In a fog of acoustic guitars and a mischievous bottom-end tonality, we discover a vocal that is as light as a feather in “Other Side,” the closing finale in Biglemoi’s interestingPermanent Vacation EP. In my first examination of Permanent Vacation, this was the song that got my attention the most; it’s drifting melodies and swanky, muted groove […]
With crushing force, Initial Mass’ Bending Light comes bursting out of the silence with “Killing Heroes,” one of the album’s more consistent and well-rounded tracks. In this explosive stadium-rocker, the riffs take all of the spotlight away from a rollicking drumbeat, with the vocal holding everything together in a sleek, streamlined arrangement of verses.

Matthew John has a lot on his mind in The Best of Matthew John, and in the song “Shine for Me,” the rising star among indie singer/songwriters takes a few minutes to air out his thoughts on self-empowerment in a way that few pop vocalists have in recent memory. “You are my star up in […]

Pop music is taking a turn towards the abstract in the late 2010s, and there aren’t many new singles out this summer that embody the trend better than 2.O.F.’s sensibly odd “Darling Anna” and its parent EP, The Machine. “Darling Anna” is, essentially, an exercise in surreal pop poetry flanked with an R&B-inspired groove, and though […]
Hiding in the shadows. Creeping through the darkness. Coming up behind us when we’re least expecting it. Singer/songwriter Wilhelm’s soft, eloquent vocal follows listeners as we wander down a sonic alleyway shrouded in black in “Carpet,” one of the cornerstone tracks of his new album Lace, which is out now and available everywhere that independent music […]
