One Last Soft Walls Single
This last single from Soft Walls before the release of True Love has been out for a few days, but seeing as the record comes out tomorrow, I wanted to make sure I had it up on these web pages. Where “Waking” had this incredible energy that drove energy through the speakers, this tune flips that into a more introspective piece, working with a weighted vocal performance and a light bit of guitar strum. There’s a textural wash atop the tune that leaves you with this bit of musical residue that kind of clings to the inside of your ears as further layers are added by percussion to continue the swell of the track itself. Tomorrow, grab a copy of True Love.
I felt like I let you down last week, having only really covered about 17 new songs, but in that, we tried to make sure there were some burners in there that would get you excited. What better way to start off this week’s recap than bringing you the world’s best power pop outfit, The High Water Marks and their new single. We got a new RVG tune, which is never a bad place to be, plus Beach Fossils continued to show their growth on the new LP. And, it wouldn’t be us if there was no Austin contingent, so we ran an acoustic session from Redbud, plus the latest from Dress Warm. Take a listen.
We covered tons of territory last week, particularly as we ran tons of little interviews in our Meet the SXSW Band features; it’s also the Spring season, so that means there are tons of announcements about new records and such. I was stoked to hear new stuff from Constant Follower and Mary Onettes, plus we premiered new tune from The National Honor Society and Hot Coppers. And, seeing as its SXSW, we got interviews back from Daiistar, Taleen Kali, Hamish Hawk and a ton more, all with little introductions plus their music. Or, you can listen to the jams below and see if they’re playing near you, wherever you find yourself!
