Are You Excited for Mannequin Pussy?

October 18, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Man…I’m stoked on this upcoming release from Mannequin Pussy; it’s only a few weeks away from making its way out into the world. As of now, we don’t have too many of the songs to consume, but I’m in love with the title track from Romantic. A quick blast opens it up, then moves into a really fragile, almost dream pop realm; it’s like a great lounge act with really good musical tastes. Of course, the band are eager to blast forth with some noise, as they do during the chorus, exploding with a wall of noise and a vocal scream that sets listeners on edge. Look for the record to be released on October 28th.

I Love This New Slow Hollows Tune

September 27, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Sometimes I see a song has a thousands of plays and I ignore it; I figure you’ve probably already heard it elsewhere, so what’s the point of shouting into the Internet void. But, this Slow Hollows track is just too great not to share, so take a listen to it. I like the pop croon from the group, almost like a nice nod to indiepop, though with a more orchestrated sound coming from the entirety of the group. The drums sit fairly far back in the mix, allowing the melody to steal the show, which, in songs like this, is precisely where things go right. The band’s album, Romantic, is out November 4th via Danger Collective.
