Glass Pear - 'Summer'

ANTHEMIC POP ROCK


Lyrics spawn pleasant imagery. The violins add a refreshing layer to the meditative song. 

From Glass Pear (2012)

The Peach Kings - 'Mojo Thunder'

INDIE ROCK


Sexy track that will make you sway. The guitar distortion complements the breathy vocals to create the right groove. 

"Fever in my veins. Fever in my veins."

From Mojo Thunder EP (2014)

Paul Desmond - 'O Gato'

BOSSA NOVA



Great sax and great guitar. The hats get a bit too metallic and high at some point. The whole album is recommended, really.

No Disco - 'Unnamed Track' #6

COLD WAVE ELECTRONIC 


Gloomy synths with quick tempos. Vocals croon haunting, heartbreaking lyrics. Could be better mixed, but I can see how the current mixing job may fit the overall mood of the song. 

"You don't love me. No; not at all. You don't answer when I call. You are hollow when I'm there. I am shallow beyond repair."

SAINT MOTEL - 'My Type'

ALTERNATIVE POP ROCK




Exciting music with a great sax+trumpet intro. Flirtatious lyrics with great dance elements. The whole EP maintains this excitement.

"I can't help myself but stare...I'm a man who's got very specific taste."

From My Type EP (2014) by Parlophone.


Y LUV - 'Jacques Cousteau'

ALTERNATIVE INDIE ROCK


Bass line beauty with squealing guitars. Raspy yet clear vocals demanding more from life. Quite liberating.
