Knife Girl Share Eat You Alive

Leave a comment

Having received tons of praise last year with the release of Uniform, Finland’s pop mastermind Knife Girl return with this pulsating pop hit. There’s something kind of oddball about it, particularly in some of the vocal tones, but you can’t deny that turning this up doesn’t just get your body shaking and grooving as you listen through. The song throws out the concept of love in favor of giving into that animalistic lust, which definitely is the vibe you get from this song. I love my pop music upbeat and out there, so thankfully Knife Girl is still giving us those hits. Thanks to Soliti for putting this on our radar.

ATX Spotlight: New Shawn David McMillen

Leave a comment

sdm12XU had a solid day yesterday with some national press for Uniform (which you can read about HERE), but quietly they also unleashed this striking new tune from Shawn David McMillen.  It’s nearly six minutes of sprawled out electric roots rock, reveling in the soul of Texas summer nights.  One would think that it’s lack of brevity would make repeated listens difficult, but there’s a spirit in this song that’s undeniable, which inevitably forced me to press play at least a half-dozen times before I even touched this post.  It doesn’t hurt that his new album On the Clock with JJ & Mitch is a representation of his work with local heavy-hitters JJ Ruiz and Mitch Frazier (from such acts as Church Shoes & Trustees).  Look for the album on April 28th, if you’re into buying music.
