time!
