TRACK BY TRACK
Band: RIDE (UK)
Track: LIGHT IN A QUIET ROOM
Spectacular epic composition from their brand new,
sublime LP Interplay (album of the week on TUTV).
It starts with Mark Gardner‘s floating vocals over a smooth and vibey, mid-tempo soundscape. At the 3-minute mark, the song fades out with subtle piano touches
but restarts for an explosive, multi-layered-guitar-orgastic finale. Wowzers.

Band: THE CRAWLING EYE (Cardiff, Wales)
Track: FADE AWAY
Piece from their brand-new, must-hear EP The Spider Fields.
It’s an accelerated, head-spinning, dance-around thrill with rap-like vocals
and mettlesome bass fever. Beware, people, the writing is on the wall here.

Artist: OWLS (Ireland)
Track: BODY BAGS
“The song and video have been largely informed by the unfolding events in Gaza. Body Bags looks at humanity turning in on itself. For all the beauty & harmony in the world, we are chaotic by nature – violent and cruel to our own. It explores the human condition and our ability to inflict pain and suffering upon the most vulnerable.”
Producer Owls shares his thoughts about the dramatic Gaza fiasco in
a disturbing techno twister that sounds like an ultimate alarm alert.

Artists: CASTLE BLACK (NYC)
Track: HEART CAN’T BEAT
Jumpy, bouncy and jittery. You need to be in a great physical condition
to dance to this electrical whirlwind stunner. The accompanying video is
great fun. Check it out and judge like the dogs do.

Artist: OWEN MARCHILDON (Canada)
Track: HEAVY DREAMS
Owen Marchildon is a love song for my best friend. Written after our
wedding day, all the moments leading up to it, and knowing that I was
no longer alone.
Once upon a time, working class hero John Lennon sang, ‘All You Need Is Love.‘
That’s what happens here too. Marchildon is in love and shares his cloud-nine
state of mind with us on this frisky, feel-good pop tune.

Artist: IRON & WINE
Track: ANYONE’S GAME
Lauded South Carolina‘s songsmith Samuel Ervin Beam, the man
behind Iron & Wine has already 6 albums on his résumé. And he’ll
share #7, titled Light Verse, with his fans on April 26.
New single Anyone’s Game is vintage I&W. Playful, zippy, poppy.

Artist: KAT KOAN (Berlin)
Track: TIME ALONE
Time Alone is another glamourous ballad featuring Koan‘s befriended collaborator
Freddie Dickson on guitar. It’s a sensual, sexy, and revealing story about a secret
love.
So you’re dimming down the light I should be leaving now I guess
But then, when you touch me right It’s such a beautiful mess
Should be calling it a night It’s better if we don’t
but then you kiss me where my husband wont
Let go it’s alright let go it’s alright

Band: DOWN THE LEES (Canada)
Track: DOWNPLAY
Second shared piece from their upcoming EP, named Dirt, out on May 3.
“The song deals with internal struggle. It serves as a coping mechanism, a means to convince oneself that everything is fine, despite the persistent negativity. It’s an exploration of the interplay between light and darkness, where survival hinges on the ability to “downplay it all.”
A characteristic DTL quiet/Loud/quiet/Loud musing, backed by distorted/guitar hauntingness, and Laura Lee Schultz‘s goosebumps voice up front. Bring on the EP.
