Sonic Groove Orgasm – New Single ‘MAN OF CHAOS’ By Vibrant Nashville Rockers FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…
.
26 June 2020
Band: FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Who: Psychedelic space rocker blending heavy rock and grunge with pop hooks and light synth textures. They fearlessly bring together influences that span from Kings of Leon to Vivaldi and Lana Del Rey. “I think you could find some of our future tracks on ISS Radio in the year 2050” says frontwoman, Karalyne Winegarner of the band’s sound.”
Track: MAN OF CHAOS – Winegarner stated about the new single: “‘Man Of Chaos’ shines
a light on that dark and creeping chaotic energy slowly seeping through the cracks of social turbulence. It is about waking up to a certain side of yourself. Chaos is a catalyst for change, and I hope
that our expression of it via this song can help to somehow tip the scale towards that unapologetic change so many are long overdue.”
Score: Just like that, this morning in my inbox, one of this year’s best singles. I repeat,
one of this year’s best singles. Fact! ‘Man Of Chaos‘ is a flaming groove banger driven
by a motorik drum beat. A feverish cracker and jaw-dropping power stroke your limbs
just can’t resist. The sensual, magnetic and spellbinding vocals create a sort of delirious trance. And when, unexpectedly, bouncy strings kick in as a harbinger for a vibrant finale you’ll reach a sonic orgasm. A game-changer indeed! You need to see your doctor if your bloodstream doesn’t boost on hearing this five-star knockout.
Let’s roll…

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS – Rave Junkies Released Their Debut Album ‘EXIT PLANET DUST’ 25 Years Ago
26 June 2020
Band: The Chemical Brothers (Manchester, UK)
Album: Exit Dust Planet
Released: 26 June 1995 – 25 years ago today
Artwork: Bro Simons said a the time “We wanted something
that just looked nice. A lot of techno albums just have fractals
on them, and we wanted something a bit more romantic and
otherworldly with soft, nice colours.”
Title: A reference to their original name ‘The Dust Brothers’
Score: #9 in the UK – over the years, gold in
Great-Britain and platinum in the US
Stereogum wrote: “Exit Planet Dust was a culturally important album, and an influential one, at least for a while. The combination of rave sirens and psych-rock far-outness was probably what convinced people like Noel Gallagher and Mercury Rev to jump onboard when the Chems made their even-better follow-up album Dig Your Own Hole two years later. And in the second half of the ’90s, spaced-out dance music came to rival Britpop as the dominant sound of young people getting fucked up in the UK, as you’ll hear on the Trainspotting soundtrack. Exit Planet Dust was a big part of that.”
Key phrase: The Brothers gonna work it out
Keywords: Big beats, 24-hour party people, fuel for dance marathons, dusty techno
Key tracks: Leave Home / Life Is Sweet / Chemical Beats / One Too Many Mornings /

TUTV wrote back then: “Although, at times, more reflective than before
(Denial, the surprising, yet brilliant Tanker 2, Pt.2 and the cinematic
quiet/loud closer We Are Nothing) this 4-headed tornado keeps producing an
illegal amount of decibels. They rip your sonic heart out with primal screams,
loudmouthed extravaganza, smoking grooves, and well-oiled jams. This time
with different layers and different moods.”
Key phrase: Turn Up the Volume’s best longplayer of 2018
