Gary Dranow - Floating Away
LITM mainstay and returning playlist icon Gary Dranow has just released their warm acoustic rock track “Floating Away”. This song departs from Gary’s typical powerful hard rock-esque sound and takes up a heartfelt and folky-sounding mix that will bring sunshine and warmth to your playlists. The vocals on this song are also excellent as always and the duetted vocals add a layer of depth and complexity to the soundscape that you can’t deny is brilliant. I loved every second of this track and as always Gary Dranow has nailed this one as well. So go check out his music if you have not already!
Waxy Shellac and The Tasteless Apples - Threesome
Waxy Shellac and The Tasteless Apples have put out a whimsical acoustic guitar-driven track “Threesome”. With humorous and sarcastic songwriting on this track, Fred Meltzer has done a fantastic job with the lyrics on this one. This song describes the narrator’s thinly-veiled frustrations with their partner feeling as though he has a ‘threesome’ with his partner and their iPhone. The soundscape is fantastic with this song having an infectious rhythm and cadence.

AVTUMNE - Out Of Ammo
AVTUMNE has a signature sound that masterfully blends electric hard rock and folk music and this talent is displayed in droves on their latest offering “Out of Ammo”. The soundscape of this track is centred around the amazing and driven bassline upon which the other elements of the mix, such as the guitars and vocals sit. The vocal performance on this track is simply sublime and full of vibrant life and expression. AVTUMNE has quite simply nailed this track and has crafted the perfect sound-byte of a track that you can listen to on repeat forever, so go check it out today!
Trummerkind - Beauty Queen
Trummerkind has put out an ambient and beautifully cinematic gothic rock track with their latest offering “Beauty Queen”. This song is driven by an intense and fiery vocal styling that translates brilliantly in the music and you can feel the amount of raw emotion behind every word on this one. With a soundscape that is mostly driven by ambient synths with accompanying guitars and bass, this song has a unique sound quite unlike anything you'd have heard before. Deep lyrics and a perfect mix tie this song together making for a truly one-of-a-kind experience. So go check this track out today!
