Heavenly Share Scene Stealing Video

The new single from Heavenly opens with one of the band’s secret weapons, the combined swell of melody from Amelia and Cathy, and that gets things started in the right direction. Angular strums come in, with the the bass and drums creating a head-bobbing bounce that provides the energy with a light sway as they dive into the tune’s jittering grooves. Little bits of synth and guitar stabs are offered in this instrumental breakdown that reminds me how close jangling guitars are to classic reggae stepping. They’ve incorporated a modern twist on the A-Ha classic “Take On Me” video that you can catch below, only it’s spun through a YouTube video format as opposed to the comic version from the original. Highway to Heavenly is out via Skepwax on February 27th.

The Gentle Spring Prepare Looking Back at the World

Did you miss Michael Hiscock? Well, I certainly did, as I’m a huge fan and secretly hoping that SkepWax might release a vinyl version of Where’d You Learn to Kiss That Way (should I do it?). Alas, this is about Michael and his new project The Gentle Spring, a name that seems to exemplify the first track on the group’s new record. You’ll find the light strum and Hiscock’s voice immediately offer up the lightness of Spring, a breeze, light and airy, blowing the warmth of the sun upon your face. As the track steadies and blows, I really love the little details billowing in the background; it textures the tune whilst adding a deeper melodic center you’ll adore. Looking Back at the World will be out the day after my birthday on. January 17th, courtesy of the kind humans in SkepWax/TooGoodToBeTrue.
