In this edition of LITM Rock Picks, we curate a mix of artists like Mohawk Castle and more!
Mohawk Castle - “Crawl To Me”
Mohawk Castle is the solo project of Erik David Hidde, blending indie-rock with electronic-trap elements to create a boundary-pushing sound that fuses synths, trap beats, and post-rock guitars. On his latest track, “Crawl To Me”, he creates a beautiful atmosphere laden in swathes of reverb, as his singing gently brings us to the focus of the track — and as the energy develops, it does so gently, incorporating elements from organic texture design to bring a unique, fulfilling sound. With a solid mix that reaches to the farthest ends of the spectrum to bring you a wide listen, this track is engrossing for sure! Check it out here:
Ari Joshua - “The Clinic”
Ari Joshua is an experimental musician that, with their guitar skills, bring a full-bodied sound to the fore — and collaborating with artists Skerik, Delvon Lamarr and Grant Schroff, the collective brings their track, “The Clinic”, an experiment in jazz rock and blues that’s all about pushing the boundaries of music and cementing a sound that’s very uniquely their own/ Right from the start of the track, the saxophones and synths take the main stage, as the guitars and mellotrons add the spice and vivacity in the mix. With a beautifully innovative sound, this is one track that’s sure to keep you entertained fro start to end — check it out here!
Electric High - “Colorful White Lies”
Electric High are a bunch of rockers from Norway that are all about bringing energy to any room with their peppy tunes, artistic motifs, and excellent production — and on their latest single, “Colorful White Lies”, they present the title track to their EP; and from start to end, the energy is at an all-time high, going even further up as the song grows on you. The production is innovative, spirited, and has all the polish you’d expect from a punk/highway rock sound taking you straight back to the 80s and 90s; and I’m happy to report the execution is spot on. All in all, a winner of a track! Take a listen to the song here:
River Fury - “Comedown”
River Fury, a London-bred rock band formed by solo performers Dan Howe and Patric Nutton in 2009, channels raw energy and resilience, overcoming setbacks to deliver gritty, self-produced tracks — and on their latest single, “Comedown”, they wow their fans once more, with their signature high-energy punk rock sound coupled with clean, charming singing that sounds like a page straight out of the good old era of grunge and pop rock — and as we step into the choruses, there’s much to appreciate about the way this song comes together. The vast, expansive sound propels this track to a level that’s worth the kudos every bit; check it out here!
TT - “Let Us Breathe”
American singer-songwriter TT transforms life's struggles into art, with his latest single, “Let Us Breathe”, blending country, classical, and rock influences to create something astute and artful. TT’s singing is an easy standout on this track, with a certain flair and energy to the vocals and the guitars in close tow, bringing a boost of energy to your day. The solo section towards the middle of the track further elevates and impresses, with a bout of pizzazz in the way this track comes together. All in all, a winner of a track! Check it out here:
