5 New Sonic Injections To Start Week 30
22 July 2024
Band: JOHNNY MARR And THE HEALERS
Who: Marr‘s own short-lived band (2001-2004)
who released one album, named Boomslang
in 2003.
Track: ALL OUT ATTACK
This September Boomslang will be re-issued featuring 9 previously
unreleased tracks including this guitar-layered, psychedelic jam.
Band: FIDLAR
(Fuck It Dog, Life’s a Risk)
Track: DOWN OUT
From the LA punks’ 4th LP, their first in 5 years. It’s named
Surviving The Dream and will land on September 20.
Down Out is an instantly sticking, jangly and
non-stop speedy offshoot. Head-twisting stuff.
Band: PALAYE ROYALE
Who: Las Vegas‘ rock stars
Track: ACHE IN MY HEART
Third cut from their upcoming 5th album,
named Death Or Glory, out on August 30.
Mid-tempo pop gem.
Band: THE COURETTES
Who: Danish-Brazilian
duo based in Denmark.
Track: CALIFORNIA
The lead single from the glam and glitter pop tandem’s
upcoming longplayer The Soul Of… The Fabulous Courettes
out September 27.
Flavia Couri (voice): “I mean, I know some bands can do that but we don’t see
ourselves making the same album for the next 20 years. We thought ‘Back In Mono’
was our best album until this one!”
California is a pure summer pop kick. A fun, infectious,
organ-juiced tune with a 60s Shangri-Las vocality to make
your day.
Artist: PERFUME GENIUS
Who: The musical moniker for Iowa‘s passionate
singer/songwriter Michael Alden Hadreas who scored
6 LPs so far.
Track: ALL AROUND ME NOW
One of the two songs PG wrote for the brand-new released soundtrack
for 2023 film National Anthem, about a 21-year-old construction worker
in New Mexico joins a community of queer rodeo performers in search of
their own version of the American dream.
Playful piano musing.
