New Music from Winston Hightower

I’ll admit that I was totally digging the first single from Winston Hightower‘s forthcoming LP, but for some reason or another, I lapsed, so I’ll make up for that below. Those of you that are into the modern fascination with post-punk are going to find yourselves a new hero, as both the tunes below are definitely hitting those notes, particularly with the sharpness of the guitar sounds. That said, the second single that dropped last week slows things down, letting the performance kind of dangle in front of the listener in all the right places; I can definitely hear some Tim Darcy comparisons in the vocal delivery too, furthering my own adoration. If you’re into it, Winston Hytwr is out on May 31st via K Records/Perennial Records.

Daisies Share Goin’ In Circles

When we last checked in on Daisies they were sharing a very 90s college rock pop gem that I couldn’t get out of my freaking head! But, now, they’re branching into a bit more of a trip-hop territory, and I don’t mind it one bit here. I’m still standing by the vocals as the central force in this tune, though I’ll admit, the voice gets a lot of freedom here to explore the outer regions of the tune. Which, is really where the band gets interesting, bringing in bits of ambiance and exploration, stretching the boundaries of where their peers are at, whilst still maintaining a certain semblance of great pop. Great Big Open Sky should be a sure-fire winner when it drops on May 12th via K Records/Perennial.

Daisies Announce Great Big Open Sky

Olympian band Daisies had not crossed my radar until this morning, so hopefully you’ll read this post and remedy that if you’re in the same boat. This new single came with the promise that it had the best of both Portishead and the Cardigans, though I’ll admit there’s something in it to me that reminds me of Hope Sandoval singing on the chorus of Galaxie 500’s “Strange.” It’s a classic pop song, filled with a simple melody and vocal performance that genuinely breathes life into your day; I mean, if you need a spiritual lift off, just set the player to about 2:25 then wait until just before the 3 minute mark to find euphoria. If you’re into it, the band will be releasing Great Big Open Sky via K and Perennial Records on May 12th.

Catching Up with Big City

So, I’ll admit that I’ve been sort of swamped as of late with life and such things, so occasionally things slip under my radar, like this forthcoming EP from Big City. As of right now, there’s one single from the group’s new release, and its this cavernous mixture of guitar pop and techno vibes coursing through. You can hear the guitar line cutting through the fog in the distance, allowing the track to build on this atmospheric tip that lets the vocals waft on through to the other side. Really looking forward to hearing where the rest of this musical journey takes us; they drop Liquid Times this week via Perennial and K Records.
