  • ISLE – Luna

    IsleThis is the 3rd track from their first EP ‘Grey’. Has some rock influence and really interesting sounds running in the track.  Reminds me a bit of Empire of the Sun.

    About this song

    “Luna is about purpose, finding your way and following a path. It’s about listening to that internal compass we all have and making sense of what it’s telling you”.

    ISLE are multi-medium musicians based in the stark Scottish Borders. Comprising of producer Liam John Rutherford and drummer Ben Singer, ISLE are avid self-producers who partner audio and visuals to create an all-encompassing experience. Emotion-fuelled precision meets epic methodical drums to create raw alt-pop that punches and pulls.

    Luna embodies the ISLE spectrum – driven by both darkly epic undertones and infectiously uplifting bursts of keys and chants. As the third track from their Grey EP, Luna represents ISLE’s curiosity with storytelling and structure.

  • Analogue Electronic Whatever – European Home

    AnalogueHop aboard the time machine and lets travel back in time to the land of Kraftwerk.  This track expertly captures that era of music and production with its own harmony and melody.  Anyone that has a love of retro-synth sounds will love this track.  I’ve had this track on repeat for the last hour, still can’t get enough of it.

    About this song

    ‘Analogue, electronic, whatever it happens to be, I simply love and adore literally every aspect of making music’ – John Lydon

    Using cast-away sounds, re-cycled synths and drum machines AEW create a balance between pop structures and experimentation. The sounds and textures are crafted from vintage sources creating warm and mellow music that explores themes ofchildhood, the natural world, industrialism and pop history.

    European home is the first in a series of releases from Analogue Electronic Whatever

     

     

  • CHIMES – Come Get It

    ChimesCombine electronic, pop, and soul with a beautiful voice to set it all off and you have Chimes.  Upbeat number with some tricks up their sleeves on the production side of things.  I like the little Disco strings flares that surface in the track.

    About this song

    CHIMES is the collaborative project between British producer Draper and multi-genre songwriter/vocalist Paul Aiden. Forged through a speculative songwriting session in mid-2014, Draper and Aiden discovered both a creative chemistry and a shared love of constructing crossover dance-pop music. Several late-night writing sessions and live rehearsals later, CHIMES was born.
    The duo’s first release “Silvia” was a pounding house track that received praise from BBC Introducing (Record Of The Week), DIY Magazine, andBreaking More Waves, naming CHIMES as one of the most promising artists of the year. They quickly followed up with “PIECES,” a three-minute and thirty second burst of euphoric energy while conversely the lyrics expose the insecurity and battle for self-confidence.
    The pair’s latest release “Come Get It” is their first since last August, revealing a funky synth-pop sound backed by swirling guitars and irresistible rhythms. It’s provocative in its composition and lyrically, with Aiden singing “Come get it / you can’t get it / til you get it right.”
