The Color Forty Nine Release Storyteller
The self-titled album from The Color Forty Nine is only 7 songs long, but there’s so much depth to the recording that one is apt to find the record stretching beyond expectations. Their latest single has singer Phil Beaumont stretching operatic tones over the musical craft of his support. The rest of the band, particularly the violin work creates this forlorn Western vibe; it’s a brand of Americana that largely goes overlooked…somewhere between troubadour and sea-shanty. They’ll be releasing the s/t record on June 15th via Darla.
MOURN is a group of four youngsters who hail from Catalonia, and are on the way to releasing their sophomore effort. They’ve got a new single for you to jam and find out why you should be in love with their sound if you haven’t already been. “Storyteller” is a fine example of a guitar-driven grower– the sound is pretty big from the start, which may have you wondering how it could possibly get much bigger. But it does– those guitars seem to get louder and the drums more explosive and present in the mix. What finally escalates the song into a bit more punk than rock is the raw way that the vocals evolve into a scream near the end. Make sure you listen and get excited for Ha, Ha, He. which is out June 3rd via Captured Tracksand that you can preorder
