Act without a thought
You wish that it was all imagined
Your demons unfold before me
Even what I want I'm bound to let it all end swiftly
I'm in it for the moment
#1 Hit Single by Cende doesn't live up to its name. There are at least a few great tracks on the album! So don't stick to a single and start at the start with the horribly catchy "What I Want" featuring Greta Kline aka Frankie Cosmos.
RIYL: LVL UP, Two Inch Astronaut, Frankie Cosmos, Porches, Cayetana
As dawn breaks, I remain in the dark
Your echo leaves a scar
So you'll never be gone
I'm just getting into Pale Seas and I'm loving what I'm hearing so far. It's a bit hard to pin down, but I'm getting a bit of an Oasis vibe, maybe Placebo as well, but with an earthy, folksy cast to it. Like if Neko Case was fronting one of those bands. It's cool stuff and I expect more from their upcoming album, Stargazing For Beginners.
RIYL: Editors, Placebo, Neko Case, Blaenavon, Wolf Parade
If you were to die before me
I hope you haunt me forever
And if I were to die before you
Yeah I'm gonna haunt you forever, with clever puns, yeah
Pacific NW peeps coming at you with a new album and a sound that is so familiar, yet distinct. Clever intertwining guitars and vocal harmonies, with a good measure of pop sensibility and a dash of indie cynicism. If you like this, you should definitely check out the rest of A Future, and their previous album Death By Proxy (it feels a little harder edged than this one, but in a good way).
RIYL: Modest Mouse, Day Wave, Tipling Rock, The Shins, Cold War Kids
Is love mental disease or lucky fever dream?
Fine with either
Gave birth to monsters who will terrorize normalcy, yeah
They'll terrorize
QOTSA's last album, 2013's Like Clockwork, is a masterpiece and a classic. So, you might expect, I'm excited to get some new music from them. They've got a couple of singles out in advance of the release of Villians and they're solid. Use those ears to take in today's Most Important, "The Way You Used To Do" and then use your eyes to oggle that sweet album art.
RIYL: Eagles of Death Metal, Fu Manchu, Melvins, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
My carpet smells like beer forever, forever
If all the people dressed like sheeple
There would be no color, no color
Those are my people
There would be no color, no color
Those are my people
My first thought upon hearing Cherry Glazerr, was something along the lines of "damn, this reminds me of The Donnas." That's a very good thing. It'd been awhile since I'd listened to The Donnas, but they're a lot of fun. Turns out Cherry Glazerr may have less in common with The Donnas than they do with acts like Honeyblood, Diet Cig and La Sera, but, hey, that's cool too. Their latest album, Apocalipstick, is fantastic and much more diverse than I'd originally expected with quite a few stand outs.
RIYL: The Donnas, Diet Cig, Honeyblood, La Sera, Japanese Breakfast
