Holy Water Buffalo - Passing Time Peaceful
Holy Water Buffalo bring you an emotive Folk-rock masterpiece with their latest single “Passing Time Peaceful”. Using warm clean tones on the guitar with a thumping bassline and spirited drumming gives this song a wide but well-rounded soundscape. Every note of the instrumentation is expressive and they complement Tommy Brunson’s vocal performance perfectly. Speaking of the vocals, the singing is passionate and the vocal harmonies deliver pure sonic joy to your ears. Holy Water Buffalo comes together on this track to bring you a song that sticks to its evident Folk roots while being unrelentingly charming in its landscape and it is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good music!
Au-Turn - I Walk In Capitals
“I Walk In Capitals” by Au-Turn is meticulously crafted and a true piece of art from start to finish. Dolan Hewinson in this genre-bending track has deliberately placed every note delivering a song in which you can completely lose yourself in. A majority of this song is dominated by captivating vocals but the guitars and instrumentation that they sit atop demand your attention. Taking a slow burn approach the song gradually builds its energy until it makes its explosive exit. Au-Turn has made a statement with his latest solo venture and we can't wait to see what he puts out next!
Feyer - Anything Better to Do
This energetic song brings an incredibly fun sing-song vibe to it, but the lyrics punch you in the face with their poignance the moment you take a second to ponder them. Effortlessly blending Rock and Electronic music the song has a sound like nothing you have ever heard before, but you’ll fall in love with its unique style the moment you hit play. Bursting at the seams with themes of stepping out of your comfort zone and dealing with your social anxieties, the song poses the incredibly relevant question of “Do I have anything better to do?” to anyone with an abundance of free time. “Anything Better to Do” is not just a song, it’s a statement and it's a thought we have all had.
Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends - Wedding Song
A time capsule from the 70s with an undeniable charm, “Wedding Song” by Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends captures the disco-era sound while preserving a modern sound. This song sings about a lover on his wedding day who is trying to keep the glass half full despite knowing the trials and tribulations his relationship has faced and that he is sure will continue to face into the future. Maintaining a melancholic tone the song brilliantly juxtaposes its sadness with the hopeful joy of wanting to live in the moment and enjoy the tolling churchbells and singing nightingales. Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends are a wickedly talented musical outfit so it is no surprise that “Wedding Song” delivers pure ecstasy to your ears
