Flight Mode Announce New EP

Flight Mode won me over with the Texas ’98 EP, which had some nostalgic moments, both for the songwriter, and myself, someone who was living in Texas in 1998. Now, the Oslo band revisit another place in their own history, looking back on the Torshov neighborhood in 2005. Musically, the songwriting is a little more expansive on this first single, perhaps pensive; it feels like something you’d find on a Jade Tree sampler, or a B-side of a Joan of Arc record. I love how the gentle vocals get a heavier backing vocal to give the song just the slightest edge…the faintest, as this track is too pretty to break up. The Torshov ’05 EP is dropping May 6th on Sound as Language.

Steady Dose of Pop from Steven James Adams

sjaThe older I get the more I just want to delve into great pop songwriting; I don’t need the frills, just great tunes. I’m pretty sure that this new single from Steven James Adams will fall in line with that attitude. Opening as a piano ballad, allowing Adams’ voice to shine brightly before the song bounces off into a spritely bit of pop music. Drums steady the melodies, and while the sound is filled with extra instrumentation, no instrument overdoes it…everyone plays their part perfectly. It’s our first glimpse at what’s to come with Old Magick, his second album coming via Fortuna Pop in early 2016.
