Unfortunately, due to covid-19 complications, I have not been able to write many new articles in past weeks:( So these ones will be a bit shorter than usual⦠then I will take a break for about a month and I will come back at the end of September!:)
SWIM CAMP – SOCCER
𧑠I discovered Swim Camp with his Pretty Bird song in around 2019, but honestly I don’t know much of his discography, only heard a few tracks (which I liked)… and this is not that pleasant & nice like his previous stuff, i feel kinda “I don’t give a fuck” vibe from this one – and maybe that’s why I like it so much! That monotonous vocal is amazing.
π my favorite moment is that noise part in the middle of the track, that was just perfect! (yes, I want more lo-fi/noise experiments. yes, I’m so tired of that clean bedroom pop spotify lo-fi sound that is soo uninspiring…)
π Swim Camp’s work reminds me of Alex G a lot (who likes to experiment as well – those new singles are brilliant). I would love to hear more weird tracks from Swim Camp like this one in the future… looking forward!
HORATIO JAMES – THEY WILL HAVE US
𧑠this is exactly that type of melody that I love. It sounds like an old, supercatchy Belle and Sebastian song. Nice!
π I love songs with this type of energy, fast guitars (I mean, for this indie genre), crazy electric guitars in the chorus…
π those female back vocals are beautiful as well and elevate the song to an even higher level!
HEDDLU – AUTO-DA-FΓ
𧑠I can feel that I would enjoy this song live a lot, incredible portion of energy that is not that regular in this indie genre…
π it’s not easy to make a 4-minute song that would be this entertaining for the whole length… but Rhodri Daniel aka heddlu seems to be an experienced and very talented singer-songwriter. Respect!
π that synth ‘solo’ at around 2:10 is addictive, and when the vocal comes in again and then the guitar (or is it still a synth?)… definitely my favorite part!
