VITAL will be bringing to light 10 splendid songs you should bury yourself in! Do not expect “genre barriers”!
Lee Cleaveland & The Lefthand Band – Cyborg Man
The lead single off of Detroit based Lee Cleaveland & The Lefthand Band’s debut album is an explosive garage, rock n” roll dynamite, that no Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s fan should neglect. Volcanic stuff!
Victor Mucho – so terribly hurt
Victor Mucho is the new alias of Judah & the Lion’s Brian Macdonald, and ‘so terribly hurt’ is the 2nd single from his debut album ‘Moonlight in Visby’; A transcendent lo-fi rock/indie folk experience with beautiful vocal harmonies (features compelling vocals from singer/songwriter Molly Parden) and delicate melodies that will directly seep into your brain….
Conflict at Serenity Pools – Seabird
Conflict at Serenity Pools’ stunning single ‘Seabird’ literally came out of nowhere! Like most of the best surprises. If you take My Bloody Valentine, Fuck Buttons, A Place To Bury Strangers and Animal Collective together in the studio and jam for 5 minutes then this would have been the ‘bastard child’! A post punk, shoegaze, lo-fi psychedelic rock vortex that will blow your speakers out!
Seraphin – Carolina Lunchtime
An excellent gypsy folk track with beautiful vocal harmonies and a haunting violin taken from Seraphin’s upcoming album ‘7665’, due out in mid April!
The Emerald Hour – Reflections
‘Reflections’ is a powerful mix of post rock with progressive rock elements by Massachusetts’ power/progressive rock trio with The Emerald Hour… Make sure you make it until the bleeding guitar solo!
The Anchoress – Let It Hurt
Welsh multi-instrumentalist Catherine Anne Davies’ ‘Let It Hurt’ is the phenomenal, most recent single; A chamber folk treasure with emotive vocals and considers how we process grief. On endless repeat!
Amy Correa Bell – Anyways
Captivating vocals, alluring amalgam of alternative r&b, indie electronic and dream pop and divine arpeggios are the basic elements of Amy Correa Bell’s latest offering ‘Anyways’. Super stylish, engaging & fresh!
Mahogany Frog – A Decision Of The Flower
Mahogany Frog’s first single from the album, ‘A Decision Of The Flower’ tells the story of the courtship between Faust and Gretchen. Faust has traded his soul for knowledge, youth, and worldly pleasures. When he tires and becomes unfulfilled with this life, he meets Gretchen and tastes true love. This scene is the courtship of this new love. A genre-bending odyssey, combining post, psych and kraut rock!
The Lovelines – Dark Thoughts About A Pretty Flower
US brother and sister duo, The Lovelines recently gifted us with their alluring ‘Dark Thoughts About A Pretty Flower’, with an addictive melodic line & deep, sensual vocals!
Polluted Womb – SUPERDRUGS!
Hope you are ready for some sonic amphetamines! Polluted Womb’s ‘SUPERDRUGS!’ is an explosive noise, thrash punk blast, whose 101 seconds are more than enough for eternal (brain) damage!
