5 New Sonic Injections To Start WEEK 39
Artist: MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP
Track: Mother Mary
The German guitar hero Michael Schenker and his group just released
an album titled My Years With UFO which celebrates his years with the
legendary band.
It features several guests, among them that other guitar icon Slash who joins MSG
on a reworked version of this 1975 track. Lots of guitar solos, what else, of course?
Artist: JAKE BUGG
Track: I Wrote The Book
4th shared single from the British songsmith’s upcoming
6th full length, A Modern Day Distraction.
A both reflective and upbeat song (just like the
other 3 tracks) song. Bugg is becoming a rocker.
Band: THE BEACHES
Track: Jocelyn
Following the success of last year’s LP Blame My Ex
the commoving Canadian 4-piece already dropped
4 new singles and here’s #5.
“We wanted to write about the experience of feeling undeserving of all the reverence that was being thrown away after “Blame My Ex” did so well. We kind of wrote the song about this brilliant fan and young woman, and about the experience we were going through, feeling uncomfortable and undeserving of Jocelyn’s adulation.”
It’s a mid-tempo indie pop tune that sticks swiftly.
Band: BIG MOUNTAIN COUNTY
Who: Group formed in Rome in 2013. The members were instantly
bonded over a mutual love for The Stooges, MC5, The Velvet Underground,
and Joe Spencer.
Track: Going Down
Written in a single breath during a lightning-fast session, in those rare moments when creativity flows effortlessly and authenticity reigns, “Going Down” delivers a jolt of high- kicking thrills.
BMC: “We wanted to thrust the listener deep into the metropolitan nightscape, where a relentless and frenetic rhythm takes over, enveloping everything in a synthetic, alienating texture. The night itself is the hysterical protagonist of the song. It is a landscape of fear, neon flickers and speeding cars tearing through the streets. It is a tale of shattered promises, empty pockets and failures, where the only release is a howl into the high- octane blur of the abyss.”
Don’t forget to flush, folks.
Artist: ST. VINCENT
Track: Hombre Roto
Last April New York’s songstress Annie Clarke aka St. Vincent
her formidable 7th longplayer All Born Screaming.
Inspired by the warm reception that she’s gotten when playing to Spanish-speaking crowds, she decided to re-issue the LP with the songs’ lyrics translated into Spanish by
her friend Alan Del Rio Ortiz.
Here’s the first taster. The Spanish version of top-tier tune Broken Man.
