This 80’s throwback track entitled “Mood Ring” comes from an artist known as “GodRays”. That characteristic 80’s synth bass is present and groovy, as well as the electronic drum kit sounds that were used throughout the iconic time period.
Trip-Hop producer Juxly delivers this cool-vibing track entitled “Drowning”. A chopped up and sometimes reversed piano sample provides the base of the track, and the drums carry the back beat while Kelsey Collins belts out some soulful vocals, with the occasional sax solo thrown in for good measure.
Coming from Dublin Ireland, Radio Room is a 4 piece alt/indie band. Their song “About You” is an intense and dynamic ,albeit short, tune. A sweet little guitar picking riff starts off the song, then the rest of the instruments come in to build up to the first vocal line, which hits really well. The song plays back and forth with loud and quiet parts, giving the song a dynamic quality that peaks the listeners ears.
This funky, sample chopped tune comes from “Idea Unsound”, who is based in Sacramento. Funky guitar chords, piano playing, and horn melodies are chopped up and re-arranged into a whole new take.
I came across this little gem by a band called “Sabals”. The song is called “Wild Thing”, and its a really tight, well produced Indie rock tune. A groovy bass and drums rhythm starts off the song, with reverb guitar scratches for atmosphere. The female vocalist has a sweet and tender voice, and can also belt out a catchy melody with force.
