Delightful New Frokedal Tune

July 16, 2018 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Frokedal has a new album coming out in a little over a month, and I’ve been spending a lot of time on the side listening to the various singles. The latest is an assured charmer begging for you to indulge your pop fantasies. There’s definitely a nod to various indiepop genres in the opening moments with the way the keyboard and guitars intermingle, opening the curtain for Frokedal’s voice. She operates somewhere between smoky chanteuse and angelic pop star; it’s the perfect balance needed for this song. If your nostalgic for classic pop songs, then you need look no further; How We Made It will be out on August 31st via Propeller Recordings.

New Music from Frokedal

August 28, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Oslo’s Frokedal deserves your attention today. She’s just released a brand new double single, and it’s a pretty stunning two-song punch. The guitar work seems to intricate and personal, almost as if the strings are barely tickled to produce this enveloping sound. On “LTF,” I love the slight pitch raises in her voice, accompanied by some perfect accompanying bits that really make the song swell your senses. “Cracks” seems to have a more wistful bent, with a male counterpart aiding in the vocal performance. These songs seem huge, built for large audiences…though their sentiment seems quite personal. Join me in becoming a fan of Frokedal.

How About One More From Slotface?

July 21, 2017 RayRay Leave a comment

The weekend seems like a perfect time to enjoy another new song from Norway’s finest Slotface. We’ve already heard a couple of raucous songs from the new album, and this new track “Pitted” delivers yet again. I continue to dig the band’s throwback pop/punk vibe similar to Cruiserweight or even the recently reunited Rainer Maria. This is going to be one hell of a fun album.

Slotface will drop new album Try Not to Freak Out on September 16th via Propeller Recordings (pre-order).

Another Slotface Hit

June 2, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

This year has seen the return of Paramore, but I’m going to place my bets on Slotface to be the new face of pop rock n’ roll. Even in talking about the latest single, the band said they focused on building the hook first, then worked out the rest of the track accordingly. There’s a stuttering from the bass work that’s cut through the middle by distorted riffs, all the while Haley Shea hits every note possible. The young Norwegians are already making a huge name for themselves, but you can expect them to continue to impress when they drop Try Not to Freak Out on September 15th via Propeller Recordings.
