LITM Rock Picks this week feature the genre-bending and pioneering work of artists looking to make their mark on the industry. Featuring the talents of The Tiger Moths, Mortal Prophets, Electric High, Cautionary Tales and Intruder 424, prepare to be transported to a different auditory plane!
The Tiger Moths - Lost In The Rain
The Tiger Moths with their latest track “Lost In The Rain” bring a wonderfully nostalgic 60s folk-rock sound that is full of life. With interesting guitar parts, and a funky bassline as well as a spirited drumming. The vocal performance on this piece is bar none. This song also never sits still constantly building and falling in energy with wonderful synths and ambient samples. Invoking the spirit of 60s rockers such as The Beatles, The Kinks and so many more as well as that classic fuzzy telecaster, The Tiger Moths breathe new life into the genre with their retro sound!
Mortal Prophets - Dealey Plaza Blues (Jackie O)
Mortal Prophets “Dealey Plaza Blues (Jackie O)” is a bone-chilling track that you can’t stop listening to, despite its hauntingly ritualistic sound. Mortal Prophets are a truly experimental outfit with their atypical instrumentation, arrangements and vocal stylings, which gives this song an incredibly eerie and dream-like soundscape. A song about the conspiracy theorists obsessed with the JFK assassination, the song’s lyrics are not complex but they are impactful. Something indescribable about their repetitive nature just sticks in your mind and doesn't leave. The Mortal Prophets don’t make music that you can rock out to, but instead, make music that speaks to something primal in your mind that comes to life in your ears!
Electric High - Flicking The Bees
I don’t know how a song can sound easygoing and frantic at the same time but Electic High manage to pull off exactly that with their latest track release “Flicking The Bees”. The vocal performances on this track are stand-out and this song has an infectious energy to it that sticks with you. The message of this song is basically about comeuppance and cosmic karma but it's allegorised through the lens of bees coming back to sting you if you keep flicking them. If you want a wild six-minute ride that flies by serenading your ears with good music the whole time this is the song for you!
Cautionary Tales - Women
Cautionary Tales are a dreamy band and the sound on their latest track “Women” is surreal. Wonderfully experimental in their sound, Cautionary Tales preserve just enough traditional rock stylings to sound familiar but are innovative enough to sound fresh. A stand-out element of this song is its production because every note, bassline and snare beat is crystal clear and the mix is just pure butter, Cautionary Tale has also mastered storytelling with their music with the music and melodies of this track bending and swaying according to the story beats of the lyrics leading to an extraordinarily immersive listening experience!
Intruder 424 - Devil In Your Crown
A Grunge Rock masterpiece “Devil In Your Crown” by Intruder 424 is an energy-filled headbanging experience. Each of the guitars is loud and powerful while the bass is razor-sharp and accompanied by authoritative drumming. The song is also a technical mastercraft and shines as it flows ending in a sublime tempo-changed breakdown section. The vocal performance on this piece is also nothing to scoff at with strong passionate singing that has an anthemic feel to it. Intruder 424 are geniuses of their craft and I can't wait to hear what other music they put out next, but as of now you must check out “Devil In Your Crown”!
