LITM Pop Picks this week will entice and captivate you with their broad spectrum of sounds and flavours from the Christmassy to the sunny and bold. Experience the music of Saer, Alia, Trench Coast, Cam Wilson & Pocket Sun!
Saer - This Time of Year
Saer brings us a December flavoured Christmas track with a unique twist and character with their latest offering “This Time of Year”. While most Christmas tracks tend towards an unabashedly upbeat and joyous soundscape, Saer brings us a captivating and reflective track that brings us a sombre melody in which he reflects upon the bittersweet memories of this time of year. Saer draws you in and keeps you hooked with his wonderful falsetto singing which is the star of the show on this song. You will lose yourself in this track and you absolutely must go check it out for yourself today!
Alia - I’m Getting Off
Alia brings us a soulful and free-spirited pop-rock track with their latest outing “I’m Getting Off”. This song opens with a muted and incredibly simply constructed soundscape that consists of not much more than gorgeous guitars and fiery, expressive singing. The vocals on this track carry this song and they alone elevate the ambience to new heights as you can really feel the amount of emotion that has been poured into every single lyric. Alia is a talent that can’t be overlooked and maintains an honest, grounded sound on this track that your playlists will look better off for including!
Trench Coast - Vallies
Trench Coast has brought us a wonderful exploration of soundscapes and musical ambiences with their latest offering “Vallies”. This track that opens on interesting and bassy synth bets immediately draws your anticipation and attention as it instantly hooks you to the music and keeps you listening. With a soundscape that only builds in intricacy in complexity as the song progresses, you completely lose track of time as you find yourself completely lost in the music and before you know it, you are hitting the replay button to listen through it again. Trench Coat has nailed this track and you need to give it a listen!
Cam Wilson - Best of It
Cam Wilson brings us a warm and soulful acoustic pop track with his latest offering “Best of It”. This track is driven by some astonishingly good acoustic guitar work that walks the line between rocky and folk with its warm and vibrant expressions of sound. Cam’s vocal performance is one that is spectacular and will lift your spirits and listening experience to dizzying new heights. This song is also perfectly produced with a full-bodied and well-balanced feel despite having only a handful of elements in the mix. I loved listening to this track and so will you, so go check it out!
Pocket Sun - Jupiter
Pocket Sun explodes onto the scene and in your ears with music that is full of life and colour with their latest musical offering “Jupiter”. Opening on wonderfully expressive synth melodies with retro-influenced motifs and sounds this song immediately has you hooked and at full attention. The vocal performance on this track is smooth-flowing and well-constructed, and they work well with the instrumental to create a unique and memorable listening experience quite unlike any other. Pocket Sun is a musical outfit who are criminally underrated and their music deserves more of your love and attention. So go check them out starting with “Jupiter” today!
