New Music 2024

OVERMONO & THE STREETS – “TURN THE PAGE”......................like this as well.

Overmono have shared their rework of The Streets’ “Turn the Page” which turns the song widescreen.
 
ELLIS – “HOME”.......................stick with this its really good.
“This song, “home”, is the thesis of this record,” she says. “Growing up, my family moved a lot, and even in my adult life i’ve struggled to stay in the same place for very long. I think ultimately I have just been searching for a place to belong, both in a geographical sense, but also conceptually. I think it’s what we all sort of want. what that means has changed for me over and over. I’m still just trying to figure it out.”

 
KÁRYYN – “ODAR”........................not my usual cuppa but think this deserves to be heard.

KÁRYYN’s new EP Calm KAOSS! is out next month, and the latest single is “ODAR,” her interpretation of Armenian folk song “Odaroutioun.” “Our Armenian language is an ancient written alphabet, found in the illuminated manuscripts, a language on the endangered language list today,” she says. “The language is threatened further due to the refugee crisis caused by the genocide, and by the crisis which moved and destroyed one of the largest Armenian communities during the 2011 Syrian war. When we speak and sing in Armenian, it is an act of survival and activism. A language from as far back as the 5th century, only Sanskrit and a few others are older.

 
MAYA HAWKE – “HANG IN THERE”.........................like this a lot and I suppose some of us can relate to its message as well.

“The idea of ‘Hang in There’ is when you have someone close to you, who’s going through something awful that you’ve been through earlier in your life, and you know that you can’t interfere because they’ll probably isolate themselves from you,” Maya Hawke says of her new single. “So you have to just watch as they get really hurt. Until they have that moment where they realize they’ve been in a toxic situation all along. Then they come to you, and together, you help them emerge from it. It’s a moment of real happiness when you can witness the pieces all click into place.” It’s from her new album Chaos Angel.

 
DANIEL DAVIES – “I KNOW WHY”..............another I like.

Daniel Davies, son of The Kinks’ Dave Davies, is one of John Carpenter’s main musical collaborators these days but he spent years in rock bands including Year Long Disaster and Karma to Burn. He has announced solo album Ghost of the Heart which will be out June 21 via Sacred Bones. “Writing a rock album is an expression on how the artist feels, while scoring a film involves creating soundscapes to complement someone else’s story,” Davies says. “With this album, I wanted to merge the heavy guitar riffs from my rock days with the atmospheric synth sounds I’ve been experimenting with as a composer.”

 
GIRL IN RED – “GIRLFRIEND IS BETTER” (TALKING HEADS COVER)........................thought this was going to be crap when it first started but when it gets going its good. Which pleases me as I think G.I.R is really good.

The latest track from A24’s Talking Heads tribute album, Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense.

 
LES SAVVY FAV – “WORLD GOT GREAT”

Les Savy Fav‘s first album in 14 years is out in a couple weeks, and all the singles so far have been good. As is this one.

 
LOS BITCHOS – “LA BOMBA”......................instrumental stuff mainly does nothing for me. Even with added electronic beats. Sounds like something from a B movie Spaghetti Western.
